SEEing Myself Shrinking
Ok the movie the other day wasnt bad... we went to see DaVinci Code and although I would have loved to have my popcorn, twizzlers and soda, I couldnt and I didn't die from it. It was hard to sit there drinking my bottle of water I smuggled in but it worked. The movie was pretty good too, we enjoyed our first "date" since we had Kaitlyn... it was nice to get out.
Anyway, it's so weird to notice myself getting thinner and I don't mean clothing sizes or the weight on the scale. I mean I look in the mirror and I can SEE myself getting thinner. Well first of all I notice I've lost weight in my hands because when I fold my hands together they feel thinner. I also notice when laying in bed that my butt is smaller and my hips stick out a bit more. There is one really weird thing though... my belly has "weight loss dents"... what I mean by that is on each side of my belly kinda centered top to bottom on the right and left is a dent where I have lost weight. If I can get a picture of it, I'm going to. It's so weird! And my skin on my belly is starting to look a little bit wrinkly if you know what I mean. I guess if you've ever been fat and lost weight you would understand... but you can see the skin is not being pulled and stretch by the fatness anymore... it's amazing to watch my transformation and I'm the one going through it!
Well I still have been good about not getting on the scale... I hope I can hold out another 11 days. I'll be one month post-op in 11 days and I dont want to get on the scale until then.
The last few days have been hard eating... I'm not eating nearly what I should be and trying to get in my water hurts... I mean everytime I take a drink I get an air bubble and it's so painful! I mean I used to have a big belly so the air had somewhere to move to when I drank but not now... air hardly fits in my belly. So being sick and trying to do all this is just getting more difficult everyday!
Speaking of being sick, I'm going to lay down for a nap with my daughter since she is crabby and tired and so am I! :)

Wow, Michele. That's got to be exiting to see yourself shrink like that! I'm so happy for you! How much do you expect to lose at the one month mark? That's great that you and dh got out for a while. I'm finally starting to appreciate those opportunities a bit more. I still freak out after a couple hours, but dh and I managed to go to a Cards game the other day. The stinkin' Mets won, though, lol. Is that your team? Yeah, the air bubble in the tiny tummy thing does sound painful. I hope you have a good nap with Kaitlyn.
