One week later.....

One week later and I went back to work today. It went pretty good. I'm having no real pain, except for a tiny spot, near wear the port is ( I can't feel the port, so I'm just guessing, but I know it's in the general area). It feels like when I've stretched/pulled what I think is scar tissue where I had my gall-bladder out. It is more annoying than anything. I have my follow-up with the surgeon tomorrow morning, so I'll ask him about it. I'm not too worried about it though.

The good news, is that when I went to the gym today to walk on the treadmill, I weighed myself. I hadn't weighed myself, since 6 days before my surgery. Today, I weighed 10 lbs less. I almost fell off the scale! I'm sure it's mostly water, but that's okay. I'll take it. :cool2:

I tell you, I am really still looking forward to being able to eat. ...even the soft-food stage will be nice. Yesterday's crave, was cheese nachos like you get and it's the cheese sauce. Even though I keep thinking about food, I know that I need to make better choices and be smart when I do eat those "bad" foods.

Hope everyone is doing well. :thumbup:

Way to go on the 10 lbs!! That is awesome!! Once you eat foods some of the "bad" foods will get out of your head. Also, I learned over time that I gave into my cravings. I found that I only needed a bite or two of that craving to satisfy the craving otherwise I would eat the entire cupboard as well as the craving. I wish you the very best on your journey! Take care!

Thanks. I kindof don't really have any cravings anymore, since I've been able to eat some soft foods. I'm just trying to be really smart about what I am eating. Hope you're doing well also.
