What a Wonderful Day

Aug 01, 2014

Am so happy today! While I did not lose weight this week, I took my measurement for the first time since I started my pre-op diet. What a shock that was! And was I ever pleased. I have lost 2 inches off my waist, 4 inches off my chest, and 7 inches off my hips. Yes, 7 inches off my hips! Wow!! I feel so much better. Was able to get into a pair of jean shorts that I haven't been able to wear for a year. Mom was here as we were going into town and she told me how wonderful I looked. While I thanked her for the compliment, my brain was saying "for a fat woman" until I walked in front of my full length mirror. I had to stop, back up, and look. It was then that I realized the weight loss was noticeable and I really did look good in my outfit. I was walking on cloud nine!

Today brought another pleasant situation. It was the first day in almost 2 weeks that I haven't had nausea and vomiting. I did not take the medication that I suspected was causing the problem. I have felt good; ate my meals; drank my fluids; and had no problems. It has just been an upbeat day. Even had my niece stop by for a visit. We have always been close even to the point of taking multiple vacations together. Things are definitely starting to look better and I am starting to feel like I am on top of the world. Thanks to all who were so supportive and let me vent during my difficult time. It is people like you that make this world a better place.
