Deployment and Gastric Bypass Through My Eyes: Progress.. sort of??

Today's the 19th of April, it's almost been a month since my surgery, and I've lost 18lbs. Actually I lost the 18lbs. the first week after the surgery, and I've been on a plateau ever since. I can see inches coming off my body, but the scale isn't budging. I feel like a slave to the scale. It depresses me when I know I should be down 5 or even 10 pounds, but nodda. I can definitely tell I'm losing inches though. Right now, I'm wearing a shirt that I haven't been able to wear in a year and a half.. Yay!!! I can see the progress of the inches coming off, but you must know how it feels to work so hard and have NO weight loss. Oh well, I'm sure it'll come off soon enough... I hope!

Roberto's on block leave this week, and I've barely seen him. He got a new video game and has been GLUED to the TV ever since. It's just nice having him here though. I'm really going to miss him during this deployment. It's getting so close. I just wish they would give us a date. I think I'd be okay as long as I knew WHEN he was actually leaving. That's the Army though, I guess. Hurry up and wait! Sheesh. They told us they would give a 3 day advance for the deployment. Urgh!!

I'm just going to enjoy the next two weeks with my husband and baby girl. Even if the scale isn't budging, even though my husband won't get off the Xbox, and even if Myracle is exceptionally jealous of Mommy & Daddy time. I'm going to savor the next two weeks and pray that they last FOREVER!
