I have never really felt any restriction since the swelling subsided after surgery. So I was looking forward to my first fill.  It was on Monday.  I had to have liquids only that day and on the second day creamy soups were ok.  Today is the first day on regular food and I already screwed up. (not really but....) For the first time I really know what restriction means.  My family ate one of my favorite foods last night and I figured I could have some after midnight.  Well dumb me wasnt paying attention to the amount just the flavor....LOL.  I didn't realize how much it would hurt and what a nasty feeling it was going to be when the food was coming back up the way it just went down.  Uncomfortable was not even a very accurate word for it.  YUCK!  Well I learned my lesson and quick too.  Luckily enough, I chew, chew, chewed and the feeling passed within about half an hour later. 
I am very  glad I learned my lesson early in my new life change.  I guess  I am one of those people that have to do it just once before I believe anything I read.  DUH! 
Other than that I am down 13 lbs since surgery and the race is on!  Thanks for listening...

Well....I'm sore.  The port site is the sore spot..  I'm glad to have the pain meds.  My boss stopped by and told me to take a couple of extra days becaue I had planned to go back to work tomorrow.  So I'm going back Thurdsay.  I think i could make it tomorrow but I have to go back to the Dr. on Wednesday. Its a three hour drive to the office so I would have to take the day off anyway.  My job is physically not demanding.  I will add more later.  =) I still am convinced that I did the right thing.  No regrets. =)
