I'm just about to go on my walk and then have lunch afterwards. Last night I was so tired and I think it's the shock of the diet, plus yesterday they took a ton of blood from me for pre-surgery testing, plus my walk. A slight headache today.
 
I've been using the Vanilla Slim Time and have added a packet of raspberry crystal light. DELISH
 
As a snack I've been using Unjury chicken soup...also well worth the money.
 

BAHAHAHA! I am so silly! How is everyone? I know I've been quiet on here lately but I've been so busy at both jobs. When I get home I just want to work out and sleep!
 
Confession time..... I don't like needles and yet I pick the surgery that requires needles. LOL
 
Anyway yesterday I had my first fill and it was not bad at all. I didn't look just relaxed.
 
I forgot there isn't alot of protein in full liquids.... So I brought some tomato soup and added a 1/2 of serving of plain greek yorgurt.
 
For dinner me and Fun Boy had a greek yogurt. Beleive or not this keep fill until 830 this morning.
 
Anyway I finally found my port on my own! It is funny how the little things bring me enjoy!
 
God is good
 
Thanks for reading.

Mkay I suppose this is a good place to track my experiences and maybe look back on them at some point?
I am one week post op and I am feeling better than expected. I have a lot of gassy stomach discomfort, but continue to follow the liquid diet as instructed. I get to have full liquids tomorrow which I am quite excited about! (yay) Surprisingly I am not starving like I thought I would be, but it may be because I am so bloated. I am constantly drinking something and I have this "Belly Gas."
So far this week alone I have lost 9.3 lbs! I do realize that is because I am not eating any real food, but I will take the victory anyway.
I still have some discomfort and continue to take my pain medication - though stretching out the times I take it. I also use a heating pad on my stomach which is very soothing. I am excited to move on with this journey and hope I keep the strength and determination to do what I am supposed to do. I would love to be at a comfortable place (weight-wise) by October when I go on a cruise. Haha! I know it is one day at a time, but it is still a nice thought
Will try to remember to update this blog next week... to update on my weekly progress/thoughts.
