The Long Stall...

It seemed like this long stall would never, ever end! I suppose that I was spoiled a bit, watching the weight fall off after my surgery. For a month almost, nothing happened with the exception of gaining two pounds. How *that* happened I have no idea, especially since it's not like I can really eat much of anything.

The scales finally started moving again about four or five days ago. I dug around in the cabinets until I found my trusty jar of protein powder, and I started drinking about 35 grams every morning before I went off to work. After just a couple of days of that, the pounds just started melting off again. I guess that my body had gone into a mini starvation mode, and the influx of extra protein reassured it that all really was well.

My energy has really picked up as well, and I am very grateful for that, especially since I have gone back to work. The only real problem that I seem to be having is being all stopped up - yet another issue that my surgeon never bothered to mention! (grrr!)

Highest weight: 294
Weight today: 202
