Alrighty today is day 5 going on day 6 post op and I am feeling great I have lost a toatl of 20 pounds since I started my clear liquid diet pre op, 263 looks amazing I am so motivated! My mom who wasnt to supportive of the whole LaBand has even made some good remarks about how you can see the weight loss. I still get up shower and go run errands but i dont feel like doing my hair and make up just yet. Today I also got my 1 year old back and wow she is more of a handful then I remember!!! The weather here sucks it is getting up to 114 and i cant go outside without feeling horrible!!! I have been eating soups not the super healthy ones, but potato and brocli w cheese soup and I take maybe 5 bites at the most and im full! I also eat tons of sugar free popsicles just for the flavor! I can feel my food going through my port and sometimes if i swallow to fast or drink to fast I have a small sharp pain in my chest but it only takes a few seconds to go away. i have also had a couple of crackers i chewed chewed chewed and they went down fine, all the soups and water have my stomache on edge and I just needed something heavier to help me feel better.<- there I go making an excuse as to why I ate something bad! Anyways As for soreness I am a little tender ive been lifting my baby and chasing her with no problem. Like I said before I have a goal in mind and no pain will stop me!!!!
