5/7 11 days since banding

I'm really starting to feel like myself now, with the exception of the pain I have on my left side after I "eat" something that goes right up my side into my neck. I haven't been having the 6 full liquid meals that I am supposed to be having instead I am having more like 3. Today I am going to try to get all 6 in. So far I have had a greek yogurt and instant breakfast light. For some reason I thought the weight would be falling off, but it isn't. I have lost about 6 lbs since my surgery and I think in part it is due to the fact that I haven't been getting all my protein in. I have gone to the boardwalk to walk only 2 times this week. I am going to see if DH wants to go after he gets home from work. I miss having him home all day with me. I'll be heading back to work next Monday after my Dr appointment and clearance to return to work. Monday also brings my to my mushy stage. I am a little apprehensive about that because I will start to eat real food and am afraid that I will again make poor choices. I am going to try to commit to logging all my food, hopefully here. One of the reasons for this is not only to make myself accountable for my actions, but to help others on their journeys. Have a nice day to all.
