the shoulder dicomfort is gone, but the port site tenderness is still there. Especially when I do too much or bend over too often. My port is up high on my abdomen. Not sure why, but thats where my doc put it.

I did eat some pureed pea soup mixed with 1% milk, took me 3 hours to get down a cup full but atleast I ate something.

My friend lent me her magic bullet and I will put it to good use. She is 8 mos out from her gastric bypass and down over 80lbs. I think she looks fantastic.

I am still afraid of the scale. Not wanting to get discouraged, I just stay away from it.

I went shopping today. Felt great to get out of the house. My dear fiance was awesome and pushed the cart (he really hates to do that) and took care of all the carrying.

I made my 2 fellows some buffalo chicken soup for watching the game. It smells terrific.

I am still not hungry, really have to push to get food in, water is easy. I have been drinking so much water for the last 4 mos that its second nature to always have a drink in hand.

Good for you, sounds like you are doing great, and what a blessing for you to have a nice fiance. I love water now too, gave up tea as it robs me of my iron and vitamins. Love the protein drinks too. You will do wonderful with the band, just keep that right attitude! God bless you.
