My Tueday
Hi gang...
Yes, I know it is Wednesday, but I just didn't have it in me to post last night. I work midnights on Sun's and Mon's, getting off at 8 am.
Well, Tuesday am, my sister met me at work and we had 'breakfast' at the office with my co-workers. Then we went to our pcp's office and weighed. I lost 6 lbs (in 11 days) for a post op total of 97. SOooooo close to the big century mark!!. (sis gained 4 )
THEN we went shopping. I have only purchased 2 pairs of pants since WLS and my shirts are hanging like burlap bags. I couldn't take it anymore. So to goodwill we went. Found 3 very nice, very 'feminine' shirts. (most of my shirts are mens pullovers, polos, henleys etc). Then to Walmart. Found 2 very nice shirts. One is a button down. Shirt sizes vary with type of material and style but they are all MUCH smaller than before. I has doing the happy !!
The tears came when I was able to put on a pair of real denim, button and zip, off the shelf, jeans, AND THEY FIT!!
Of course, I bought them, even though they weren't on my 'list'
Being able to buy jeans off the shelf, was an even bigger WOW than being able to take a bath and have water on both sides. Did that a few days ago. Was even able to shave my legs without being a contortionist, or drowning!!
It really is the small things,isn't it!
So my Tuesday ended with coming home and trying on all my new clothes, again. I think it was a disbelief kind of thing. Then I went to bed and 'passed out', after being up all night and all day (til about 6pm).
My only disappointment is that I didn't get my walk in.
big hugs to all

Brightest Blessings for a Wonderful Day~
