Dreams/Plateaus/etc....

[Guest guest]

Hi all. I'm just rambling today but I had to tell you all about the dreams I'm having. I have them about every other night. In one I'm drinking coke after coke after coke and in the other one I keep swallowing my gum. The gum one is so real like (I ALWAYS swallowed my gum!) that the other day when I realized there was no gum in my mouth I had to think back for about 5 minutes trying to remember throwing it in the trash. I'm nuts! Anyone else had these silly kind of dreams? I'm now 6 weeks out and I lost 37 pounds in the first 4 weeks or so. Now I've been at 42 pounds for about 2 weeks. I don't weigh myself at home so I haven't been thinking about it too much and I was ready for a plateau. I knew once I started eating and getting my strength back I would gain some of my muscle back and I was READY. Well, now its hit and the neurotic part of my brain has kicked in...will I have gone through this surgery to only lose 42 pounds?!?!? I really know I'm fine and I know its OK. I know everyone goes through this but you think you're ready and when it hits, you really aren't ready. I'm going back to work on Monday. I have a fairly physical job and I think I'm ready. I feel good since I get my water in every day. A few weeks ago I wondered if I'd ever be able to say that again! I really have been so busy and active again sometimes I find it hard to keep up with all of the posts here! (Thats a good sign) Well, I'm off to the gym now, sorry to have rambled on so long but I hadn't posted in awhile. Hugs to all!
