Stalled... and I thought it wouldn't happen to me...

Nov 22, 2013

I had surgery on November 7th.  I was very surprised on the day of surgery to see I had lost 17 pounds before surgery.  My first week home, when I was barely moving, I lost 9 pounds... and it stopped.  The doctor said it was normal and between week 3 and 4 it should start moving again.  I sure hope so!  It's discouraging.  I know it's normal but I just wanted it to steadily shed off!  I've started paying more attention to my diet and trying to get more fluids in... I get plenty in but more won't hurt right??  I stay away from sugary drinks and surprisingly I no longer like the Diet Coke I couldn't go a day without in my life prior to surgery... I'm really hoping my body chemistry is just adjusting and this extra weight will start to come off!  So... I'll cross my finger and become super hopeful!
