Feeling so good!!
Aug 03, 2008
I am 13 pounds down today, and I am wearing a shirt I haven't had on in awhile. My jeans are just a bit looser...small victories but they mean a lot to me! I feel like I'm going in the right direction now! I'm eating a lot of fish and veggies...tried some moist roasted chicken yesterday and it was wonderful.
Heading back to work tomorrow for "teacher work week" - got a mini fridge for my classroom so I feel really prepared to stay on track with all the correct foods.

Six days out!

Okay, I stepped on my new scale this morning, and it read 250! That's 10 pounds in a week!! I know it's just the post-op liquid thing, but it is still amazing and wonderful to see the numbers move!!
Feeling a lot better, although still bloated and gassy. I guess that's just hanging around for awhile! I'm able to drink a lot more in one sitting now...8 oz of water or Crystal Light, 1/2 cup of creamy soup. I'm also sleeping much better...got myself one of those 6-ft "body pillows" yesterday and love it! I've also found that my head does not need to be so elevated - hopefully it's the beginning of the END of nighttime reflux!! Hurray for hiatal hernia repair!!
Can't wait to start feeling a difference in my clothes!

Four days post-op

Feeling much better today. I figured out last night that part of my problem was hunger! I made the leap from clear liquids to pudding and yogurt, and that made a big difference! Still some gassy pain in my back and ribcage, but Gas-X seems to help a bit.
Tomorrow I will be heading to Target to purchase a bathroom scale, since my curiosity is killing me!!

Underwent Lap-Band surgery on Tuesday, July 15. No complications, other than some serious gassy pain in back and ribs. Also experienced pain after drinking. That pain continued over yesterday and last night, so I went in to have fluid removed today. Things are so much better now and I was pleasantly surprised that I didn't feel a thing when he poked my port. :) Also thrilled to be down 5 pounds when they weighed me!! My back and ribcage are still sore, but hopefully that will pass quickly!
