Hungry!

12 Days post op today.

I am hungry! I'm almost always hungry. My bet is the swelling around the lap band is almost gone or completely gone. I should be able to eat soft food now but I'm gonna stick to the doctors orders and start my soft food diet on Saturday, on day 15 or 2 weeks after the operation. Maybe I should begin on Friday hmm. Gonna think about it.

I've begun to gain weight again! I am not eating that much over the day, about 1000 Cal I think. I'm not trying to starve myself, It's just difficult to get Calories from fluids. But I think the body is trying to hold on to every energy it can get.

I talked about this in my last blog, the weight. Of course it's on my mind. That's why I had the surgery but I'm going to keep calm and positive about this and I know once I start on soft food, the body will get more energy source and also I will be allowed to go out for walks and burn some of them calories enemies.

I removed ALL bandages yesterday and put some new ones over the scars so that they will heal properly. I'm really really pleased with how they look.

The larges scar is very well healed and I actually don't think anyone would notice that if they saw my bare stomach (not like that's gonna happen anytime soon haha). It even made me think if my doctor had done some plastics hmm..

The only real problem I have now is that after sitting at work for 8 hours, I am full with gas, like everywhere. It hurts all the way up to my shoulders. Today I tried to stand up and walk around a few times today and it helped.

Also my bra feels so tight that I am always trying to adjust it (without looking like I'm touching my boobs haha) I hope that will go away soon. Oh that brings me back to the beginning of this blog.. I guess I'm still swollen since this is bugging me hmm.

That's all for now
