I'm baaaaaaaaaaaaack....

Jun 29, 2010

and I am feeling much, much better!  Wow, what a difference a little support makes, huh?  Thank you all for your kind words of encouragement.  I still have a lot of issues to work out, but I am so glad I got over that last hump!

So, I had my doctors appointment today and......drumroll please......since the 8th of June, I have lost a total of 31 lbs!  I had lost 12 on my pre-op diet, and I have lost 19 lbs (!) since sugery on the 17th!  WHOOO-FREAKIN-HOOOO!!!!  I am sure some of the other patients at the surgery center thought I was off my rocker this morning when the nurse weighed me in.  It was probably quite a sight, now that I think about it.  Here's this fat girl, getting up on the scale, actually giving a fist pump YES!, and then getting off, and getting back on the scale again, and then saying WHOOHOO! (there may or may not have been another fist pump or two involved...and if I could have run around the nurses desk high fiving everyone, I would have.  I didn't think that would be appropriate...yet..)  I would have laughed, anyway...

So, in other good news, I have been cleared for pretty much everything!  I can start doing water aerobics, which I am excited about!   I can also start to eat food again!!  The doctor said I can pretty much have anything, I just need to make sure that it is REALLY chewed well, and if I feel that I am not chewing it well enough, then I can still puree it.   I can't wait to have dinner tonight!  I told him I had broken down and had some cottage cheese and some scrambled eggs, and he told me that was fine, and that I had made healthy decisions with what I had chosen.  So, onward and upward.  My new goal for the rest of my life is now going to be about quality, not quantity. 

I am probably still riding the hormone train, but I am so happy right now I feel like doing a fat girl jig all over my house, complete with belly jiggles, thigh wobbles, and arm waddles...this was absolutely, besides marrying my husband and having my kids, the best decision I have ever made in my entire life.

Loves to you all!
Kylie
