Today's my first post-op visit

I'm off to the doctor in about 15 minutes.  FIrst post-op at 6 days.  Had the surgery Friday - today's Wed.  I'm hoping he'll put me back on solids.  Lord knows I've tried a few things already with zero issues.  I'm hungry!  Lol.

I can't wait to see how much weight I've already lost since my pre-op diet started nearly two weeks ago now.  I do feel like I'm losing.  I'm just not sure how much.  It's been up and down due to swelling, mostly.  I'm going to guess 8 lbs., hoping it's more.  That way I won't be dissapointed.  Watch it be 5 lbs.  Ha ha.  I'm going to weigh myself right before leaving, so I have some idea of how close the scales are.

I'm going to mention this little "hiccup" think I often do if I eat a few bites in a row - even of something liquid.  I often have to consume a glass of water to make it stop.  Annoying, but not the worst thing I've ever experienced.

I had to take off all the bandages - I think I was allergic to them.  Was itching like crazy, and there were areas that were blistering and the skin was raw.  My steri-stips look okay, though.  One has already fallen off and that area looks very good.  I can feel my port now.  I knew where it was before, but I couldn't feel it.  It's actually just next to the area that the wound is - so may I wasn't feeling the right area before.

I'm making baked chicken tonight.  It's my hope that I'll be allowed to have some dark meat chicken and a bit of broccoli.  I'm assuming I'll get a fill today.
