I have not journaled since before surgery. The trip was good. We accidentaly drove into Mexico instead of parking in the San Diego side. Thankfully, Rene came and got us and drove my mom's car to the hotel. The hotel was awesome, Dr. Ortiz and his staff were awesome. The surgery went very well. I did have sensitivity to the anesthesia so I vomitted 2 times after surgery. I went home on Saturday and helped drive home on Sunday since my mom was so tired she was falling asleep!!:faint:

I had bad gas pains the first 3 days. I don't have gas pains today. I felt good enough yesterday to get frsky!!:nervous I was very hungry yesterday and got clearance to eat cream soups from Dr. Miranda, but when I tried, 2 small spoonfuls made me feel FULL. It was that dreaded head hunger I hear so much about. I just felt super tight and restricted when I woke up. I had a cup of Gano Mocha coffee and soymilk. That made me feel very full. I had the two bites of cream of chicekn and couldn't do anymore. I actually felt super full after one, but just wanted to see if that was really what I was feeling.

Also, I had not drank enough fluids so I was really thirsty not hungry. I am going to keep liquid near me at all times and sip, sip, sip!!

This is what I have had so far today:

EMOTIONS I AM FEELING TODAY

I am feeling really good today. The only thing I feel is restriction and like something is squeezing my stomach. I feel so full that I keep on taking that "sigh" I usually take when I have eaten more than enough. I feel happy and at peace. I am also praying and fasting during this time.

EXERCISE TODAY

As of 11 am,none yet! Walking around the house and cleaned up a bit, washed dishes. This proved to be too much because I got very, very tight.

SUPPLEMENTS TODAY

1 tbsp. of liquid vitamins

FLUID INTAKE TODAY

20 ounces of Crystal Light

30 ounces CL

I think Feb. 16 is 6 weeks. I will see if I can get a fill then.

I felt really restricted in the evening, like I couldn't drink anything. I felt like I had to sit up to get in a deep breath like when you are full. It felt better after the Carnation drink I had it warm.
