Incisions, Accidents & TOM - OH MY!

SO I'm officially on week 3. YEAH! Not really. This has been one heck of a week. I only lost about 3.8 (yes point 8) pounds this week as opposed to 5 each of the previous two weeks. So I automatically assumed it was A STALL! But along comes TOM and since I hadn't seen TOM since January, I was certain I would be retaining something. But the awesome thing is I didn't gain 5-7 lbs like I normally do and I didn't even know it was coming I didn't have any insane cravings at all. Hopefully the scale will start to move in the GOOD direction once this is all over.

 

Remember I said I thought I was gonna die from an infection...I may not have said that but that's what I was thinking :scared0: Well I did what Dr. Aceves said and VOILA! My scars look like bad acne that I just couldn't stop scratching and the long one looks like a cat got to my belly. All is well on that front, thank goodness.

 

Today I was involved in a car accident. I was rear-ended taking my daughter to her first day of nursery school. I'm sitting at my desk slumped over. My back hurts really bad and I just hope and pray I'm not going to be putting off exercise anymore. I haven't done enough of it as it is and really don't need the "excuse". But I will go see a doctor just to be safe.

 

Did I mention I LOVE MY SLEEVE? I've been trying mushies and since it's on the list...I'm going to try some melon tonight. I tried a scrambled egg and it was OK but after about 3 nibbles it just felt like a creepy crawler going down, I didn't like it too much. It didn't come back up so I guess that's a good thing.

 

The weather is warming up, my tummy is slimming down or at least the back rolls are (these thighs look like they won't go without a fight) and I can't wait to be in full swing with losing.

Congratualations on more weight loss! I'm at the end of my first week and I have been feeling concerned because I haven't seen the scale budge for the entire week. I keep reminding myself that I came home from the hospital 10 pound lighter and that obviously wasn't all fat loss over a 2 day period, and that my body fluids are still stabilizing--but the truth is that we all like to watch the scale go DOWN. Sounds like you are doing great--keep up the good work!

Thanks Katt. It didnt move for until I got to day 6 for me. I was concerned because the other patients I was there with showed immediate changes on the scale. I'm a scale slave (ho) and I'm hoping to ease up on it but it's just so nice to see pounds go away you think it will happen EVERY time you get on the scale. Happy Losing!
