The dreaded "Week 3 Stall"

Dec 23, 2011

I am three weeks and 1 day out today and I have hit the much lamented "3 week stall"...right on time.  I read about it on the message boards,  and I'm sure like others, I thought since I'd been losing about a pound a day since surgery that it might not happen to me.  But when I hopped on the scale this morning I was actually up a pound...How does that even happen?  I'm barely eating anything.  Anyway, thanks to OH I knew what to expect.  So I'm not upset, just looking forward to when the scale starts going down again...and I know it will.

So far this journey is going better than I thought it would.  I am a pessimist by nature and part of me is still waiting for the other shoe to drop...but thus far, it hasn't, and I'm so grateful.  I'm so grateful that I even got a chance to have this surgery.  A part of me never thought I'd get here.  And even being so grateful, I'm still thinking, what have I done?  I will never be able to eat a regular plate of food again  What was I thinking??  But each time I see the scale go down...my resolve is strengthened.  Right now, I'm still glad I did this...and my family is finally on board.  So I'm happy.
