Just some Ramblings!

Well, I had my first follow-up with my surgeon.  Not exactly my surgeon because he had an emergency call, but his coordinator and his NP.  They like my progress and how i'm healing.  I told them about my willpower incident, or lack there of.  They said that its fine because i'm not the first nor the last.  The first month is so hard because the regimen is set up to help you heal but everyone doesn't heal at the same rate.  Anyway, I was allowed to start mushies.  So i've been eating a lot of baked salmon and catfish because the texture is not so tough.  The protein in them are great as well.

Sooooo, I am down to 291.  That was 6 pounds in 9 days.  I'm having bittersweet feelings about that.  I'm happy that its a loss but I can't help but think, that if I did some things differently would I have seen a better number.  Overall, I'm ok.  The NP took my steri strips to reveal my incision.  I have one incision in my belly button that i'm waiting to heal.  All the others were litterally smaller than a papercut and were healed within the first week. 

So to sum things up i'm doing great.  Just taking one day at a time!
