I'm withering away! :)
Sep 09, 2012
I am almost 1 month post op now and the changes I have seen have been completely unbelievable! I have been incredibly fortunate that I have not yet had a stall yet (knock on wood) I know this will probably happen in the near future so I am mentally preparing myself. But for now I am just enjoying the victories I have been achieving lately. It is the most unbelievable feeling in the world to realize that I control my hunger. It no longer controls me. I have literally become "THAT" girl. I seriously forget to eat. I have no hunger and no cravings for things that I am not supposed to eat. Seriously I baked 72 cupcakes this week and didn't touch anything. I'm talking filled with mousse, topped with buttercream frosting. Before I would have gorged myself on my homemade cream cheese frosting (yeah, I'll brag, I'm a pretty amazing cupcake maker ;} hehe) But I literally had NO interest. Just drank my powerade and plowed thru 6 hours of baking and decorating. People are noticing I am losing. My face is shrinking, my feet are already almost a 1/2 size smaller! I have to say its weird now to touch my stomach and realize it's also shrinking. I am so happy that I make the decision to have this surgery. It has saved my life. Oh and men are totally noticing me again! I don't know if its the weight loss or if I just have much more self esteem and confidence but seriously this week 3 men have hit on me! LOL.....and not subtly if I may add! Haha..I tried my wedding ring and engagment ring on, which I stopped wearing a few months ago because a) it cut off the circulation to my finger because it was soo tight and b) I'm seperated, in the process of getting a divorce, but the highlight of this story is that my rings fit, are actually too big now. I just can't stop raving. I have tried so many diets, exercise routines, medications, hypnosis, shots, weight loss programs and it would take me 8-9 months to lose 20-30 lbs and now I've done it in less than 30 days! I'm so flabberghasted! :) I see my surgeon this week for my 1 month follow up and I am soo excited to show him my progress and talk about whats the next level. I want to be cleared to do more exercise....never thought in a million years I'd be excited to exercise more and harder! Thank you Stevie Sleevie, you have made my life worth living again! NO more wallflower sitting around wishing her life away! I'm gonna make things happen now!
