Fabulous February Post-Op's

[Cecilia 201]

I've been supported by almost everyone since day one with this. Today one of my BEST friends basically called me out on all this, saying she can't support me but tries to "as much as she can". She compared this to having a boob job or LASIK, just another "elective" surgery. She thinks I was lazy and should have just done more to workout and diet. My feelings are SO beyond hurt.

There is NOOOOO comparison. However, I would have to say that compared to 35 years of misery and starvation and exercise and some loss followed by heart-breaking regain of weight... this *is* easiER. But it not easy. Some friend! The whole time I was married to a man who could lose weight by just thinking about it, he never understood my struggle. NO CLUE. I think if you haven't been in our shoes, you just can't possibly understand what a last resort this is.

Oh and I see the dr Friday morning for my release back to work!! This should be interesting. I'm gonna ask of he ran out of staples during surgery! LOL

Seriously, though, I'd ask him what gives!? And let me know how it goes with the training! I'm starting week 2 on Saturday.

I MADE IT!!!! I had to wait three days and re-weigh because I was afraid it may just be a fluke, but it's for real: I weigh 198 pounds!!! The next time I weigh in I may "only" be overweight!!!!

Thanks you guys! I'm having an awesome day! I'll be traveling to the Cities this week and plan to hit all the Savers and Goodwill stores up there to refresh my wardrobe.

Keep up the good work, all of you. It's tough, especially getting the exercise, but I can't tell you how good it feels!

So decided to try Eggface's famous bites, had leftover ham so did the ham and cheese bites....kicked my butt and came back to haunt me! So, no more eggs for a couple weeks!!!! I can't believe it's been almost 2 months since surgery. CRAZY!!!

[one day at a time 30]

I started the couch to 5 k app. It is going very well! I recommend it to everyone who would like more physical activity. I am signed For my first 5k ever, this July, the color run in Minneapolis. So excited. 6 weeks out, Starting weight was 215, weighed my self today and down to 182.2. It has taken strict eating and exercise, but am actually looking forward to summer fun! I enjoy reading everyone's accomplishments (and hardships) to know I'm not alone.
