Weight: 269 lbs
Notes:
Had a hard time sleeping last night due to the incisions on my stomach. Lots of gentle flip flopping ( I am a notroious flip flopper in bed) and lots of peeing. Each time I pee'd the sting would wake me up completely! I dropped about 4lbs of water weight and as you can see my weight is back down to 269. I started in on my regular pill regiment today too, I made 8oz of Carnation intant breakfast (it is on the allowed foods sheet) and slowly took my pills 1 at a time. I could not even finish the 8ox of fluid before feeling really full. The band has not even been adjusted yet, it is supposedly wide open. I think my stomach may be swollen a bit and that is causing whatever food I put in to accumulate in the little pouch. I am still feeling quite full since having that shake at 7am, I don’t even feel like eating which is an odd feeling for me. Anyhow, let’s see how the rest of the day goes I think I may go outside and do some laps around the neighborhood and them perhaps try to weed the garden if it doesn’t hurt too much.
It is now 7pm and I had a full day with my new friend. I have not been able to eat much, I had exactly 16 oz of Carnation instant breakfast and one 10 calorie diet Jello cup and I feel just fine. I feel that the few hundred calories I took in might not be enough but I have to listen to my body and it is telling me not to put anything else into it. These past two days were meant to let my stomach heal and that means not putting much into it. The morning after I had the initial 4oz of CIB I felt as if I put a 4lb steak into my stomach, it was weird. I hope that this is my experience moving forward because I literally have no desire to eat. I just put some watermelon and some ice into a blender and made about 6oz of smoothie, I will sip this until I go to bed tonight. I did a lot of walking around the neighborhood today and it felt good to stretch my legs. I also managed to lie down and nap a bit too. However, I did end up taking the care down the street a few times to meet up with the wife and the boy who were swimming at a neighbor’s pool. My staples are quite sore right now so I just took a nice swipe of my liquid Perc, hopefully this will help. I don't like to take the Perc because it makes it hard to sleep at night. Anyhow, I pretty much had nasty gas all day, nasty because it won't leave my stomach cavity. I hear all kinds of crazy noises in there and sometimes I get a mild pain right in the middle. Every now and again I manage to burp, albeit painful, and I can squeeze out a fart too. I hope this gas goes away soon rather than later.
With all that said I feel quite well, I was expecting much more in the way of down time but I have to admin I feel like I am at 75% or better.
Time to go on the couch and take in movie.
Good Night.
