Only 2 pounds?!
Well, the stall has ended... sort of. I've lost 2 pounds as of Monday. It's better than nothing, but it's still frustrating! So, 47 pounds down since surgery and 55 total.
However, I know that, regardless of what the scale says, I'm losing inches because my clothes are still seeming to get bigger. I'm still anxious for the scale to move more. I really want to lose another 30 pounds before I go to the Dominican Republic in June.
I'm having the urge to starting running. I'm hoping that once it gets a little warmer, I can teach Maggie to run with me. I'm not really holding my breath, though. She is awful on the leash and does whatever she wants. I'd probably end up trampling her or she would try to bite my feet and pants, which is the norm.
Musical is in full force! 7 weeks until the performances. I feel more stressed out this year than I ever did last year.
I don't feel like I have more energy, which I think I should after losing 55 pounds. Hmph.
I am so anxious for summer. This school year has been tumultuous because of the budget cuts and all of the uncertainty. I can't wait to spend the summer having fun and working on my house. And I hope I'm at least 30 pounds lighter by the time summer gets here!

Back to normal
Let me start out by saying that antibiotics and I are in a fight. The antibiotic that my doctor put me on for the abscess made me so sick. I threw up almost every day of the 10 days I took it. It was a miserable 10 days.
The good news? I have been done with it for over a week now and I feel a million times better. I am back to eating normally (well, as normal as possible with a sleeve!) and I am feeling so much better. I hope that is the one and only hurdle from the surgery.
I am finding that I have to eat every 2 hours now. I feel completely awful if I don't eat. I feel like I'm eating all day long!
As of last week, I hit the 45 pound mark. So, I am 45 post op and 53 total. I lost quite a bit of weight while I was dealing with the abscess. When I finished the antibiotic and started eating more normally, my weight loss plateaued. Which is okay because the last 10 pounds came off too fast because I wasn't eating. I'm ready for it to start up again! I'll be coming up on my 2 month anniversary soon. The weight loss will really slow down after the 3 month mark, so I'm hoping to get off another 20 pounds before March 19th.
Clothing has been a struggle. None of my dress pants fit and I can't find any reasonably priced anywhere! I don't want to pay a ton of money for them because I'll likely be too small for them within a month or so.
Counting down the weeks until summer! I can't wait for all of the things I have planned for summertime.
