I am feeling so good today.. I am now 5 weeks post op and I am 38 llbs down. I can't believe how different I feel! Looking back to the weight going on, my biggest problems really started in the last couple of stone I had put on. The reason this is weird is because it took a couple of years to put that on whereas its taken a less than a couple of months to lose it! I have been in so much pain for what seems like forever with my knee and leg. I have arthritis and a collapsed arch, at some points I could hardly walk with it and when I did it was mostly with a limp! Yet in such a short space of time I am walking up to 6 miles and there is no pain!
Last night I went out on the town with a couple of friends. Something I have not done for a while because I felt so uncomfortable with myself and I also could not stand up for very long. But last night, I dressed up in an outfit I bought over a year ago on ebay but it was too small and looked stupid, last night it fitted lovely, I wore heals!!!! YEY another goal hit! I have not been able to wear heals for a long time. Granted my tootsies were a little sore at the end of the night but that may have been able to do with the fact I danced all night!!! I had such a good time, I even got down on the floor with a group of random strangers and did 'Oops up side your head' and the best part was, I was able to get back up on my own!
Another new thing for me was the effects of alcohol!!! I had 3 drinks and actually felt drunk! I am such a cheap date now! And as it goes out of your blood stream as quick as it goes in..... No Hangover!!!
I LOVE MY SLEEVE...
That sounds like a lot of fun! Isn't it great to feel like you can go out again. You are lucky though. If I have more then one glass of wine I get a hang over. I used to never get hangovers before surgery
