Ok, I had surgery on Wednesday March 7th. So, Is my one month in four weeks from Wednesday or on April 7th?

Thanks for your help!

...One at a time...Seriously, I go by the date. You are one month out on April 7th. It all balances out in the long run, but early out, if your plan goes by weeks - 2 weeks of this and 2 weeks of that, then count it how they say but to me a month is a month by date...wasn't that convoluted?

You must permanently change your lifestyle if you want your weight loss to be permanent. You can do it!

Thanks! I am feeling better these days! Just nervous about my eating. Some said I had too much. I e-mailed my NUT everything I had so I can see what she thinks, Thank you for you feedback and help!

Really? I would think it would be April 4 because its exactly 4 weeks from her surgery date.. thats how I have been counting my post op days..

Months are not calculated by weeks though. If you wanted to say 4 weeks out from surgery then that would be April 4th but since she wants to know the month then you do from the 7th to the 7th. 52 weeks in the year, divided by 4 means we should have 13 months. Weeks and months are totally different.

haha, It's funny how everyone counts it different. There should be a "uniform" way to count. I had this issue after my babies were born too. I didn't know to how to count it......would you believe I'm a math teacher???

hi amberk! :-)

i've been counting the weeks - just works for me. i guess it doesn't really matter as long as you consistantly use the same methodology (since some months are longer than others, switching back and forth will get messy).

hope aall is well - margaret

Thanks! Hope you are doing well also! What have you been eating? I am a little confused with mine! I am doing what my NUT told me to do, but people on here think otherwise with the bread.
