Surprise!

I went to the mall yesterday and there's a shop there that's closing....just like 90% of the stores in our mall....anyway they are kinda like Ross in that they get close out clothing from other stores.  Everything was 80% off, so I picked out two sweaters and two pairs of pants...bought the pants a size smaller than I am wearing, thinking I'd have them when I need them.  Hehehehe I tried them on when I got home...they fit!  Woohoo!  I have only lost 11 lbs. since surgery, but I guess the pre-surgery weight loss combined with that 11 lbs. have already reshaped me!  I like those kinds of surprises!  By the way....I spent $15.00 on $73 worth of clothing!  

You all have a great day!

Hugs,
Marsha

Congratulations on the bargains and the "fit," Marsha. Keep up the good work.

That's awesome Marsha!  I love finding the bargains and especially when they are smaller and FIT!!!  Don't get to fond of them though because in a few or couple of weeks they will be too large as well!  I love changing sizes but it's so expensive...thus the bargain shopping!!!  Are you still feeling better?

Wonderful news Marsha.. Congratulations, I love finding bargains like that.. You keep it up..

How are you feeling today, has you pain eased up any?

Hoping your feeling much better,

Sheila

congrats to you lady!  You are doing a wonderful job with your weighloss and your shopping!

Hey guys!  I am feeling much better today, thanks for asking.  I am tender on my left side, but not hurting like I did yesterday.  I think Rita is right and it's scar tissue forming.  I just have horrible indigestion all time time.  I can hardly even drink three sips of water before I feel like I'm going to explode.  Do you all feel the same way?  At first liquids went down easily, but they're even starting to make me uncomfortable if I take more than an itty bitty sip.

I love to shop, when there are bargains to be found.  I just don't like to pay the high prices of most retail stores.  Like anyone does, huh? 

My water aerobics class starts back tomorrow night, so maybe that exercise will pull the weight off of me faster.  I hate being a slow loser.  LOL  If I'm going to be a loser, I want it to happen quickly!  LOL

Hugs,
Marsha

Marsha congrats!!!
Are you allowed to be in water like that so soon after surgery?
I was told no soaking or swimming for six weeks after surgery.....

Thanks Pattye!  I asked Dr. Walton, the day I was released from the hospital, when I could start swimming again.  He told me two weeks.  I was surprised when he said that, but he said as soon as my incisions were healed, and they are all healed. 

Hugs,

Just call me a scardy cat. I have had to many complications to risk it. Plus to get into a public pool would really skare me....

I know, that scared me too, but you know what....the plastic surgeon that did my panniculectomy told me after I had that surgery and was sliced open from hip to hip.  I asked him how long I would be out of the pool and a week and a half later he told me I could go then.  I looked at him like he was crazy....he said, "What?  Tha****er is cleaner than your shower water."  Well you think about all the chemicals that are in there...and this pool is at a university...so not really public...everyone who uses it has to sign up for a class....and the chemicals are check regularly...so I trust it.  However, I did go one time about 2 weeks after my surgery, and didn't go back for about 6 weeks because it hurt too badly.
