All the glue has come off all the incisions, and they are all healing nicely and fading except for the big one which is kind of raised up and not healed as much. That one had a huge bruise all around it and still has a little bit of one. The doctor said that’s the incision they had to “dilate” and make bigger, and it’s the one they pulled the removed stomach out of. That was where all my pain has been. It is very minor now, but still aches if I try to flex that area or bend down a certain way. The dr. said that I probably had bruising like that all through the muscle and tissue under the incision too.

No food or beverage has made me feel ill yet which is good. A lot of people can’t handle certain foods, but for me so far so good. 

I found I am not craving food as much. Also when Paul eats something, I dip my finger in it and it seems to help with the jealousy. It’s all in my head though, because I really do not want it. Like today he went to taco bueno and got a Mexican platter, so I dipped my finger in everything on his platter that was dippable (Cheese dip, guacamole, salsa, sour cream, refried beans) and had a lick of all that and was satisfied. It didn’t bother me that he ate it really. I was drinking a protein shake and was pretty full. 

Some people on the forum are posting that they can eat 4 – 5 chicken nuggets, that they eat a whole thick pizza slice, or a few thin crust. One woman said she ate everything she wanted (ice cream, chips, cake) but it was never very much and it never affected her weight loss. I hope I can be like that.
