I need help

so I have completely fallen off the wagon...as in sometimes I feel like I never even got this procedure done...I got to the point where I can eat whatever and how much ever I want...I am going for my first fill next Friday...does anyone have any advice on what I should do to prepare?   I heard someone about a pouch test? should I do that? and what exactly is that?..I dont want to go to the Dr to get my fill and I still am able to eat whatever because my pouch is stretched...I have no idea what to do...I am definitley disappointed in myself...but I am going to get back on track..just need some motivation and advice...anyone!?

day 9 post op!

prilosec otc seems to be working for me...thnk goodness...cause I was about to be very upset if I had to live with this pain for the rest of my life! I had my coffee and water when I woke up. Thought i was hungry, so I tried to have an egg...that didn't go very well..half a spoonful down and it hurt so bad, (I heard ur stomach is tighter in the mornings) ....protein shake is my new bestie! (dont get mad at me dfav)...I am starting to get really excited, now that I am sleeping and all my pain has pretty subsided. I feel like I have energy to actually go out and do something. I am ready to lose this baggage babee!!:smile:

day 5 post op

yesterday was my first day back at work...slightly tired and still a sore...didn't bring enough juice and other liquids other than water to keep me sane....:thumbup: (lesson learned)...I got home about 330 sat down, dozed off and didn't wake til 7pm! I then went back to bed at 11pm and woke up right before the alarm went off at 4a...guess my first day back wore me out. :eek:... I went and bought a package of cream o wheat for dinner. It was the best thing ive eaten, in what felt like an eternity. It went down smooth with no problems. I thanked God at that moment. :tt1:

hungry...

How sad is it that the kids were making pizza today for lunch, and the smell literally woke me up from my nap. My mouth immediately started to salivate and I started to cry. I am getting depressed and its only been 4 days...My fiance, bless his heart, leaves to eat.,,so he wont eat infront of me. He calls it a road trip lol.... cant wait to eat food....hurry up Friday!!!:smile2:

its 3am going into day 4

Its 3am and Im going into day 4 post op. I feel so much better today. Other than the non stop hunger pangs, I am pretty good. I am moving around alot better now. I even took a hot bath yesterday. I am still afraid to get my incisions wet, or even try to wash them. I think I will do that tonight. I need to take my cymbalta, its been 5 days. i am so scared it will get stuck
