I guess this is just the way it is.

So it's almost 8 weeks post surgery and I haven't lost weight in a few weeks.  In fact I may have gained a pound or two.  I must admit that it is frustrating but I'm not necessarily down in the dumps.  I know that I have lost 30 pounds since surgery and that's fantastic.  I know cognitively that there is no way I can gain weight on the calories I'm taking in each day.  I'm sure that my body is completely freaking out at the massive change in my eating.  It's just a little frustrating to read post after post of amazing weightloss and then to read post after post of "advice" about calorie intake and what is the "best" way to lose.  I honestly feel like I can't read so many threads.  They make me want to scream.  I think I'll keep the saying "stick to your plan" over and over in my head and take one day at a time.  I tell people alllllll the time to stay in the moment and focus on where you are and what you're doing today!  I have to follow my own advice.  There are no "must"s or "should"s in life ( I tell others) and then I find myself "should"ing on myself.  Ah well.....nobody is perfect, including me.  I still know it was the right decision.  I'm planning a cool new haircut to address any potential hair loss.  Going to buy 1 pair of jeans that will fit right now!  Life is good, even when it's tough.  That's all for now.  Be well.
