Double digits!!

(Hmmm...a new way to weigh)




I was pleasantly surprised this morning when stepping on the scales..99.9! Goal #1 reached!

Now I plan to stay off for 2 weeks until my next checkup and first fill. I know that weight fluctuates, especially since yesterday at my postop checkup I weighed 101.9 (late in the afternoon, with shoes on and all bloaty-feeling).

Lately I've been feeling like I want to eat. Not full-on hunger, more of head-hunger I guess. I am a bit over liquids and looking forward to mushies in 2 days. I know for me that I need to avoid carbs, though, as they will set me up to fail. Protein, protein, protein.

My most difficult issue since the surgery has been a terrible, gut-wrenching cough. This sometimes happens to me after a surgery from the breathing tube. It is miserable--I can't sleep at night and then during the day I will be trying to teach a room full of high-school boys and I will be strangled by this cough, tears streaming down my face. Miss, are you OK? No, I'm not OK!!! Pathetic. Hopefully it will be gone soon.
