Choo Choo!

Well Im chuggin right along. I am now 6 days post op from my lap band. Id have to say that the hardest part has got to be the gas pains in my shoulders and back. Some in my tummy. But I just take in my Gas-X strips and walk. It goes away. But sure isnt fun when Im trying to sleep. I was sent home from the hospital with liquid hydrocodone but havent really needed that since day 2. Ive been searching the boards and websites for good creamy soups etc I can have right now.

My diet plan until 10/18 is a semi liquid diet. So creamy soups, yogurt, cottage cheese, jello, pudding, protein shakes and lots of water. All sugar free of course and really I dont miss the sugar. I use splenda if I need a little sweetness but most flavors are enhanced big time right now anyway. :-)

I go back to work tomorrow. Most of my coworkers no nothing other than I was on vacation. There are a few trusted that I have told but for the most part I have kept it to myself.

Today I will beef up my exercise to 35-45 mintues. Just walking and light toning exercises. I love walking tapes.

More to come....
