23 days post op

 Haven't written lately...  going through a bit of a plateau.  Stalled out at about 20 lbs after 3 weeks.  Reading the forums on OH, it's not unheard of.  I have my one month follow up with my surgeon on Wed and am making a list of questions for him.  I checked on Thurs morning and was down to 269, so that is 21 lbs...  maybe the plateau is broken.  I also think the plateau hit the same time I finally started getting all my water in, and water weighs a lot so maybe my body was just adjusting to not being dehydrated or not hydrated enough.  Otherwise, feeling pretty good.  Went back to work on Thurs.  Glad I am easing back into it.  If I had gone back on a Monday, I may have had to call in sick/exhausted.  It worked out well for me.  Next week, 3 days on, 1 day off, 1 day on, then the weekend.  I can do that.  Thanksgiving is just the hubby and I this year.  We are cooking a turkey breast in the crock pot and I am going to chew chew chew my way through a few bites.  I think it should be ok.  I can have some mashed potatos and green beans (really, it'll be a bite of each).  Getting some activity/walking in daily.  I can't afford to not take advantage of being a bit thinner...  I found an exercise ball that has a 1000 lb capacity for core exercises and I think I'm going to get it for myself.  I may tell hubby to get it for me for the holidays.  :)  Only $25 at a store called Destination XL (used to be Casual Male XL).  I need to get after it...  

TTFN!
