It's the small things

I'm finally starting to notice the weight loss in the way my clothes fit.  Everything is getting loose. I'm also finally able to sleep on my side; although not for long. Not being able to sleep on my stomach (best sleep ever), but having to lay flat on my back and sleep is no fun.  Ive been sleep deprived since having the surgery.
 

I'm looking forward to buying new clothes and can't wait to see what I will look like in a few months.  What I'm most excited about is that on tomorrow, I go to see the nutritionist!!! She will add foods to my list!! I am SO over chicken, fish and eggs!! I want some variety! There's only so much you can do to jazz up tuna fish when you are limited to what you can ADD to it!

My husband is a little disgruntled because I'm loosing weight in places that HE does not want me to!! Even before surgery, if i lost a few pounds, it would come from my breast and butt area first. SORRY HONEY!!

The smaller things I have noticed that I can do so far is....I can wear my watch again. My wrists were so fat that my watches did not fit anymore. I can wear my wedding rings again! I had not worn them in about 2-3 months because my fingers were fat. I wonder if my feet will get smaller?? Not sure about that, but It would be nice to wear a smaller size shoe!

I often also wonder about hair loss or thinning. I know others who have had this surgery and have loss alot of hair. I sure hope that doesn't happen to me. My grandmother passed down nice, thick hair to me and my daughter.  She is able to put a relaxer in her hair and go outside and mow the lawn, and work in the flower beds for hours before washing it out and she is not bald yet!!  I sure hope that is the case for me. I have a short crop cut now, but I sure don't wanna be BALD! The doctors say if you take in enough protein that you can avoid that. So here's to all the protein I can handle!

I have a long way to go. I am praying that I will be a healthy journey! So many things can go wrong when you have a surgery like this. I will pray about it and leave it there.
