I am having a MOMENT!

My family is having a wonderful dinner tonight... so far I have not been interested in what they are eating but TONIGHT...I really want a bite! I decided to go to my room while they eat and get the leftovers put away to be safe. But I am really in a bad mood, I want it so badly but I know I can't have that. I can't even have a bite of it and I think I am going crazy! It is amazing how much food controls me. This feeling that I am having right now is exactly why I am over weight in the first place. It is sobering to know I CAN NOT and WILL NOT eat that today. I am however looking forward to the day I can have it and only eat a small amount and be totally OK with that normal amount of food.
I also went through my skinny clothes to make myself feel better and that calmed my nerves a little. I have one more box of jeans under my bed but I can't get to it because it still hurts to bend in weird ways. I guess that is normal since I just had surgery a little over a week ago.... Pray for me!

One week plus some Miralax and Finally I went!

One week post OP today

I am week out today and I have lost 7.6 lbs. !! That's crazy good! I weigh 184.4! Woot Woot!

Constipated?

Well I had surgery on the 29th and have not eaten anything since the 28th at 5:30 p.m. and no BM yet.. I took milk or mag this afternoon but just 20 ml which is less than the recommended dose. I also took one colase soft gel which made me feel yucky. I hope something happens soon! I have read some pretty scary stuff online about this issue.. YIKES

I would recommend taking TWO weeks off of work!

I thought my first day was going great but now at 6 and after a two hour staff meeting (3-5) I'm completely exhausted and everything hurts....

First Day Back at Work

I am 6 days post OP and I'm headed back to work this morning. Still taking dauladid * as needed for pain. I am a preschool teacher and only work from 8:30-12:15 so I should be fine. Wish me luck! I am feeling good now, it was nice getting back into the drop off routine with my three boys. :)

Full Liquids

OK this is my second day on full liquids and I am feeling much better. This is a tomato soup with a tablespoon of cream cheese melted into it. I also added garlic powder, salt, and pepper. It was so good I almost wished I could eat more than a couple ounces ;) but I can't and that's kind of amazing . I only finished a quarter of that tiny bowl and was FULL.!!!
