My Pain Level Update And Some Things I'm Looking Forward To...

Two days out and I've changed my bandaids on my still mildly fresh incisions. Very little bleeding, and they are starting to itch a bit, which is a good sign they are healing. I still have abdominal pain and I feel like I can feel the band in my body when I breathe in deep.

I skipped my Protein Shake today- not because I forgot, but because I keep looking at the powder and it just doesn't seem very appetizing mixed with water...stuck to Crystal Light Peach Iced Tea (supposed to be really good for your skin) but I got really hungry, but was able to ignore the hunger because my stomach hurt more.

Went to work today, came home early because I was feeling nauseous. Will try and go back tomorrow, but I really don't feel like it.

Things I'm looking forward to...

1. I've been perving out on this website (can be found on my blog http://skin-e-girl.blogspot.com/ ) because it has amazing photographs of food and most are very healthy. Its inspired me to start my own herb garden- which will force me to get outside and do some productive physical activity.

2. For the pain to finally go away fully and for quick recovery (no more scars, no more hard belly, no more feeling the band inside my body- I want to feel like its not even there)

3. I can't wait for this liquid diet to end in less than 2 weeks. My boyfriend says its really killing him to see me not eat anything and I keep assuring him I'm fine with just liquids and I can't eat solids yet. But I seriously can't wait to eat a spoonful of Peanut Butter or oatmeal...
