I cant believe I made it a whole week. Boy, has it been up/down/up/down all week. One minute, I feel great, the next I feel like crap!

I have no idea about how much weight ive lost because I don't really care. I just want to get on with life. I've thought about getting a scale a couple times, and then, I 'm like...naaa. I will get weighed next Tues at my follow up, so i'll have a nice surprise.

I still feel bloated and blah. I have the worst case of constipation and the milk of magnesia didn't do anything to touch that. I'm just going to address is with my surgeon on Tuesday.

My incisions look good but are starting to itch!! I'm still trying to pull tape off of random places in my bodies. I have wicked looking bruises from every time blood was drawn and the heprin shots!!  I have 6inch bruises on my arms from those things!

I can drink a whole lot more than the first couple days pre-op which makes this fluid and protein thing easier.

Today my stomach has decided it doesn't like protein shakes. Every time I take a sip, it starts cramping and gurgling like crazy! Earlier, it was making me nauseous. Oh well, i'm sure this will pass.

I'm looking forward to the next week, and getting stronger and more energy back.

There is a song by Jimmie Eats World I hum to myself --

"Hey, don't write yourself off yet, It's only in your head you feel left out or looked down on.  Just try your best, try everything you can.  And don't you worry what they tell themselves when you're away.  It just takes some time, little girl you're in the middle of the ride. Everything (everything) will be just fine, everything (everything) will be alright (alright)."

One week down, a WHOLE life to go.  Take some time, and if I "ear wormed" you, I am glad & sorry - depending on how you like or dislike this song!

HUGS!!!

I just had my first full day of protein and it feels great.

They gave me the heprin shots on my tummy, so it looks like someone kicked the crap outta me.

I feel very bloated and blah since I came home. Feel a little better after some soup, yogurt and a protein drink today.

It will get better for us!
