One Week Banded

I am at the one week mark....yay! Now that I am getting over this cold I got post-op (thanks to my sweet children at home), I am feeling much better. I had some pain at my port site for a few days, but even that has subsided. Overall, I feel fantastic.

 

Last night, I cooked dinner for the rest of the family, did some cleaning and then relaxed. At work, I just get up and move around throughout the day. I took just two days off (Thursday and Friday). I had a lot of work to come back to, so I'm glad I didn't have to take off more time! The only rough day was the first day back. It was not fun being sore, having a cold, and just wanting to be back at home.

 

I am still living on my instant potatoes, protein shakes, natural applesauce, and light yogurt. And, I"m okay with that. The scale really hasn't moved much the past couple days, but I'm okay with that. Now, if only I could stop jumping on it 4 times a day!

 

How is everyone else doing?

    Glad that you are feeling better! Once you start getting into a normal diet (and get on a fill schedule), things will really start falling into place.

    Thank you, LoseIt! Smilchic, I know what you mean about the water. I kept drinking the first 4 or 5 days, then the past couple, I have had to push myself to get liquids in!
