Ponderings for a Thursday...
Here are some of my random thoughts and observations...
1) It's definitely fall - at least from my head. I think molting season is here and I'm beginning to lose some of my hair. There are lotsa little buggers that I've never noticed before. But I can't really tell by looking at my hair thank goodness! It's all still worth it!
2) I bought new clothes after surgery that are too big now. I guess I never really believed that this would be the "diet" that worked for me and I would really fit in to smaller sizes. I'm so happy to be wrong!!!
3) In a few pounds, my BMI will be under 40 and I will be only obese - not super obese or whatever dang thang they call it!
4) I carry a lot of weight in my belly! Ick! I used to think about how it was sticking out all the time. And while I have a long way to go, it doesn't stick out as far now and I don't think about it nearly as often as I used to. What a pleasure to be relieved of that burden!
5) I find that now I have to think more about what I'm eating or if I'm going to have a snack. I am actually starting to push fluids when I think I'm hungry to make sure it's not thirst instead of hunger. This isn't a bad thing. It's just that the initial surgery stuff has worn off and I have to think a little more. But this is the process that will get me to goal or somewhere in that neighborhood!
and one last one,
6) I'm addicted to crossing my legs! Partly because it's comfortable and party because I CAN NOW!!! Now that's an NSV!!!
Love to all if you got this far!

OMG WHEN I GOT TO THE ONE ABOUT CROSSING YOUR LEGS I HAD TO TRY IT AND GUESS WHAT? I CAN DO IT TOO!! WOO HOO!! I FIND MYSELF LOOKING AT MY BOOBS MORE NOW BECAUSE THEY ACTUALLY STICK OUT FARTHER THAN MY BELLY DOES NOW AND THAT IS A WONDERFUL FEELING. OF COURSE THEY ONLY DO THAT WHEN THEY ARE TRUSSED UP AND STANDING AT ATTENTION BUT HEY I'LL TAKE WHATEVER I CAN GET!!

Kim,
Congratulations on all the changes! (except the hair thing, I mean - sorry to hear about that) It's easy for me to see how much you have changed since May.
Just wanted to say - be careful crossing your legs! My Dr. and I have decided that this is how I wrenched my sacroiliac. I kept crossing and uncrossing my legs and trying to sit differently to relieve some of the pressure off my now less padded derriere...
So just be careful if you're crossing them differently than before.
Have a geat afternoon!

I'm feeling like it's fall also. My hair is coming out with rage and I had thin hair on top before. It upsets me some but the trade off is worth it. My hair will grow back, the pounds are gone FOREVER!
It's awesome that your after surgery clothes are too big. I had a suit that my son gave me and the jacket is going to be too big when it cools off. I think the pants will be fine. That's one thing I will most definately have altered. He was so proud of himself when he purchased it and I didn't have the heart to tell h im "Mom's too big to wear it"!! It's still very stylish and I'm looking forward to getting to wear it and show him now. At leat we're not on a "diet" and it is working for so many of us. Yippee for your BMI being under 40. When I see you I see a beautiful lady with a lot of *****never noticed your belly!! so there... It is a good thing that we have to think about what we are eating. We always have but in a negative way all the time.
NSV for crossing your leggs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't wait for that myself.
This is the ride of my life.....what an amazing tool I now have!!!
1) It's definitely fall - at least from my head. I think molting season is here and I'm beginning to lose some of my hair. There are lotsa little buggers that I've never noticed before. But I can't really tell by looking at my hair thank goodness! It's all still worth it! ** can totally feel your pain here... lost hair, myself after WLS. At least, as you said, you can't tell by looking. And you do look great!
2) I bought new clothes after surgery that are too big now. I guess I never really believed that this would be the "diet" that worked for me and I would really fit in to smaller sizes. I'm so happy to be wrong!!! ** You should have believed this would be the "diet" that finally worked, girl~ You are losing and doing great in the process. All it takes is believing in yourself and your new tool. You had a great surgeon and now a great new tummy... You are on the path to success!
3) In a few pounds, my BMI will be under 40 and I will be only obese - not super obese or whatever dang thang they call it! ** You will no longer be morbidly obese, just obese lol. And I prefer to refer to it as the road to normal lol. I used to live in denial of the word obese, period lol.
4) I carry a lot of weight in my belly! Ick! I used to think about how it was sticking out all the time. And while I have a long way to go, it doesn't stick out as far now and I don't think about it nearly as often as I used to. What a pleasure to be relieved of that burden! ** That is good that you are noticing where the weight is coming off at... I am a pear (big time), it was harder to see it for a while.
5) I find that now I have to think more about what I'm eating or if I'm going to have a snack. I am actually starting to push fluids when I think I'm hungry to make sure it's not thirst instead of hunger. This isn't a bad thing. It's just that the initial surgery stuff has worn off and I have to think a little more. But this is the process that will get me to goal or somewhere in that neighborhood! ** Pushing fluids is good, but make sure you're getting in enough calories too. That's the mother hen who got really, really sick in me talking... sorry. I just try to watch out for everyone. I don't ever want to see anyone end up as sick as I did ever. I know you wouldn't. And I know you're gonna reach goal soon!

6) I'm addicted to crossing my legs! Partly because it's comfortable and party because I CAN NOW!!! Now that's an NSV!!! ** Crossing legs is fun!
