More pain today

It seems like I have a ton more pain today than I have yet had. I was banded LAST Thursday and thought by now I'd be back on my feet.

I have been working all week and I have been tired and a little tender but nothing I couldn't handle. I don't get enough Fluid and I know I'm not getting enough protien. Yesterday was so crazy that I had 2 yogurts, a cup of coffee, and 1 bottle of Water all day! I had to do the "activity sponsor" thing at school last night and so my day began at 7am going to work and I got home at 10:15pm. It was definitely not in my best interest! Obviously food is not the only thing I can't say no to.

My port site seems to be swelling and is very tender to the touch. I took off work early and just took some codine to try to knock it (and me) out. I'm assuming that I just overdid last night. I was so crazy all night that there were times that I forgot and bent over to grab something or walked a little too fast.

I really don't want to have to drive the 6 hours to my surgeon because I over did when I shouldn't have. I'm going to put my feet up, take a rest, and hope that all is mending when I wake.

Word to the wise, take it easy.....don't be an idiot like me.
