Shpping in My Close

This morning I organized my closet.  I found many gaments in a storage closet that now fit.  Before putting the "new" things in my closet I tried everything on.  I was doing he happy dance.  When I look at myself I don't see the 35 lbs.gone but when I try on clothes that never fit, it hits me.

I have so much more energy now.  Housework isn't my favorite thing to do but it's nice to be able to clean the house without sitting down every few minutes because I'm so tired or my knees or back hurt too much. 

Eating is still a problem and not very enjoyable a lot of the time, but that's okay.  I feel so much better and I'm off all meds except Synthroid. 

Friday night I tried Egg Drop Soup and one spoonful was enough.  The egg taste was so strong.....it was Egg Drop Soup.  Also tried Shrimp with Lobster Sauce from a Chinese restaurant.  The shrimp was very good, also had a spoonful of rice, but the sauce was repulsive.  It looked like cooked egg whites.  Won't be ordering that entree again.

I was never a big fan of eggs but just can't eat them at all now.  I'm really good at following my doctor's orders, but I kept thinking about how much I would love to have a diet Sprite so I fixed a small glass and let it set for awhile.  It tasted awful, like syrup.

dont you just love your RNY???? all of this is great wows but just wait it gets even better and better.....be sure and take lots of pictures along the way it is the best way to look at where you were and where you are and you can see the difference......also keep telling yourself all along the way.....i am woman here me roar....lol laugh a lot, and be happy.

My husband is my biggest fan.  He compliments me often and tells me how proud he is of me.  Yesterday he remarked how much more energy I have.  I never had the feeling he was ever ashamed of me but I know he is happy for my better health.

I tried on my wedding dress I wore 16 years ago in December and it fits.  I'll be wearing it to my company's Holiday party.  By then I may have to alter it.

I read on the boards about people that are mourning food and I've not had the problem.  Some foods look good but I know they either aren't good for me or I can get them down but it doesn't bother me.  Losing the weight, feeling better and being off meds is so worth it.
