2 week post op visit

Apr 10, 2009

Well, I am down 17.4 pounds since my surgery two weeks ago.  Not bad for lap band.  Especially since the average weight loss is 2 to 3 pounds per week.  I have not had a fill as of yet.

Today I had to get stitches   since my port site opened up.  Man did that thing sting and it burns now.  I did not get anything to numb me so, I have to do less bending and lifting.  This sucks.  I hate feeling helpless.  Other than that I have been able to determine when I am hungry and full.

My appetite is better, still can not quite get through a cup of food per serving.  I am at half a cup, and doing better with the liquids. 

My birthday was Sunday, and I did okay.  Just eat the salmon, it was delicious.  I did not eat all day, hoping that I would be able to eat the whole piece, but I wasn't able to.  My cousin baked me a chocolate cake I stayed away.  But I did have the thinnest slice the other day.  It went down rough.  I tried to eat some Chinese chicken and that did not sit well either.  For the remainder of this week until my next appointment, I am going back to the basics....
