Week one post-op done!

Yeah! Got through the first week with only pain in my left side, so intense when I moved that I had to stop my daily walks. I thought it was from the port, but found out it's a stubborn gas bubble! Back to walking for me...only way to get those nasty bubbles out!

I caught myself today reverting back to an old habit. I made 2 packages of sugar free jello in a big bowl and sat down to have some. I was watching TV and didn't realize how much I ate until I was way past the normal serving size. I was very careless. Now had this been anything else, I could have gotten sick. So, note to self - portion out what I am going to eat and no eating in front of the TV. It's so easy to fall into the mindless grazing for me, so I must be very diligent.

On a good note, I am down 20lbs from the start of the pre-op diet (7/13), my clothes are lose and even my face is getting smaller! Now that I can do protien shakes, my energy level is much higher and I am getting a lot more done!
