Tuesday Roll Call
Hi everyone,
Hubby made it through surgery just fine. Today is caring for him. I'm going to slowly move all those boxes downstairs that I have been asking him to do. His son is coming to visit on Friday so that room needs to be cleaned out. I want to make an appointment this week to get our will updated and taxes done. Other than that, no other plans.
What are you up to?

Clueless about weight loss and weight loss surgery of any kind.
Glad to hear your husband's surgery went well! I hope his recovery is an easy one.
I spent the day shopping for beads with a friend. She's pre-op for lapband so we also went to a support group her nutritionist recommended at Wake Med in Cary. It was a very interesting meeting. The guest speaker was actually the psychologist I went to for my psych eval! His presentation was on body image and it couldn't have come at a better time for me. My head has not caught up with my body so I still struggle thinking I'm larger than I am. It happened to me today at a consignment shop. The clerk told me she had just marked down some XS and S items in the back if I was interested and showed me where they were. My initial thought was "who the hell are you talking to? I won't fit in that!" Luckily I kept it to myself. And I did walk out with a 100% cashmere sweater, size small for $20!
But back to the psychologist. I posed my question to him about when my head would catch up to the weight loss. He said it generally takes anywhere from 18 months to 3 years for you to see yourself as you are. He did say that the more you look at yourself in the mirror, the more your brain starts to see itself at the new weight. Interesting, huh?
