Im wearing jeans today

Just so excited. I am not hurting much at all today. Already seeing a real difference on the scale, I was 288 on the 11th, today I am 278. My incisions are doing well, and...Im wearing PaNTS. This is exciting to me, humor me. :) 

Woohoo   doesnt it feel great!!!  I   was so excited when i could wear  zip up and button jeans.

You are doing  great  !!!!Keeep up the great work!!!!

I know how you feel.

I'm such a scale **** now! I still can't believe the weight is falling off me!

Glad to hear you are doing great! :-)

Congrats on your progress!!!!!    Best wishes for you...

I am truly shocked at the quick recovery. The pain is extremely minimal, I havent had a pain med even tylenol since overnight friday. Gas pains are about it. I will be honest, Friday was tough. IV infiltrations, repeated attempts to get a new one in, headaches, homesickeness, and a crappy bed/pillow (BRING YOUR OWN PILLOW) made me miserable, my stomach was bloated and yucky, and I was constantly interrupted when I tried to sleep. Part of me regretted it that day. But since saturday morning on, it has been nothing but easy. One episode of the munchies, which for some reason tomato soup cured (??) and that was it. still working on getting the protein into myself, but no problems hydrating and taking vitamins. No nausea, even. Im really really surprised. I know I have a long way to go before I am "there" but barring any craziness, I think I can safely say I made it over this hurdle. On to the next.

Good for you!!!!!  Where did you have your surgery?  I am going to Lewiston.  Have to go there Friday to see the Dietician...it is a 3 1/2 hr. ride for me, but I know it will be worth it when I am at the stage you have made it to!  Good luck to you,and continued success!!!!

Oh you give me such hope and positive feeling!   I have 16 days until my surgery and  am getting a little nervous.  I love reading posts like yours.  Congratulations  Keep up the good work.   Someday I will figure out how to resize my photo to put it with my posts.   Be well!

my surgery was 4 days ago, May 20th. I went to work today, did a teeny bit of grocery shopping, even made a pot of beans. So far so good.
Brenda, if you want help resizing, you can email me your pic and I can get it done for you. [email protected] I had to try 4-5 times to get mine right, too.
