So I just one week and day out of surgery and things are getting better. I still have that darn shoulder pain and I swear it is 10 times worse than the pain from surgery! Nothing at all seems to help it and I have tried everything. No one told me anyhtign about this prior to surgery and they really need to advise people. I read about after and heard it is pretty common, but I know of some people who still have it 6 months after. It is very, very painful!

 

So technically I am suppose to be on full liquids until the 29th but I have been pushing it just a little. Basically if I can chew into nothing I have been eating it...adding in slowly. My one guilty pleasure is cheeto puffs! I eat about three and that's it and man is it a treat! They melt in your mouth so when you swallow them, there is pretty much nothing yet. i still take really small bites. And creamy soups with some chunks in there are working ok. I am not even going to try meat or steamed veggies or bread...I am still scared of anyhting like that...too much digestion involved! *lol*

 

Since my final weigh in before surgery on 10/6/09 I am down 14.6 lbs!!! I am really excited to see it coming off and I can feel it! Right now I am completely unrestricted and I get my first fill right before Thanksgiving...lucky me! SO my dilemma now is do I wait until fate Thanksgiving to get my fill so I can atleast have something or go on and get it??? I will be on complete liquids if I get it and that will be miserable!!

 

We'll see what happens!:huh2:
