Victories to report!

So, there are a few, and I thought I would share. 

At 5 weeks out, including my pre-op 2 wks (so 7 wks total), I am down 37 lbs.... Not a lot, I know, and I would like it to be more, BUT, I was answering a question yesterday and realized that that's 25% of my desired weight loss.  So that's #1 -- 25%.

#2 -- I am wearing size 24 and 22 pants I found in my wardrobe -- and they fit!

#3 -- For the first time in a while, I walked by a mirror the other day and realized that my breasts stick out further than my BELLY!  Yay!

#4 -- Someone at work told me I looked pretty.... I know it's small, but it felt awesome!

#5 -- My scars are actually healing, infection resolved.  Yay!

That's all for now.  I just thought I would give back a little enthusiasm!

congratrs!!! you are doing great job!!!!!!!!!!!. 37 lbs its awesome!!!!!!!!!.
good luck!!
hugs

Becca, Mariana, thanks!

I feel great about them.  And when you put them all together, I feel better than great.  Bad things are happening at work, but I just keep feeling so HAPPY.  It's a little insane!

Oh but it's NOT insane...it's HAPPINESS!!

It's hard to let things at work phase you when you feel like you're floating!

My co-workers tell me it was like I had a personality bypass too...I used to just be so unhappy...always. I had no patience and was just completely miserable!

Now I can look at things and just walk away...It's not worth stressing or getting upset...I can only control ME...and loving the body I'm in was my biggest hurdle...WLS has given me control of me... and everyone else needs to find their own path...
CONGRATS!!!
