Almost end of week 2, have been feeling great, no pain barely any discomfort and can drink my Water at a decent pace. When I hit my water goal, barely hungry. Tomorrow I start my pureed/mushy stage, excited to try the recepies I have seen online for this stage.

Hello everyone, had my 1st meal outside of liquid, not sure why I chose chili aside from my team saying we could have it. I took my sweet time eating it (about 40 minutes), chewing one bean 50 times and checking my body for signals, I added 2 oz of broth to thin it out and dilute the spices. I was able to have 1oz when I got a hiccup and since that is one of the full signals, I stopped immediately. I'm monitoring myself like crazy to check for anything out of sorts, but I will skip it for a few meals to try things maybe with a little less spice.

Hope everyone is having a great start of their weeks!

I am putting myself back on full liquids for a few days. I was put on soft foods (not pureed) on Nov. 28th, but the last few days my stomach seems to be more upset. I figure maybe I need to restart, slow down, and watch my intake a bit better.

It could also just be Constipation because I misplaced my dulcolax.

But better safe than sorry.

I met a coworker from another department who has the sleeve on Halloween this year. So that was pretty cool. I am thankful for the amount of support I get at work. My immediate coworkers watch my intake more closely than I do 😅.

infection round two

surgery 11/3

went to er 11/11 for infection that burst

thought that it healed up- skin was skin colored, no heat, no hard knot under skin, white scar formed, area was concave..

until sunday….. became red, tender etc… got antibiotics on monday and took two doses; woke up this morning and saw my incision was breaking open subq with thin skin holding it back from bursting … went to my surgeons office and he was i. surgery but i tried to wait on him but it burst while waiting… (i luckily brought a tea towel and most of the infection was caught by it… soaked through and now in the trash). his nurse spent 30 mins cleaning and getting some of the yuck out then sent me to er where i got another ct with contrast, two rounds of antibiotics, potassium and fluids…

sent home again and follow up later this week…. oh the joys that come with surgery

Don't let the infections get you down. You have already come amazingly far in this and eventually the infection will give up.

Oh no! Not again. Praying! You have really had a tough time. Keep your chin up though.. you have already made so much progress and you'll be back to normal before you know it.

      It has hit me today, as I sit in my chair at work that I don't have my belly sticking out to where it would hit the desk. Oh and I can cross my legs more comfortably. It amazes me just how much I have loss in inches vs actual pounds, I have lost 24 lbs all together. But I believe in inches all over about 3 inches. I am noticing more energy and have pep to my step. My skin is a lot clearer. My watch band is shorter by 3 notches. the little things are what I am noticing. When I bend over I don't feel out of breath or I am going to fall over ( weeble wobble). 
      I am having a hard time with my sweet tooth, it is very hard to not want to get some ice cream or chocolate. Candy I can do without. I have no craving really for that, just chocolate and ice cream. I have gone as far as taking Popsicle and putting them in my mixer with almond milk and making like ice cream with that/ sometimes I have added un-flavored protein powder. 
      I feel better everyday. The energy is great to have with having younger kids and being able to have the energy to keep up. 😃

      If anyone has any advice on how to make your stomach feel better after you eat something you shouldn't have or at too fast, I would GREATLY appreciate it!! It's painful on both sides of my abdomen (like to the point I'm doubled over and using a hot water bottle in addition to medicine) and I'm really nauseous (the thought or smell of food is 🤢).
