I got my digital scale on amazon for 10 dollars. They are pretty cheap. It is easier for me to weigh stuff than have to dirty up measuring spoons and cups.

Sparklette you are amazing great job!!!

Oh hon I am sorry. I can totally relate. I didn't tell my mom until the month before and she spent the entire month trying to talk me out of it. I am sure your grandmother adores you and worries. There is so much ignorance about the surgery too. I know my mom thought right up until two days before that it was open not laproscopic. Try and educate your grandmother and I am sure she'll cone around. Praying for you!!

That explains what is going on with me. My pain is in the middle, not on the side. I was a band to rny conversion too and that was where my port was. I tried cutting back on pain meds today and paid the penalty...

You are right. I don't know why I was feeling like I had to cut back. I guess I was thinking I might get more pep back but in reality I just was in pain and weak and tired. I am going to cut myself some slack and listen to my body from now on. I just got done eating dinner and was able to eat 3 ounces of ricotta cheese which was nice. Tomorrow my goal is to get my Water in. I've only been getting in 6 - 7 glasses a day.

shelly's ricotta bake from the world according to eggface. I could eat 3 ounces and am stuffed.

I took some pain medication and it helped. I think I was trying to cut myself off too soon. I am in Florida so I am just walking my house too. Tv sucks and I can't concentrate to read. Maybe I will watch a movie soon.

I just feel so nauseated and weak. I ended up taking some pain medicine 15 minutes ago because I thought why fight it? My BP was a little high too and that can be a sign of pain. I don't know how you are going to work tomorrow. How far out are you? I really haven't had the " why did I do this to myself" until today. Im miserable and hope this bloated feeling passes. I keep walking my house and doing walking in place. It is way too hot to walk outside (Florida). Im just whiny and this isn't like me at all.

Me too!! I am fighting for energy right now. I am not eating enough at all but I just feel full all the time. I have a call out to ny nut right now to see what I can do for more energy. I have been trying to go all day without pain medicine but I think I might break down shortly. What are you guys eating? Nothing sounds good to me.

I have not taken any today either. I woke up and just felt full and bloated. I have been trying to make myself drink and eat. Not that great so far. I am hoping this afternoon is better than this morning. I have walked twice already today. I think that helps with the bloating..

Heparin shots to prevent blood clots. They didn't hurt one bit. Potassium IV is a whole other story...

It makes me laugh too because I was never that gassy. Now there are things that died on the Serangati that smell better than this. Eww. Perhaps I will invent charcoal panties. Lol I am just ready for this phase to end. Its bad enough with my husband but now me too? Lord save us all.

Since my surgery last week I have had the worst smelling gas. There shouldn't be anything in there. Anyone else have this going on? I have never passed so much stinky gas in ny life. Sorry Tmi.

I just took 2.5 ounces of grilled chicken and pureed it with warmed chicken broth 2 tablespoons) I had planned to eat the whole thing but ended up only eating 1.5 ounces. Amazing how full I feel. I saved the rest and will have it tomorrow for lunch. Ill have to supplement the protein tomorrow but it was yummy and satisfying.

What is amazing to me is the fact that I am just not hungry at all. I woke up at 6 this morning and so far today I've had the following and only because I am making myself eat / drink regularly: 6:30 a.m.: 1 ounce plain greek yogurt with 1 ounce sugar free apple sauce mixed together. I mix in my crushed bp pill so no taste 10:30 a.m.: 1 scoop vanilla

my program encourages skim milk. I am drinking 4 to 6 ounces for my "snacks" every day.

What about beans?
