Magic Day 5

Feb 26, 2012

So I thought I felt pretty good yesterday, until I woke up this morning!!! All gas pains are gone, muscle soreness gone. Tender at the incision sites, but that is to be expected. I even walked around Walmart yesterday for 2 hours catching up on grocery shopping. Someone should tell them to hold some of that clearance stuff for after I've lost some weight. I've got enough clothes between size 16 and 26 from the last attempt to lose weight, and I REFUSE to buy more clothes-especially at full price- until I've lost down to a 14/16. Have I ever mentioned I haven't seen size 14 since high school?

For a while I contemplated having some plastic work done after I hit my goal or within 20 of it......not so sure anymore. I hate the feeling after waking up from anesthesia (loved waking up though-Praise God!) and I don't like being uncomfortable during the healing phase. If I could go in for a breast lift and body lift and wake up feelling fabulous or with minimal discomfort(very much like day 5) I'd jump on it, but unfortunately with all surgery there's side effects.

For me cosmetic surgery would be solely to make me feel better and like the way I look and give hubby something nice to look at. Ultimately the rest of the world will get to see the wonders of spanx, control top panty hose and a fantastic fitting bra :)

Each day I've made a goal to get more water in than the day before. Day 1 at home I only got in 29 oz(I think I was scared of hurting myself, and I slept a lot). Day 2 got 36 in and Day 3 got 59! This is also not counting what I've sipped on in the middle of the night when I woke up to roll over. so far today is 39 and the day is still young.

I'm enjoying the look of shock when I explain my sleeve procedure to people. I've sat and watched my family eat some of my favorite foods and went to a church potluck all since my surgery and have not felt tempted, deprived, or hungry. So different to experience this!!

Some people name their sleeve.....I'm contemplating Pooh- Pooh has a grumbly in his tummy and My tummy is always grumbly/rumbly :)
