I ate a cookie today. Yeah, I am on liquids. Yeah, it broke down nice and smooth. I hate knowing now how easy it went down. It's impossible for me to turn down the cutest two-year-old on the planet when he hands me a pink frosted cookie and says "chuckie and mamma eat cookie wif each other" as he climbs into my lap. Those damned cookies shouldn't even be in this house but somebody stuffed them in my husband's hands as we left the party last night. He also scored half a chocolate cake which I am trying to pretend I don't know is in the kitchen pantry now.

This shouldn't bother me too much. I am trying to break free of food, not continue to obsess over it in a brand new way. Ugh.

In other strange news, I have a weird rash. I am not sensitive or allergic to any meds to date but I am wondering if it is from my pain medicine. I have taken hydrocodone in the past and never had a problem like this. I didn't take any today, though and the rash does not feel any better. It's just redness with itchiness..no bumps. I may have to call the doctor tomorrow to find out what's going on because it is way uncomfortable. Maybe I will try some Benadryl first.

BTW, I ate that cookie slow slow slow and felt just as satisfied as if I had eaten an entire dozen. That is great news.

Yeah I have a rash but only where the bandages and stuff were around the incisions were. I am allergic to the bandaids and sticky tape. SO I am a mess and soooo itchy...

I still couldnt even think of solids. I am tooo freaked out. Maybe in a couple days but for now I am loving the liquids.. I am so scared to get something stuck.. LOL I am going to be like that forever..

I say good on u for eating just one cookie.. I will not be restricting myself from everything when u do that things fail.. I will be watching what I eat but this lapband is all about restriction for me. I will still eat the foods I love but in moderation now.. You are doing awesome....

Stick out your hand... BAD GIRL.. BAD GIRL...only concern is for you in the long run.. I know some people eat whatever they want after 3 days, but it helps with the healing to not have anything more than liquid to process. Yes the stomach can hold and process the food, it's about healing and swelling at this point. Be careful my friend!

Be soooo careful.... You want to heal well, it only takes a crumb to rub and bam you swell closed.....

good luck chooky

Thanks ya'll! I do need a slap on the hand! :sneaky: Tough love.
