    Thank you all for the well wishes. I love this group and the support you all give.

    Surgery went well and I am now on the road to recovery. Food will be soft and mushy for some time and exercise is limited for a bit. Can't lift over 10 pounds right now and if I get too active or bend over I get nose bleeds. So just trying to move around when I can, sleep and relax.



    So glad you checked in, I was wondering how you were doing but didn't want to bother you. Rest and heal, that's all your body needs. Don't worry about exercise or the scale.

    Glad that the surgery is over. But...you have to have a second one?? I didn't know that.
    I hope that you are not in too much pain.
    Big hugs <3

    I am Dawn, 61, 5'2"
    I am in Southeastern BC, Canada
    Top weight: 207 pounds. MFP start weight 191 pounds, October 2018
    UGW 110-118
    I love the accountability of this forum : - )
    Tracking every bite is the key to success.

    May 01 - Going with my April end weight as I did for the last month. 135.0
    Monday May 02 - 136.8 - Ouch. Feeling leaner than that. Back to jumping around all over the place. My WW scale gave up the ghost months ago, and this new one...not sure if it really works. Very active days off, time for healthy food prep and eating. I truly expected a loss.
    May 03 - 135.6 - That is better.
    May 04 - 135.8 - Busy week, trying to have food prep ready for each dinner.
    May 05 - 137.0 - No reason for this at all. I burned more calories than I ate actually (due to long hours digging in the garden after work knowing that there would be rain to set the seeds today). I did drink more water yesterday, otherwise ate very well, worked out etc. I hate these jump ups.
    May 06 - 136.4 - I have had maybe too active of a week? Perhaps my body thinks that it must hold on to fat to save me lol. We got lovely rain yesterday to set my seeds into my garden : - )
    May 07 - 135.4 - All of that digging finally catching up on the scale? I'll take it.
    May 08 - 136.2 - Working late tonight, so it will be a late dinner.
    May 09 - 136.6 - I worked much later than even expected last night, so ate very late and was up too early. Not surprised that my weight is up today, and it might take a few days to level myself back out and settle into a rare 6 day work week.
    May 10 - 136.0
    May 11 - 135.2 - That is better, getting closer to my start weight. I was feeling lean yesterday, glad that the scale agrees.
    May 12 - 137.2 - Dang!!! 2 pounds in one day? argh
    May 13 - 137.2 - Struggling with my motivation today because of this number. I will have to give myself a good talking to.
    May 14 - 138.8 - double ouch. So happy to have a day off, I had only one last week and then worked 6 in a row with both jobs including getting up very early and working very late. I was truly exhausted, and the late dinners seem to affect my weight. No choice on the dinner front when I work so late. Going to try to refuse any of those next week. Lol, today will be catching up on laundry and all of the stuff that I couldn't get to. Hoping to get out for a nice hike if the weather holds, and a bunch of little workouts here and there.
    May 15 - 137.4 - Planning a very active day off today: workouts, a hike, cutting the grass.
    May 16 - 137.6 - I am going out to a comedy show tonight, so will try to keep my dinner when I get home small.
    May 17 - 136.6 - Hmmm. I thought that it would be the other way around after being up late and then getting up early. Good laughs maybe released some fat?
    Wednesday May 18 - 137.6 - Big calorie burn day, after work I went hard in the garden until almost dark, then had a late dinner. Today might be the same.
    May 19 - 139.0
    May 20 - 139.6 - Not sure what is going on with me. Of course not happy about the extra pounds on the scale.
    Leaving on a mini holiday right after work today. I will be taking my scale with me but am not sure if I will find time for the forums for a few days. I am packing food to take. Eating out is something that I will avoid except for coffee in cafes. 90% rain in the forecast so I don't know if I will get any hiking in, but will definitely be going to the parade, the street fair, the farmer's market, the midway etc. I will get workouts in on my phone or laptop in my motel and a bit of walking around the Blossom Festival and Rodeo grounds.
    May 21 - The scale that I took with me either doesn't work right or did not like the floor in the motel. 48 pounds lol
    May 22 - I ordered a new scale online which will arrive late this week. The scale said 176.8 which I know is not true
    May 23 - 138.8. Back home with the scale back to where it used to be. Very healthy eating for my time away (I had a microwave, refrigerator and a coffee maker in the motel) and lots of activity. I will believe this scale until I get my new one, a WW which is what I had before the current one, it will be a portable one.
    May 24 - 136.2 - I am okay with that. 8 days until the end of the month, the push is on to at least weigh the same as the start of the month. Slightly less would be better, but I never lose that quickly.
    May 25 - 136.4 - I don't seem to weigh at the same time each day. It was earlier today, so I don't think that I really gained any weight yesterday. Staying on track.
    May 26 - 136.0 - Burning lots of calories after work each day getting the rest of my garden tilled and planted. Hoping to finish it all up by Sunday. Holding off on cutting the grass, priorities will be to get stuff planted.
    May 27 - 136.9 - This is the new scale. 0.8 higher side to side than the scale that was going wonky when I traveled, but I will trust this new one. So I am slightly heavier, but that is okay. I feel like I can trust this new scale.

    Yes, this was upper jaw surgery. In a year to 18 months I will have the lower jaw operated on. The pain is pretty much what I expected, the swelling isn't. The bags under my eyes have swollen. It's rather comical. I am staying on top of the meds and ice packs and getting as much rest as I can. Hoping to go back to work Tuesday, but not certain yet. May wait till after my post op visit with my doctor on Wednesday. Thank you for the hugs.
