Vacation update!
Hey friends!
Just got back from the beach with my family. Wow--vacationing at Minus 75 pounds is WONDERFUL!!! For the first time, I didn't feel like the biggest person in a swimsuit. I didn't hide under a cover-up the whole time, either! I didn't even wear a swimsuit with the little skirt!!!! I worked out in the gym almost every day instead of pigging out all day long. When I did eat, I chose healthy stuff--not the fried seafood platters.
The best part was the fun I had. I took a latin dance lesson at the resort with my hubby---and he DIPPED me! My parents were there also-and my father told me it made him feel so good to see me dancing around with my eyes shiny and my smile bright. Almost made me cry! haha I also went to kareoke (sp?!) night and GOT UP AND SANG with my sister. My family about fell out of their chairs as this is so unlike the old me. I had a blast!
Oh---another biggie for me.....Just before our trip, I had to visit my ### for a sinus inf. He had told me prior to my surgery that he had a friend considering WLS. At my visit with him the other day, I inquired about his friend. My ### looked at me puzzled for a moment-then his face lit up. He said "Oh goodness---you're my WLS patient, aren't you?" (i'm the first one he's had) Then came the words I'll be hanging onto for a while. He said "I didn't even recognize you!!!!" WOOOO HOOOO. I was the happiest sick person in his office that day!!
Hope you all have a wonderful day!
