Luncheon
Well, today I had a luncheon and I thought I would have a problem. The choices were chicken salad on a croissant, salmon (which I hate!) and filet. I was told not to have red meet for another month or two, so I opted for the chicken salad. I did NOT eat the croissant, or pasta salad that came with it. Instead, I picked out the chicken and ate the fruit salad. I even avoided the pre-meal rolls which are, indeed, my favorite! Anyway, at the end of lunch, they gave out door prizes. I won a sweatshirt (and yes, it as cold enough to wear it today!) with our school mascot and logo embroidered on it. I didn't think much about it and just put it on as I was FREEZING! When I took it off later, I looked at the tag and it was a Large! Not a 2X, not a 1X, but a LARGE! I haven't been that small since before my children were born. We're talking 10+ years ago. I realized at that moment that the roll (let's face it...rolls) I would have normally eaten would be able to touch how great I felt when I saw that single "L" in the label.

That is AWESOME!!! And what a great feeling! I had that feeling last week when I went clothes shopping, because everything I own is falling off. I tried on a pair of jeans , size XL...too big..sent hubby out to get a L...too big..I can wear a 14 now. I have NEVER had to go back to the rack for something SMALLER! I love clothes shopping now!
I am glad you made such great choices at the luncheon. Proud of you! I hope I can do as well in April at a spaghetti benefit for a friend's son! Not 4 months from surgery by then so I can not have pasta yet. I guess I will have the sauce and pretend it is chili ...and I think I can have salad..we shall see!

You can do it! From what I can tell, you seem very motivated and determined. I'm interested in your post-surgery diet. After 2 weeks, I was given freedom to gradually add things into my diet. The only exception was pork and red meat which I can't have until 2-3 months out. Salad was certainly on the after 3 week menu. What are your restrictions?
