9/29/11 6 Weeks Post Op

Sep 29, 2011

Wow a lot can happen in six weeks!!!  My computer has been on the fritz lately, as well as my phone, so no updates in a while!  But, I went to my 6 week post op appt yesterday and it was marvelous!  I was down to 205!  My friend came over tonight and did my measurements and Ive lots of inches!  The best part about it, was getting off my liquid diet!!! YAYAYAYAY!!  I still don't get hungry, but I do find that everything taste so sweet to me and I was living off of instant mashed potatoes as my mainstay for the last couple of weeks.  The first bite of solid food I had was a Ritz cracker!  It was the best one I have ever tasted.  I think it was more the crunch than anything.  I have decided that those can only come out every now and then, or I could one cracker myself into my size 22 pants again!!!  When I was at my appt, they told me about a product called BariWare.com, so I ordered a set.  It is portion control sized dish, well I should say dishes, there are two of them, but they are connected in a tray.  I am a gadget queen, so I had to order them!  But they are just on pre-order now, and the shipping cost is ridiculous, but I got them anyway, figured it would be worth it, as I have been looking for something like that and have not been able to find anything that was that perfect for me.  I got my little card that I can show to restaurants so I can get a reduced size meal.  I have started going to a body sculpting class once a week and I love it!  I have bought a couple of new items of clothing, because mine are getting very limited.  I have been working on weeding out my closet the last couple of days, I am having to emotionally detatch myself from some of my clothes.... Crazy how we can get comfortable in our clothes and not really want to change some of them.  I am in between sizes at the moment and am looking forward to buying more as time goes on, but I just dont want to buy to many in this size, because it would be a waste of money.  So I am trying to mix and match and make it look like I have more than a few outfits.  I did buy one shirt that was still just a tiggy small for me, but I liked it so it is waiting for me on further down on the losers bench.    I have decided that clothing lines should be ashamed of themselves!  Why in the world is there not a universal clothing size!  It is crazy that I can fit into some 11/12 brands and 16/18s of other brands.  But it really doesn't matter what size it is, I am just having fun trying stuff on, even if its tight and not the most attractive as of yet, it is fun knowing that in July I was in a 22 size pants and any size 11/12 14/16 was not going to go past my thighs and now I can button all of them up!!!!  I am usuing caution and just trying them on, like I said, I don't want to buy a bunch just to have to get rid of something else!!!  All is going well otherwise, except for Murphy and his laws seem to be hanging out with me lately.  Just to name a few top ones and some may have already been mentioned previously, cant remember when I wrote last, but two blown out tires, Jeremy backed into a tree, and came home to a rattlesnake on my front sidewalk after my walk last night!!!  So if anyone else has a vacation spot for Murphy, please send me the info and I'll send him!  I would suggest that you don't make it your own address!!!  LOL  I am so sleepy I need to get sign off.  I almost did't sign in, because I can literally spend hours on this site reading and absorbing, but it is midnight and I must stay on schedule, or I become a night owl and sleep all day!!!  Hope everyone is doing well!
