Where does the time go?

Feb 08, 2009

It is hard to believe that I am nearly two months post-op!  When I went to the doctor last week, I had lost 42 pounds since weighing in on November 25.  I am greedy and wish it were more, that is only 27 pounds for two months.  I had counted on that for one month.

I am not having any problems with eating for the most part.  I am pretty sure I cannot eat most fried foods.  I got sick on fried fish but that didn't stop me from trying fried okra tonight, and guess what, it made me sick!

My biggest complaint is missing my diet cokes and Mobic arthritis medicine.  I have had a couple of diet cokes but just finished the last one yesterday and will not be bringing any more into the house.

One thing I was not prepared for is how the people I work with act.  Those that I know well, know the story; others ask me if I am losing weight, how much weight have you lost? The best one was when one gal asked me if I had a boob job.  I'm not sure if she thought I had them reduced or enlarged and did not want to continue that conversation.  Last night my husband and I were at Menard's and a former high school classmate asked me if I had lost weight and I thanked him for noticing, that didn't bother me at all.  I can't figure out why some people make me so uncomfortable when they ask.

I guess if I were buying new clothes, they might be a size 18-20.  Since I am trying to make do, I only have a couple of pieces in that category.  I have a dress in a size 1X that I hope to wear to my son's Army boot camp graduation on February 26, wish me luck!
