my first wow moment!!!

Last night about 5:00 some friends called and wanted to meet us for dinner at a local Mexican restaurant. I did not want to wear my sweat pants so I thought I would try on my jeans...oh my gosh they were so loose. I was just shocked, I am not even 2 weeks post-op. I made through while everyone was eating chips and hot sauce and all the good stuff that goes with a Mexican restaurant. I was surprised that none of it bothered me. I know one day I will be able to have a taste of that stuff again. JC

That is really fantastic. Isn't it nice to try on something and discover that it is loose?! One day you will be able to eat the chips, of course, more than a couple and you have to take dinner home in a box....LOL. Oh, wait, I do that anyway............. that's nice too........lunch for tomorrow. Good luck, and keep up the good work! natalie

Hi Natalie, I am looking forward to the day that I can eat some chips, but right now I am ok with my liquid diet. I know that day will be here. That is the first time I went to a Mexican restaurant and didn't leave feeling miserable...go figure. Jc

You will be surprise at how much not eating when you go somewhere doesn't bother you. There have been many times we have went to a restaurant and I have not ordered a thing. And it doesn't bother me one bit. If they don't have a side item I want I just don't eat. Or I get a couple of bites of the hubbies and I'm fine. Even now three months later I can only eat half of a hamburger patty and I'm stuffed. I love it, I know that sounds odd but I love not being able to eat. I love the way my body is changing I love the fact that I'm smaller now than when I met my husband, I love everything about my life now. Sorry I'm rambling, I hope you feel the same in a few months is all I'm trying to say. It is wonderful to be happy with yourself. Keep up the good work. Tina 336/253/145

Hi Tina, I have been amazed at the fact that I don't want to eat. It is such a feeling that I can't explain. A friend asked me the other day if I felt hungry, full just how I felt and I told her I just don't don't know how to answer. My gosh I loved food and now it is no big deal. I am still on liquids and it just does not bother me. Never thought this would happen. You are doing so good. Take care, JC
