I completely utterly absolutely blew it
We've have all been in that very same place. I was right there with you tonight. I had done very well all day long..and dang it if I did blow all my good intentions and have a piece of pumpkin cake that I made..I had already ate and in no way was I hungry. I wish I had the info on why food has such a hold on us. But I found some good things tonight about myself. I did exercise for 30 mins, I didn't eat after 7p and I did have 16 ozs of water this evening. So Callie, we are just going to have to stick together and beat this demon together. Find some good things out of the bad things we do. Tomorrow is a new day to try and break our bad habits.

8 days postop..is this normal?
I am really surprised at the exercise decree by your doc. My doc specifically said take it easy and only do some slow walking the first couple of weeks. He said no heavy exercising until after 6 weeks.

2 week pre op diet
Dr. B was my doctor. The Surgery Center does the fills. They are extremely good at it. I have had 3 fills so far. Never had a moments problem with them. You do have to do 48 hours of liquids and then 48 hours of mushies after every fill. I am usually in and out in under an hour and a 1/2.
