Day 9 post -op

Jul 10, 2009

So I think I am doing well.  I have been walking, cleaning house lightly, my husband went back to work and left me alone with 2 small children!!!  I must be crazy or on my way to normal!!!

I have cheated a little on the full liquid/soft liquid diet.   I had a couple bites of mashed potatoes, cooked carrot and meatloaf (grilled) for dinner one night, I have been eating a little low fat turkey chili for lunch the last 2 days, it all settled well but I feel a little guilty skipping ahead.  I can have that stuff starting next wednesday but it tastes really good and keeps me full.  I started waking up hungry a few days ago.  I call it my angry pouch!!!   Anyways I am going to go back to shakes and soft foods today.

I have only lost 1lb in the last 2 days.  Down a total of 13lbs.  I know I shouldn't be dissapointed but I am. It was melting off me for the first week and now nothing.   I was in a huge slump of a mood yesterday and no idea why.  Don't know if is was because no weight change "high", or the food change, or just one of those days. 

My incisions are almost completely healed and ITCH so bad.  I still feel sore inside around my ribs and breastbone.  I chased my kid last night because he was about to beat his sister with a toy and when I grabbed him he colapsed.  That hurt me and I think I should stick to yelling instead!!!  I am going to drive today for the first time.  I have to take my daughter to a 3 hour dance recital, should be interesting!!!
