Shopping

I decided to go shopping yesturday for a few new outfits since my pants are getting a little big on me. Well.......i couldnt believe it but when i tried on some tops, i fit in a regular size L......not XL not XLL but L....and they were cheaper clothes so usually they run smaller..Ha. Then i tried on some pants.......M!!!!!! A Medium was a little big on me. OMG. So even though the scale is being tempermental and not wanting to move to much right now i see that i am loosing in inches. Just wanted to share that. I was really feeling a little discouraged with the slow down of the scale but i feel much better now.

SO glad you went to try on clothes thats the best motivator there is. I believe in your other post i was saying that.....when we are not looseing the actual pounds on the scale the INCHES are melting off. IN some ways the inches are better their the visual! CONGRATULATONS lisa

OOPS sorry it was another thread that i had replies about that but glad you learned for yourself. YOUR doing wonderful and just let your tool do its thing you will loose! TAKE CARE, and by the way, did u buy the clothes or just tried on??? DONT forget we will all want pics soon! LISA 310/189/???

LisaMarie, YEAH.....I know it feels awesome right? Congrats on that hun... I also can not believe that I am in a regular L or XL....WOW I look at them and say "wow they will never fit me" but guess what I try them on and they fit.. Take care hun and thanks for sharing with us... You are doing awesome.. Debra P

Thanks Debra!!

Hi Lisa, Wow you can really see the weight loss in your new pic, congrats! Looking good! Don't go and buy too many new clothes b/c you will grow out of them soon enough and be joining me in the XXS! Hee-Hee. You'll see! I am telling you, you are going to be small like me. Nevermind the scale, if the iches are coming off the scale will soon enough catch up! Take care! Tavia

Hi Tavia how are you?? I hope i am small like you!!! Thanks.....You guys are always so supportive! LisaMarie PS how did the little guy do with Santa??

I am pretty sure you are going to get really small, I mean you are built smaller than me! Well, my electrolytes are messed up once again and I am taking a lot of RX to get them back up. My PCP will not clear me for surgery, which is understandable. My potassium is the worst of them all, which is no good. The liquid potassium is just so nasty to swallow but I have to do what I have to do...at least its better than the drip verison. I did make this "pudding" of bananna and ricotta cheese w/a dash of splenda and milk in this thing like the magic bullet and its really yummy. My son and I fight to eat it, hee-hee. I am tried the low-acid OJ and it still burns my tummy so I'm trying other stuff. Anyway I am seeing the PCP on the 4th and then the surgeon on the 6th. My PCP said if my blood work isnt improved a lot, he is going to put me in the hospital on some drips and feeding tube, (yuck) to get me into surgery sooner. He says he totally doesnt want to put me in the hospital but thats the last option. We are trying the RX pills and me eating(what I can) non-stop to hopefully get the blood work better. I went to the movies w/my son early this afteroon but we couldnt stay. I think we sat there for like 10 minutes and I got really really light-headed and dizzy. I just so didnt want to faint in the middle of the movies w/my son there! Ugh, its like a day to day battle for me. It's seems to becoming a race against time for me nowadays. I am pretty sure this is going to end for me soon and look forward to it! Take care. Tavia

Tavia i am so sorry this has been so hard for you.....I really wish i could say something or do something but i cant. You need to have that surgery!!!! Just think of all the movies and everything you will be able to do with the little guy just as soon as the surgery is over. Just take it easy and take care of yourself like you have been doing. The little guy will understand! You are someone everyone on here can look up to. You are strong and always think of others on here.......Hang in there..Im here for you. LisaMarie
