Water Weight

Not long after the weight gain, I got my monthly bill, which leads me to believe the gain was just water retention. This morning, I am magically back down to my previous, slightly-over-entry weight.

If only I had foreseen this situation, I could have avoided that embarrassing portal message to my surgeon. That’s okay, I’m just happy to be down the four pounds. I am crampy and achey, and I am still happy! This means they will probably proceed with the surgery as planned.

I have a walk-in closet full of clothes that will finally all fit again before too long. I can’t wait to be able to tie my shoes and put on socks without running out of breath. Wrap a normal-sized bath towel all the way around myself again. Get up the stairs without having to worry if there’s anyone waiting behind me.

This is a turning point in my life. I feel it.
