Five weeks today

Five weeks ago today I had VSG (vertical sleeve gastrectomy).  I started this journey at 267 and, as of this morning, I am at 229.2!!!!  I'm in the 220's!  I haven't been in the 220's since 2001-2002.  That means I have lost 38 pounds so far.  I was wearing size 26 pants and am now in a size 20.  
It hasn't been easy.  At. All.  Sure it sounds wonderful to lose 38 lbs in 5 weeks but it has definitely changed my way of life.  I won't elaborate on all the yucky stuff I go through but it is finally getting to the point where I can see changes that are good.  
On weekends, Jim and I usually go to town and visit several favorite stores of ours.  As a rule, I'll walk through one store and, by the time we get to the next, I sit in the truck while he goes to shop because I am too worn out.  This weekend, we spent three hours in town and I walked every single store with him and wasn't worn out!  That had been one of my goals - to walk with him and keep up.  
I'm so excited to see what this week brings!
