I haven't had much time to journal lately. Things are going okay with the band except I am hungry a lot and think about food all the time. Hopefully when I get my first fill that will help. I was starting to think that I didn't have ANY restriction because I was so HUNGRY! Well, I went out to eat with my family Thursday night. I ate 2 pieces of fish, 5 french fries, 1 of my daughter's chicken strips and was full. When I got home I was in PAIN! That night I had to go to sleep sitting up! So I guess I must have some restriction even without the fill! That was a hard learned lesson, so now I'm more careful not to overeat!!! Of course I am one of those people who expect to lose FAST when I give up my yummies! I have to be more patient! I've been exercising 5 days a week. Mostly walking. I ride my exercise bike sometimes. Today I rode my mountain bike it was so nice out. I have a couple of videos I want to try to start doing soon. Man I miss my cigs and my pop!!! And chocolate, and chips, and cookies............. Okay snap out of it woman!!! I CAN DO THIS!!!:clap2: :clap2: :clap2:
I am so glad the journals are back on! Well, went for my first post op. appt. yesterday. Doc says everything looks good. Allowed to go on mushies. Had some refried beans at taco bell because my pals were hungry so we stopped. Those went down good even though I'm not a big fan. Today I haven't eaten anything except some soup. Might try scrambled eggs later. Going back to work Monday (yee ha). Down 14lbs. yesterday at dr. he said that has been the average for people's first post op. I go back in a couple of weeks. Not sure if I'll get a fill then or what.
Got a new dog Wed. Her name is Holly and she's a 1 1/2 year yellow lab. Owner was moving and can't keep her. So far she's has been really good. Took her for a mile walk the other day. It's been raining off and on all week. I'm hoping to go again tonight. Hopefully it won't start raining again.
Everyone I know is cofused, they keep thinking I had the RNY. Have to keep explaining. Not looking forward to all the busy bodies at work asking questions Monday. It's a regular Peyton place there.
We've had people at work have the RNY and they lose weight FAST. They will probably expect me to do the same. Oh well, I"ll do what I can. The main thing is to get healthier.
It's me again. I'm just feeling whiny. I have been feeling sick to my stomach all day. Got out to the store today and spent a small fortune on groceries that I can't eat. Everything looked good for a minute there until I had nausea again. My man is in the kitchen cooking and I'm torn because it does smell good but I also feel like I may throw up. :violin:
Okay, I'm gonna take my sorry ass out for a walk. Oh, by the way I had a very small wet bm this afternoon. First one since surgery. Ta Ta. I have to get out of here.
Well I've gone a walk around the block twice today. Feeling a little better today. Still sore and bloated. When I was out walking someone was cooking something and boy did it smell good. Getting my appetite back now. Can start full liquids Sat. Looking forward to that after being on clear. Hope everything goes down okay. I think I may try to drive today. Need to do a few errands. Might go to the library too. Everyone here has a cold, I hope they feel better and don't give it to me.
Well today I came home from the hospital. Surgery went well yesterday. I haven't had anything to eat since Saturday evening. Have been on liquids since then. Just water and ice since surgery. Some pain, I think mostly from the gas. Incisions are fairly sore, not too bad I guess. The one by the port hurts the most. My daughter accidently plopped down on my stomach, that didn't feel so hot... Hopefully I feel back to normal soon.
