[b]08/26/2011[/b] - felt really good so I decided to ride to walmart with my sister - [b]bad idea[/b]... to many bumpy roads. I am much sore now.
(1) Still NOT hungry!!!
(2) Holding to clear liquids as ordered; today was my 1st day to add a protein shake - I could no finish it in 1 sitting...

[b]08/27/2011 -[/b] still sore and feel a gas bubble in center of chest and left shoulder - I will continue to walk and take gas-x + I will send hubbie to get me some peppermint tea.
(1) Still not physically hungry [u]but mentally I could eat... [/u]so each time I think of tasting something I drink clear liquids or a protein shake... the human mind is extraordinary!

[b]08/30/2011 - [/b]first day back to work and really sore sitting in same spot- still not really hungry it is more my mind reminding me of my old eating habits throughout day- so I am sticking to post op diet.
[b]09/08/2011 - [/b]Feeling stronger, strength definitely back! walking on treadmill 3 x's a week while increasing momentum gradually. Starting to feel hungry -t rying to pick good choice muchies food. Must STOP weighing myself daily - as it is depressing since sale not moving much anymore but inches are coming off!
