Celebrating some little things. . .

Okay. . .on Monday I'm going to be seeing the surgeon, the first time since the surgery. I am as of last Monday 32 lbs lighter than when I walked into the hospital. What things have changed for me. . . 1. I went down a pant size and 2 panty sizes. 2. I lowered the steering wheel on the van and it doesn't rub my belly when I drive. 3. I slid into the booth seat at the restaurant we had breakfast at this morning. 4. I fit in the chairs the waiting customers sit in at the hair salon. 5. My fingers are slimmer, because my wedding band comes off easier. . .but don't worry I put it back on right away. 6. I can walk up and down the steps to my house without holding onto the banister to pull myself up. 7. I can reach my feet to tie my tennis shoes. 8. I am sleeping easier now that the fat in my neck is slimming down. 9. I have cheek bones!!!! 10. I only have ONE chin!!!!

That is so awesome! Way to go!

Way to go Deanna! And to think the fun is just beginning! I felt on top of the world after my first month when I lost just 25 pounds. But it's nothing to the elation you'll have as the pounds continue to melt away. Keep up the good work.

Thanks. I am so looking forward to more things to come.

OMG girl and this is just the beginning!! You will have so much more to celebrate!! Yesterday I was asked by a girl at Papa Murphys why I wasnted extra extra cheese.. I told her I can only eat the topping off a pc of pizza because I cant eat the crust and the cheese is added protien I need.. any way we went on to discus the surgery and she asked if I keep pants and compare them,... I said actually no I keep panties... and that is funnier!!! to hold up the original once as oppsed to the ones I wear now.. then I just give thanks ...Thank God for WLS!!! Linda

I am going hunting for a new Christmas dress. Usually I have it by now, but I want to wait and see what size I am just before I buy it. I am so looking forward to all the other changes. . .I want them all NOW!!! LOL... Patience and I aren't friends. . . I lack it a lot.

You rock!!! I love to read about all this great stuff! It just makes me so motivated. Thanks so much for sharing, Carmen

Great job Deanne!! It only gets better from here! Sam

I am sooooo looking forward to more. I had my one month visit, well, it was more like a 3 1/2 week visit, one month is officially Friday. . .but I'm down another 5 lbs, from my heaviest which was 403, 3 days before the surgery!!!! So I'm now down 37 lbs!!!!!
