I think the substantial loss since yesterday is largely due to the reduced swelling in my face, but I'll take it anyway! This is actually a record low, despite appearances to the contrary, because the previous weights recorded below this level used my old (slightly more generous) scales.
I've amended my zig-zag diet plan for my period of recovery, going to the lowest calorie "Extreme Fat Loss" plan to take account of the lack of exercise. So, although yesterday was a high cal day, it was only just over 1,300 calories, but I still managed to stick to it 100%!
My sight is still pretty bad, but it is clearing as my eyes open up a bit more. The stitches come out tomorrow, so that should be a big improvement!
Thanks to all my buddies for your continuing support - you're all amazing! Have a great Tuesday!! :)

I doubt that your eyes are capable of holding 2.6 lbs of water. So that's a REAL loss; celebrate it! You are going to be at your goal before you know it. Keep up the great effort and take care of yourself!

woohoo!! Lookin good on that chart! Can't wait to see your after pic, when you're all healed up! If you were on i.v. fluids, that is why you were all swelled up.

Lots of water will help push any IV fluids that you could be retaining out, too. ;) You're doing great! Keep on taking good care and heal quickly!

Thanks everyone! I'm sure you're right about the IV fluids - I have been drinking water all day, so hopefully I'm doing all I can to sort that out. I'm SO bored of stayin in resting already - can't wait to get the stitches out tomorrow, because then I might just be presentable enough to take a trip to the shops (wearing sunglasses of course)!

Yay, great to see those scales go down for you... so regardless from where it came, it's a loss and fantastic!! ;o) Aw, hope having your stitches out tomorrow isn't so bad and that you manage to get out. Weather is meant to be nice isn't it... so you'll have a good excuse for sunglasses! ;o) You look after yourself though and keep up the great work. I'm going to have to behave myself, as know that you WILL catch me up! Although can't wait, as I still need my great UK buddy with me... keeping me on track for this GOAL. :o)

Thank you all! It would be all to easy to let myself go completely with the excuse of recovering from surgery - and that's definitely something I would have done in the past. However, not this time - I've changed so much over the last 10 months, and I am determined to get to my goal for the summer, and hopefully not too far behind you, Sue!!
