Anyone have legwarmers I can borrow?

Saw the surgeon today for 2 month check-up.

Weight loss 53#

This week I am eating a little easier.  I can actually eat meat now, which feels really good.  Something to chew.  It's hard to describe the feeling of trying to eat something, chewing, and it just doesn't feel right.  Well now it's feeling right.  Almost normal.

Get to stop taking another pill today.  It's the little things I'm telling ya.

Having the swelling gone has made all the difference in the world.  Walking over to grama's house seems so easy now.  A few months ago I could not do it.  I can breathe again!  No shortness of breath.  I can ride 2 hours in the car without swelling up and being miserable.  I can drive without pain.  It's a life changer.

Have a gigantic tub ready for Goodwill.  Probably 3 large garbage bags full with more to follow!  Now that's fun.  I wore a shirt one day and the next day it was too big.  Kinda crazy.  Wearing some jeans I haven't seen in years.  Nightgowns are all falling off me.  

Bob is going to bring up the Rubbermaids of old clothes from the basement.  These date back to the 1980s, some 1970s, so if you see me rocking some weird look that'll be why.  I think I threw away my legwarmers that go with my leotard though.  Dang.

Feeling pretty good overall.  Getting there.

6 weeks = 47 #
Lots of ups and downs.  Feel good one minute, pain and vomiting the next.  Still in the initial healing phase. The meds are part of the problem.  Once I figure out how to take them without causing problems life will get better.  They say be patient, in another month I will be very happy.
