So, tomorrow will not only be my birthday, but will also be 1 month since I've gotten my surgery!! I will be weighing myself tomorrow and hoping that the totally weight I have lost for the month is 30 pounds. That would be awesome!! I also can start regular food!! YAY! No more liquid or soft diets. My stomach isn't hurting anymore and I can finally sleep on both my sides comfortably with no pain!! My Phillies Jersey that only couldn't even button can now be buttoned, my jeans that couldn't even be zipped can now zip, and I went to the movies for the first time in a loooooooong time and I was able to fit into the seat better then I did the last time I went. Little things are proving to me that I am in fact losing this weight and it really makes me motivated and happy!! =] I got to see my surgeon in another week so hopefully he can tell me I can start lifting so I can start in on my weighs and the gym. Just wanted to write a little update and say how great I'm doing. No pain [except if I walk a little too much], I have so much more energy I don't even know what to do with myself lol, and I'm just looking and feeling better. I'll probably take some pictures tonight of myself and post them later. Thank you everybody for all your support that you've given me!!
