Topic: RE: WOOOWSER MOMENTS!!!
Wow! You never ever cease to amaze me. I love hearing about everyone's experiences. I too, had to go and finally get my wedding band resized. It was originally a 10.5, which is the same size as my hubby's. Well, I was getting a calous on my hand from the stupid plastic ring sizer thingy, so I finally gave in, spent the $24.99 and had it done. OMG.....It's now a size 8. A bit snug, but I know that with the 40lbs left to lose, I might have to have it done again. WOW. what a feeling.

Topic: WOOOWSER MOMENTS!!!
1. Today after our Homeschool kick off thing I took Joshua to lunch at Blimpies. Not only did we GO IN to eat we sat at a BOOTH!!! I didn't even have to squeeeze in or nothing. There was a good 6 inches between me and the table!!! Last time I ate out was when Joshua was just a couple months old. He was even still on Oxygen so I am guess 3 or so months old. He is going to be 7 in a week if that tells you how long ago it was that I not only ate at a restaurant but sat in a BOOTH to boot! I was so excited and proud of myself I had to take a picture of the booth LOL. Well Joshua sitting in the booth but you can still tell its a dang booth!
2. Second YIPPIE moment was that yesterday at the store I bought size 38 jeans ( mens wranglers, as I don't like how womens jeans fit ) but didn't have a change to try them on ( or wash them for that matter lol ) so I didn't wear them today. My 40's are falling off of me and I finally figured that since hubby and I are racing down the same sizes these days, I would spend the cash and buy a smaller size. (Incentive for him too *Grin*). Anyways I just got to try them on a little bit ago and not only did they fit but they were not even tight!!! In womens sizes a 38 = some where between 16/18 ( 17 actually but they dont make a womens 17 lol ). YAAAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEE SOOO freaking exciting.
3. I also bought new shoes. Size 7. I probably could have gotten a 6 1/2 but the 7's were comfortable. I started out at my highest in a 10 1/2!! I did have a ****** moment on that though as I paid TWICE as much for Joshua's new shoes as my new ones. WHAT is up with the crazy cost of kids clothes and shoes????
4. I cant wear my new ring anymore. Its TOOOOOOO BIGGGGGG!!! Its an 8 and falls right off over my knuckle now ( down from an 10). Ahhh shucks I will just have to get a new one *grin* Size 7 here I come!!
5. I guy held the door open for me. lol Joshua and I popped over to have lunch with Dale and this young guy and I got to the door at the same time. NOW the last time I was there was 3 years ago and 200lbs ago. Since guys are in and out all the time I ended up at the door last time at the same time as some guy and he opened the door and walked right in basically almost shoving me out of the way ( not really smart when your running the wife over of the guy you are about to make you a deal on parts with). So that was the last time I was at Dale's work and that is what happened to me the last time. This time the guy not only opened it but smiled at me and said your welcome ( to my thanking him for opening the door). How freaking cool is that lmaoo Dale saw it all happen and asked "stop grinning like that, I will think I have something to worry about" lmaoo Of course he doesn't but was so super nice to not be a freak anymore.
What a great day!! Just had to share.

Well, I was supposed to have my consultation with the PS today. I rescheduled and not really sure why. I chickened out! My hubby isn't fond of the whole idea so maybe its guilt. In any case, my appointment is now for next Wed. The problem is, I plan on going back to work next week and I will have to leave early for this appointment. I also canceled my appointment with the pain management doctor today. What is wrong with me???? In all seriousness I do think I am going through some type of depression. On a better note, I got a haircut today! Nothing else planned for the rest of they day.
Felicia, hope you had a great homeschool kickoff.
Holly, I am thinking and praying for you.
Dawn, I hope you enjoy your bike today. How do you tie dye?
Patricia, enjoy the night! Walk-in hair dressers should be fine for a quick trim.
Tabby, I want your job too!!! LOL I hope you were able to get some rest today.
Come to think of it out farmers market is today too! I won't be going though, can't walk too far yet without pain.
Take care

Hey Holly! I gotta say yesterday was definitel a test! I had a rough go of it! Didn't realize how much I had taken up snacking!!! It was an eye opener for sure! I have been reading a lot about how after this surgery we tend to get in ruts of eatting basically the same things over and over! Studies seem to show that our bodies adjust to it and therefore we go in those crazy stalls. But it shows that by unsettling our system for even one day that we can give ourselves a kick in the buttatta and restart our process. I hope this holds true for me!!! But the liquid part for 2 days is definitely not a walk in the park! I don't know that I really had hunger! I had 4 protein drinks and 5 bottles of water, as well as, 2 glasses of crystal light yesterday. So far today I have had 2 bottles of water and a protein drink. I am walking back over to my office in a couple of minutes and make another protein drink. I will then drink a water around 1:30 and 4pm and then at 5:30 another protein drink. I figure another bottle of water around 7 and maybe another crystal light before bed.
Tomorrow I start soft foods. That's the stage I am at pretty much most of the time. I am going to try to go on to the next stage after that maybe I will stretch those out a lil too! Not hungry yet though!
Thanks for asking

Congratulations on the 2 pounds!! Isn't it amazing how excited we get over 2 pounds?? Just one question, how do you feel just doing liquids? Does your body let you know you are hungry?
