Major excitement today and very unexpected. Nick and I went to Lands End at Sears to do a return and I just happened to see this beautiful chocolate brown vest with pink trim...for fall outerwear. I was laughing to Nick saying i cant believe this stuff is out already. So just for kicks i decided to try it on- thinking- well this is the NORMAL people section, so it will never fit me anyway. Well what do you know, the XL fit me - zipped up and everything! I nearly keeled over. Thank god it was only $39 because I just about sprinted to the nearest register and bought the sucker as fast as I could! This is the first time I have ever bought anything in a regular size in as long as I can remember...probably ever- at least it feels like it! So that was a great feeling. Of course I am now praying for chilly fall like weather because by the time I can wear this thing it will probably be too big! Oh well I can always exchange it for a smaller one! IMAGINE THAT!
We had a great weekend...oh had my appointment on Friday with Dr. Ameri...pretty uneventful. He was very happy with my weight loss, said it is a bit faster than the average for 3 months so that is good. He wasn't concerned about my intolerances or getting sick...said I should be happy that the operation is working and that I will have a better outcome in the long run than people who can eat more. He said it just gets them into trouble sooner. So that did make me feel better, i never thought of it that way. He said just stick to my safe foods and ride it out and it will all be different in a month or 2 then try again. So that's the plan.
We had a great day in the pool Saturday, it was gorgeous out. Tried to go to Canobie Lake last night but Nick fell asleep and when he woke up he was in a BAD mood and didnt want to go. I think the huge ferris wheel freaked him out.
Today we went for a long walk around Horn Pond in Woburn which we love- saw all the ducks and swans and Lew took some pictures of Nick. Then I went to a get together in Waltham of some people I met online that have had the surgery and live around here.
It was great, so nice to meet folks going through the same experience and get some advice and tips. It was very reassuring and great to see what they are eating and how amazing they look down the road. Several of the women were about 8 months out and had lost 100 pounds and were eating pretty normally, as in chicken, veggies, fruit, dessert. I noticed no one ate carbs or drank with their food, so that will probably never change.
Well off to work tomorrow- it's been awhile. Looking forward to seeing my news buddies.
