Day 1 post op - my surprises

[B.Annie 290]

I never weigh myself. I'm 2 years out. I let my clothes speak for me. I don't own scales. I let the doc's office weigh me and that's it. Immediately postop you are bloated from all the IV fluids and the surgery itself. I don't recommend weighing for the 1st month at all. Just let the change in clothing sizes let you feel good about yourself towards the end of the 1st month. I'm very laid-back about being overweight or a more normal weight. I had surgery for 2 reasons, I was overweight, but I wasnt depressed about it. And more importantly, I have a heart condition that forced me to lose weight. Bypass in my case was the best choice because I'm also disabled.
My hubs had to tell me to go clothes shopping when I couldn't fit in his jeans anymore (I cheated and stole his 1st) I wore a size 40 waist at my largest and he wears a 34 waist. I just didn't want to buy clothes I would wear a week or 2 at most. Turned out to be a smart move. I got maybe a week or 2 in his jeans before he made me go buy smaller sizes.

I can't wait to be able to fit into my husband's pants. He wears a size 34 and never in my life I've been able to fit into them. I'm sure when I'm finally able to put them on lll find that it's time to get new clothesAndrew got me home safe and sound. Resting now in his recliner. Hope you're doing well!

Love this! I'm not sure if I can let go of the scale altogether when my time comes but I'll keep this in mind. Thanks for sharing.
