Post Op Day 16 (March 3rd)

Wow how time flies! It's been a pretty good week. I think I'm at about 98% now. I can sleep on both sides and I only have pain a tiny bit, and usually just at the port site, and usually only when I bend over at the waist.. So basically nothing to think about.

I have had a fair # of PBs this past week, but they are 100% my fault for trying to eat a wide variety of things.. Right now I am using water and LOTS of chewing to take "regular" food and make it conform to the "mushy" stage I should be at. From time to time I catch myself not doing it right, and then it's PB time. Honestly that just highlights the bad eating habits that got me here in the first place (eating fast and not paying attention). I see it as part of the re-education process.

Still haven't tested out beer yet, but that is coming too.

All of the scars, except for the port site, are going to just fade away nicely. The port site has scared a bit, but it looks like it's going to settle down and maybe just take longer to fade. But honestly, if I get to lose 80-100 lbs, I can suffer through one small scar on the belly!!

I continue to slowly lose, but it certainly has slowed recently, but that is fine. 1-2/wk is the target, and I am still without a fill.

Cheers!
