12 days post op

Nov 03, 2009

Well I made it through surgery and am doing just fine.  I still hurt a little bit but nothing that I can't handle.  The day that I went into surgery I was 370 lbs.  Today I weighed 353, so I am down 17 lbs.  I guess that is good for 12 days.  I go for post op tomorrow with the surgeon.  I hope that he takes the "G" tube (feeding tube) out.  It is getting on my nerves.  I will also be glad to get the staples out they are getting sore and irritated by rubbing on the stomach band.  I am trying to get all of my liquids and protein in.  I am doing a pretty good job most of the time.  I have had a few issues a day or two, but for the most part get all of it in. It takes me about an hour to drink one of my protein shakes in the morning and before this I used to gulp liquid down, I am a drinker, I loved drinking soda, juice, water, it didn't matter, now I can only sip sip sip.  It is hard getting used to.  I also want a PEPSI so bad.  I was a Pepsi addict, I drank at least one a day before surgery and now I am craving it bad.  Crystal light just don't take the place of a good cold Pepsi.  But I feel good about it because I have not even thought about cheating, that is not an option.  Anyway, just wanted to check in gotta go.
