Day 5 Post Op

I had my first tase of "real" food today! it was heaven!

 

I had to go to a wedding this weekend and the nurse had said I could have some mashed potatoes. The closest I could find was some cheese potatoes. I had to cut them up really small and mash them up. I took my time chewing and swallowing and put my spoon down in between bites. I had about 2 tablespoons and it was enough to fill me up. The hardest part was not drinking while eating. I tried to concentrate on the flavor and chew a bit more. It was amazing to see how much food everyone put on their plates (it was a buffet) and know that I was one of them a short time ago! Kind of felt good not to sutff myself like normal.

 

Surgery incisions feeling good. The most pain I am having is my knee and arm. I don't want to do anything about the knee just yet. I want to see if the weight loss helps first. I am going to make an appointment with the Orthopedist to have his look at my arm. It's been about 4 weeks and it's not getting better. I think I hurt it using one of the weight machines at the gym.

 

No scale update today. No scale in the hotel room.

 

That's OK. I know I'm feeling really good ODAT!

Keep up the good work and yes, it is funny how you notice how much other people eat. Not drinking you will get use to and then you will forget to drink. I have to remind myself, oh it has been a couple of hours since I drank something, I better get some water. Down 57lbs and feeling great. Good luck to you, Judy

It's good to hear that you are feeling well enough to go to a wedding. It is hard having to eat out of your home while still on the post op diet. It sounds like you are making it work for you. It won't be long until we move on to the next steps in diet and adapting to life with the band. Keep up the good work and best wishes to you!
