I'm so tired of being sick. The meds the doc gave me have my appetite up and down (mostly down) and my energy level is nil. I just want to get back on track.
-
Did a week of higher calories, not to scale it back again in hopes my weight loss will kick start again. The wait is frustrating.

Got a surgery date! July 14th. I am ready to start this journey.

Pre-op diet gets a tiny bit easier each day. I can do this!

Very sick, but sticking to the plan.

Have had a really rough couple of days. Developed a tooth abscess that is currently making me miserable. The antibiotics and pain medications have made me incredibly nauseous. All of this and I have surgery on Monday. My surgeon is aware I need a root canal and that I am on abx, and he said he is going to call me on Monday to see how I feel, but I am so worried that this is going to get worse and the surgery will need to be post poned. I can't change this date I already jumped through hoops to get the time off I needed. According to the surgeons assistant it shouldn't be canceled unless I run a fever, which I haven't, but my stress level is through the roof. All of this and it is my turn to be nurse coordinator all weekend for an entire psychiatric hospital. This is going to be a trying 4 days.

Hi Paige! I am so sorry this happened at the last minute. Hopefully they have your antibiotics working and surgery won't get postponed on you.
Try to do something nice for yourself to help you relax the next few days. Take a long hot bath, listen to some music, read a book. Try some deep breathing exercises which will both help your pain and your anxiety. I promise, I use it all the time and I was a non believer for years.
I hope everything gets cleared up and wish you the best!

Down from a 26 to a 20. I bought jeans at Old Navy today. So ready to say goodbye to plus size stores!

I actually bought a pair of skinny jeans yesterday!

Weight loss is slowing down, but still steady. Pleased with my progress. Gotta keep on keeping on.

First two night back at work went well. I am so very thankful for such a supportive work crew.
