VERY BAD NIGHT - NEED ADVICE

My Surgery-twin, Ms Sarah is very funny!  I was about 14 months out before I hit 145.  I didn't lose any weight the first couple of weeks after surgery either. But after all the anesthesia, fluids and gas get out of your system, it seems to start falling off.  I also had a killer UTI while in the hosp so I was on mega doses of antibiotics too. But once it started coming off, I lost about 70-80lbs in the first 6 months.  That part was amazing!  But it did start slowing down after that.

As for the other part of your problem, I think Gina hit the nail on the head! 

Good Luck on your journey and Welcome to the Loser's Bench!

Hugs, Mari

LOL - I remember you losing so fast - I would swear it was faster than that. 

Good thing I have my blog to remind me of how I lost because it is all becoming a blur to me now.  It's hell getting old! 

Hang in there.  Everyone is different.  You may be swollen from surgery.  Your metabolism may need to adjust.  It will happen.  You do need to take care of yourself and get enough rest.  If the house is a mess, your husband needs to clean it.  He lives there, and you just had surgery. It doesn't matter that he works outside the house.  He can pick up the slack for you now. If your parents are comming to visit, they should understand that the house isn't going to be spotless.  You have kids and you just had surgery.  They should be able to help you out, run errands, ect. too.  And if something else comes up that your husband says you can't not go to, tell him that you just had friggin surgery and you are functioning on very few calories at the moment, and it is not something you can do right now.  If the family doesn't understand why you can't join them, then they aren't really the kind of people you need to surround yourself with right now.  You need support, emotional and physical.  You can love family, but if they aren't supportive, you don't have to hang out with them.  It's also ok for your kids to eat pb&j and lunchables while you are healing.  They can help pick up too.  It's not alot of help at that age, but it is some.  They will probably enjoy being mommy's helper while she is feeling sick.  I was very very tired for a couple of months.  Don't worry, relax, take care of yourself, surround yourself with supportive people and avoid those who aren't.  Good luck to you.
