Today is day 18 and my scale hasn't moved in six days...... Is this normal?  I thought I was doing good by getting my water and protein in finally but its not budging.  What do I do?  Scared.  I can get stuck so I must have some kind of restriction bc I have had it come back up.  Still no full feeling. Just have to measure.

Cheers to A Better Day!!

Oct 27, 2009

Okay, i have serious gas issues still and I am dumping everything.  I am drinking my water, well lemonade crystal light.  So I think I am okay. I didnt sleep as much today.  But, I am still sore around my incisions.   I am going to give it a week.  I am a clean freak so I have made the mistake of leaning all the way over and picking up after everyone leaves in the mornings.  Hurts too.  I was looking at my posts from the  hospital, I was miserable.  Forgive me.  I am still wondering why I didn't make up my mind and lose it but hey it's way too late for that.  So Please keep me in your prayers.
Thanks for being there to listen.
