Well my drive to the dentist wasn't bad at all, glad i went. I went to my post op appt. yesterday and I am down 2 lbs from when I weighed right before I went to the hospital. I don't know weather to count the 8 I gained in the hospital or just go by what I weighed before I went. So he said my incision and little punctures looked good. I was hoping he would take my little strips off but he said to leave them on til they fell off could be another week UGH! They are starting to itch .I feel good as far as pain I don't think I have taken any pain med since Monday. I just don't have a lot of energy. I am sleeping on my stomach now and have been since Wed night . I was able to sleep on my side about 2 or 3 days post op., which was sooo nice because I am not a back sleeper at least not ALL night. He told me I could move to blended foods :clap2:I am so very thankful I just don't know if I could have another cup of broth. I go back to see him in 3 weeks.

So this morning I had two scrambled eggs with cheese, and let me tell you just how good they were. I ate slow ,and chewed and chwed even though they were pretty much already mush. (Practicing for the real thing). I am so afraid I will forget and swallow a big unchewed bite and suffer the consequenses. I didn't feel full probably could of eaten more but I didn't. I am going to buy some canned spinach today and add 2 tbsp to my scrambled eggs tommorrow. I could of had 2tbsp of a low carb veg from MY LIST but didn't have the spinach. For lunch I will have 3 oz chicken (white meat) with some lowfat mayo and blend it up in my wonderful new Magic Bullet. , with some blended green beans. For dinner probably the same thing since I'm opening up a can of green beans I hate to waste the rest of the can, and the chicken is already pulled from a roasted chicken. I will continue this stage for 4 more days which is a little sooner than the 7 days it says in the book, but for some reason I was told to move on a little sooner.

I am going to walk today for the first time, I could have been walking sooner and I guess I should have. But will start slow and work my way up.I am down to 266.8 which is a loss of 17 lbs since my pre- op diet 2 weeks ago.I am very happy with that but I just don't really feel it. I guess when you are as big as me it takes more than that to really tell, or maybe because I am still a little bloated feeling from the surgery.

266.8
