Hi all,
Last night I went to dinner with DH, my brother & sister in law at Longhorn steak house. I was so proud of myself during and after! Pre-op I would have eaten an appetizer, full meal and maybe dessert. Last night I ate 1/4 of a salad with only a tsp of dressing, 3 oz of fillet mignon, and less than 1/4 of a baked potato! I skipped the bread & butter entirely and I really enjoyed my meal and the company. I was able to give a lot of my meal away and still bring more than enough home to have another meal for DH or myself.
It felt so awesome to go out to eat and just eat a little bit! I have never done that before without feeling completely deprived! What a miracle! I am loving my surgery.
It was also nice that I was wearing capris & a blouse that are 4 sizes smaller than where I was just 8 weeks ago too! I am really proud of myself!
Thanks for sharing my joy!
PS: I rode my bike 4.25 miles outside yesterday and felt great too!
