One Month Surgiversary with pics
Can't believe I'm having a surgiversary!! I am so excited! In the month since surgery I have lost 20 pounds and several inches. I feel better, even though I still get tired by the end of the week. I am getting in my protein and most of my water. My sense of smell has heightened to an amazing level, which makes eating and drinking some things quite unpleasant. I no longer crave sweets. I have had a nibble or two of some sweets and I don't want them. They taste as they should, but the don't entice me like they once did. That is such a relief! I still crave soda, but I haven't gone anywhere near it. I would hope it would be like the sweets and not taste nearly as good as I remember, but if I'm wrong...Well, I'm just not going to go there and then there's no need to worry.
My husband and my family tell me they can see a world of difference. I don't see that much, but I do see some, which is a very good thing. I have already gotten rid of all my 2x shirts(too baggy). I am still in a 22 pants, but most of them were quite snug and now they are all baggy. Hopefully before long I can go shopping for new sizes. I could "squeeze" into a 20 I'm sure, but why squeeze and be uncomfortable when these finally fit as they should(and there are so many more small sizes in store for my future).
As you can tell, today is a good day with lots of positivity for me!! Yea!! Here are pics as promised. The before is from my cruise this past November(3 weeks before I started my pre-op) and the after pics are from this morning.
