6/27/2006 (Tue): 6 days post-op

* Scale shows 267.2 lbs.

* Healing process is going well. No real trouble with gallbladder removal. Left side (band placement) is still tight which doesn't allow for fully standing upright yet but I'm getting there.

* Liquid diet sucks. Guess I'm just not "creative" enough to come up with alternative meal. Tired of drinking protein shakes and broth. Main difficulty seems to be gas ... sticking pains in my lower left side not readily cured by doses of Lortab elixer, Maalox, or Tums (ho-hum!)

* Chris assembled all laundry; thought I'd wash clothes today.
