Oww! I can really tell where my port site is! More pain then I expected. Not eating isn't an issue, trying to get all my protein in is! I feel "full" pretty much all the time. I actually ate some cream of wheat last night and could really tell when I was full, one bite past was too much. It's amazing, still haven't lost any (post surgery swelling, gain) but it will come and Im sure fast at first! I just hope this pain will pass and I will be able to get all the nutrition in that my body needs!

When I said last week my life was going to change! Wow! not like it will tomorrow! Banding day! Im so excited and nervous and can't sleep! I've been overweight since I was 11 and can't wait to see the person I know I can be! And want to be! I want to hike without running out of breath, wear normal size clothes, not have my little girl say "you're fat". Just how kids are, they say it like it is! I will be strong! For her and for myself! Just her and I will get through this time of adjustment in my life! YEE HAH!!!

My life changes tommorrow morning....I never REALLY realized how much an emotional tie food is to me! I starting thinking about what I couldn't eat, how can I survive on a liquid, protein drink only diet for 1 WEEK!?? I start tommorrow morning and am so committed to this that I will do it! I can be strong for myself and my daughter. These feelings are weird and new to experience, I want a different life full of activity and new experiences. I can overcome this tie to food!
