Day 14 Post-op Lapband

I'm finally on mushies ^_^.

Well officially anyways. I have been enjoying mushed tinned salmon with mayo & re-fried beans (not salmon and re-fried beans together o_O)...And tonight I made a glorious spag bol with a shiraz base. It was amaziiiiiing. I'll have to write out the recipe for it or maybe even make a video.

I'm not having 6 meals of 50mls anymore really. I'm aiming for my 3 meals of 1cup each time. Sometimes I have to tell myself that I'm not hungry. Because I'm not, I just want to snack for no reason. It's weird with this band. Normal hunger creeps up on you and most of the time you can ignore it until it's very intense. With the band, hunger is like BAM. All of a sudden you're starving. Very strange.

My weight isn't doing wonderfully, but i'm still healing and all that. I was 105.2kg this morning, which was a loss since this week, but a gain from my last official weigh in. I think last weeks weigh in was incorrect. Or I was just losing water...because I don't think it would be possible for me to actually gain a kilo...at this stage anyways. Now my weight has settled, I'm sure the readings will be more reliable :)

Also, I'm joining a gym next weekend, so I can start some low impact exercise yay :D

Here's some pix of my slowly healing incisions. These were taken on day 11 post-op.

2 little incisions almost gone :)
My port site...check out the nasty bruise!
