I'm feeling pretty well. I did quite a bit of walking today. I haven't taken any pain meds since last night and I didn't take very much then. I am still a little sore. I slept in the bed for the first time last night instead of the chair. It was pretty good. I used a pillow against my stomach and laid on my side and even mostly on my tummy for a little bit too. I did still have pain when I moved around some. Also, getting up and down from chairs and bending still hurts. My incisions are healing nicely. They are starting to itch. I have a pretty gigantic bruise around one of the incisions too. My daughter was horrified to see it, but she insisted... haha

I haven't stuck to my "not weighing myself until the 2 week appointment" thing. This morning I was down all my surgery gaining minus 4 more pounds. It is really exciting! I want to get a daily planner and start tracking how much exercise I do and also my weight. I'm questioning the weight thing though... I don't want to be soooo focused on weight that it's almost an obsession. I just want to be healthy. Maybe I will do weekly weight and measurements? I'm not sure... I for sure want to track how many minutes I'm exercising and how often though.

Today I've kind of had an issue with getting enough water in. I've been keeping busy so kind of let it slide. Now I'm to the point where I'm feeling thirsty... which makes me want to take big drinks of water and make the thirst go away. HA, not cool. It hurts and gurgles and bubbles on the way down. It's so strange!

Also, I ate two "bad" things since my surgery. Both caused me to get pretty bad diarrhea.

The first was a cheese soup with sour cream and Velveeta in it... which is fatty and not a good choice, but it did fit under my category so I had a few bites. It was SOOOO good too haha.

The second one was the Jell-O/cream cheese part off the top of a pretzel salad (last night). Jell-O is on my list so I thought it would be ok even though I knew cream cheese wasn't a good choice.

I don't mind that I got bad reactions to both. I have learned my lesson and that will help me from making those bad choices in the future.
