So I had some bleeding from my incision. The main one that is centered, where u bend your body when u sit. That one started bleeding today. I washed it with peroxide and put neosporin on it and covered it with gauze and a big band aid. I got so nervous. The other incisions have all healed nicely. This one had very thin skin and was slowly stabbing. Now, the incision line is looking better but the center of it there's a tiny hole where it is oozing from. It seems to have slowed down but I'm still wondering if anyone else has dealt with this? I'm 3 weeks post op. 

Had a great day today. Didn't get any overflow in my stomach and had a about 30 g of protein from one shake alone. I had one scrambled egg today for lunch and ate half of it. I had a piece of salmon for dinner I had about 6 tiny chopped up pieces and I was full. I like to try new things and I also had some smashed sweet potato. It felt good to have substance instead of just a yogurt. I am down 14 lbs and I am excited to go back to work Monday !! 

I just have to remember to drink throughout the day. I just don't know when enough is enough because I love to drink the crystal light but I'm afraid to over drink but I know they want me at 64 oz a day. Ugh the struggle is real! 

So I'm about a week out. I've had some decent weight loss so far (12lbs) but I am getting stuck with the mind over matter of eating the right way. I Have my yogurt , farina with a splenda, I even had mashed potato mixed with gravy and really tiny shreds of chicken breast.  

The protein has been hard to really get down. I even tried blending a protein shake with some non fat Greek yogurt and a piece of banana to give it some substance. But i can't get myself to drink it all day. And today i had too much in one sitting and had to throw it up. I am understanding the feeling of being full. But I'm still eating with my eyes. That's my hardest struggle. 

Any tips on awesome post op --1-2 weeks --recipes or tips would be great !!
