18 Days Post Op / 01MAR2011

Mar 01, 2011

So I started soft foods a little early but not really. Okay, 4 days. I made some Ricotta Bake and it was soooooo good. I can say that I definitely feel restriction now. I think the first time I had it, I probably ate about 3 oz. Big mistake. I was so full I couldn't get my protein shake in. The second time, I had about 2 oz and that was just about right. I'm still trying to learn how to slow down. It is imperative that I get that through my thick brain.

I went to lunch with ma today and we went to the Ale House. She ordered fish & chips and we subbed mashed potatoes. I had about 2 T of potatoes (if that) and about 2 oz of tilapia (fried/bad). Definitely too much food again. On top of that, I got a little nauseated. I think it was from the greasy tilapia but it passed about 1/2 hour later. It's really hard to look at that amount of food as filling you up. Pretty wild. Thankfully, I haven't had any real nausea or vomiting.

I did get up in the middle of the night a couple of days ago thinking I would chug some milk. REALLY bad idea! It got about mid chest and came right back up. It wasn't like vomiting, it just kinda burped back up. Note that this was the same night I had the 3 oz of ricotta bake. Hmmmm....I think I'm onto something here. Girl genious!

Overall, things are well. My drain incision is officially closed so I don't dress it anymore. I've bought a couple of adorable aniticipation sundresses. I think dresses are easier esp while losing weight. I can't wait to model them.

If I recall correctly, Dr. Aceves told us not to fight the sleeve because the sleeve will always win!

I owe a video soon too. Just ordered a new camera so I should get that up in a couple of days.
