Another month, another size

I'm 7 months out from my surgery now and life is still pretty good. This week I wore two different sz 12 pants to work, which still kind of boggles my mind. I notice weird things like when I lie in bed on my side, my kneecaps press uncomfortably together so I have to switch up how I lay down. I guess I always had too much fat padding there before. I can feel my tailbone, never knew the bone was shaped like that before. Hard chairs kill my butt now. We went to the rodeo last weekend and sat on metal bleachers. My butt was sore for 2 days!! My collarbones are starting to emerge.

I just looked at a video of my family from a couple of years ago and I can't believe how huge I was. I still feel pretty fat most days but when I saw that video, I was like 'Dang, I was *really* fat!!'

I've been doing so much better on my vitamins, I have not missed a dose for almost a month now. I did buy a medcenter vitamin dispenser that allows you to set up an entire month's supply at once and that's been a huge help. I also put reminders in my phone to take my vitamins. I still hate my multivitamin horsepill but I've discovered that if I take with my protein shake, it goes down so much easier and doesn't get stuck or gag me. My hair loss is still going on, I keep thinking that it's slowing down but then more comes out. I got it cut much shorter last week (by at least 8 inches) so at least the lost hair isn't so bad on my bathroom floor.

I'm going goodwill shopping this afternoon and I just may dare buy some sz 10 clothing for the winter. It definitely won't fit me now but I've found it helpful to buy the next smaller size to have on hand. I like to try it on to gauge how my body is doing and see if I can squeeze my thighs in or zip things up yet!
