Dental surgery

You would think that having dental surgery, and not being able to chew anything - well, my weight should be down. Nope. Up 1.2 lbs. How on earth did that happen?

It seems that consuming quantities of prepared, prepackaged, easy to swallow without chewing foods is not healthy. Go figure! The sodium content in the soups is ridiculously high, so naturally I am retaining water. I figure i'm not eating enough to get my metabolism going so I'm stalled....

I have decided I will not step on a scale again until after I can start eating once again. Why put myself through the self humiliation? Why torture myself. At least when I'm eating I KNOW why I gain. But this semi-liquid diet has me stumped.

Okay, I'm walking it off... all the way to the kitchen to eat some ice cream...
