So the scale hasn't budged in over five days now. I know it's normal. I know my body has to adjust. I know that if I continue to follow my basic ground rules, this will pass. I know I "shouldn't" weigh myself every morning. That doesn't mean it's not hard though. I'm tired.
The weather today isn't helping. It's cloudy and threatening rain. It would have been a perfect day to stay snuggled under the covers and read. That was not on my agenda though and my body is complaining.
My knees hurt. I've had knee aches my entire life. I also likely have arthritis from all the years of so much pressure on my knees due to the excess weight. My pain serves as a good reminder of why I'm doing this. Why I chose to have a major, life-altering surgery.
I've also adjusted my vitamins this week. I started taking my Nascobal vitamins through the Nutrition Direct program on Monday. They include a once-a-week nasal b12 spray, vitamin D3, calcium citrate and a multivitamin formulated for bariatric patients. My monthly cost for all of that is $25 through insurance. I currently have the chewable tablets but will most definitely be requesting the capsule form for my next order. They do not taste good but it is hard to beat that price!
Still, I know that the introduction of new vitamins, along with continuing to try and incorporate new foods into my plan can all have an affect on how my body reacts and responds to all the changes. This is why I'm trying to be patient with my stall. My rational side knows that my body just needs some time to adjust to everything that's happened in the last six weeks. The emotional side wants it to happen on my time frame!
