An off day

The last two days have been brilliant. I was feeling good and back to my normal self. Now today, I just feel blah.   I am exhausted, which has to do with a random gas-in-chest episode that woke me up at 5 and had me up until 7 so I know I didn't get enough sleep. But I also have a headache for the first time.   I expected headaches when I went off caffeine three weeks ago, but they never came. I think today's is in relation to the weather. It went from 90 and humid to high 70s and rainy.

Here I am; now what?

I was banded on Wednesday and have lost 17 pounds since starting my pre-op diet.   I feel like I am in a holding pattern at the moment. All clear liquids, no real working out, not even doing projects around the house. So what do I do for two weeks?   And I am hungry today for the first time since starting all this. My tummy is making all kinds of noise. It's pouring out so I can't go for a walk. Grrr.   I just keep repeating "This will be worth it."   It will be, right?
