Day 5 post op

Itchy itchy itchy!! The bandages were driving me crazy (the big white ones) but my doctor gave me permission to remove them on Monday May 11th. Today I gave up, removed them and ohhh gosh it felt so good! I still have bandages over the stitches so I have to be careful about them.

I've been drinking a lot of water today and been careful eating on schedule so now I don't feel that hungry as yesterday.

And I can burp! and I loved it! There came a huge burp and it was such a relief! Glad I was alone in the room because it would have been borderline rude to burp like that haha.

I went to the store today and I was exhausted after it and went to have a nap when I came back. I have no energy to do anything. So happy I decided to stay home from work for a full week.

I'm learning how to bring more calories to my liquid diet, like adding butter to my soups. I would never do that before, ever!

But I 'm longing for some food! real Food. Can't wait until I get to taste some again. I'm dreaming about food but I know that my life with food will never be the same again and I actually look forward to a healthy relationship with food! And to finally feel full!

Because before the lap band, I hardly ever felt full, except when I went to a buffet haha.
