So I had the surgery and the first 4 days were miserable in the hospital. I couldn't even think about eating my protein drinks. I never touched any of the food they brought instead I just kept drinking the water. I needed to do the migranal. I am working on getting my walking up and my protein up. My mom is leaving me today. I've had either my mom or my dad out all week so I think I'm ready. I'm not going it alone. Sean's uncle is still here playing nanny to the kids and chofure too me....

Then I saw the dietician I was down 2 pounds from her last weigh in. I told her I was doing weight watchers because I was failing without something more than her support 2 times a month. She was actually very supportive. ...

I am feeling better than earlier in the week. I've manged follow my Weight Watchers points as closely as humanly possible. I log everything I eat. It really has helped me to look at how I am eating.

I feel a little better about what I'm doing now. I go back to the dietician on tuesday and see the psychologist on wednesday.

I guess the big difference is my son is learning how to cook totally different meals. We did turkey meatloaf in muffin tins for portion control....
