Update on Weight Loss

Since starting the pre-op diet and having the surgery, I have lost 36 pounds. Last night, I went through some clothes given to me by a family member. Before the surgery, I could not get most of them on. They are about 2 to 4 sizes smaller than the rest of my wardrobe. Last night, I found I could wear about half of the clothes. I was very excited. It made the weight loss more real for me. I've had a lot of people tell me they can see the difference, but it's hard to see it in yourself. The clothes, however, made it apparent to me that 36 pounds is a lot of weight. And I am still dropping. I should really try to stop whining about not being able to eat what I want and be happy that I am on my way to a healthier body.
