Dulci

Started back to work yesterday. I am surprised at how tiring working all day has been. My job is sedentary and sitting at a computer all day hurts by the end of the day.

Cleared for soft foods today! For dinner I had refried beans and taco seasoned ground turkey - both with a smidge of low fat cheddar and ff sour cream. It was delish and so filling. I love my band.

Day 4 -- I'm feeling good today. Had two of the three protien shakes and I am hungry. I just can't face another shake. I have one vial of 45gram protien shot. I think I will dilute it with water and drink some as a bedtime snack. I see the doctor and nutrionist on Tuesday and. I can advance my diet then. It's been almost three weeks of no solid food.

I want Halloween candy, but I will pass on the temptation, especially since I'm only 3 days post-op.

Day 3 - I have been really gassy today, belching constantly. I have been sleeping a lot today.

Crushed Zyrtec is very bitter. Liquid or sublingal will be purchased tomorrow.

Day 2 - the surgery wasn't bad at all. The gas is more annoying than painful. My poor belly button has been the access point for a surgery for it's fourth time. No matter how thin I get, no bikinis are my future.

Banded on 10/28/11. Feeling pretty good and very happy to be home from the hospital.

I am so ready for my surgery date to finally be here. Only 11 days!

I'm really not enjoying the preop diet. I hope it gets easier.
