Wow it has already been three weeks since I was banded. That is crazy. I am stuck in the middle of bandster hell. I can literally eat whatever I want without any problems. I suspect I can eat as much as I want but I haven't tested that. The only way I know I am really banded is the pain I get under my left ribcage where my port is. It gets worse as the day goes on, I suspect it has something to do with how my desk hits right about where my port is. I have to remember to sit back a little and not lean into my desk....which I should be doing anyway. I also think the pain gets worse after eating but that doesn't make a lot of sense unless it has something to do with the muscle and digestion. There were a few days this week where the pain was bad enough that I wanted to go home and lay down but I toughed it out.
Because of the port pain and the oppressive heat wave exercise has been non existent this week. Once I get home I don't want to leave again. It is so hot that I when I get home from work I have the a/c on, the ceiling fan and a floor fan and it is still to hot to move. I think we are close to 20 days with temps well over 100. Today is supposed to be 105. I was not made for hot weather it just isn't in my Norwegian DNA. Bring back the snow I say!!
Next week will be very taxing on my self control since I will be out of town most of the week. This is causing me lots of stress.
In other health news I have to have a crown put on one of my molars. I have never had anything really done to my teeth other than regular cleanings and a few minor cavities. I am seriously considering having them gas me. D told me not to have the gas because of the reaction I has after my surgery and I will be by myself and won't have anyone to drive me. After all I have been through in the last three weeks I know I can take the pain but I just don't want to.
Oh, and I almost forgot. As I walked into the office this morning someone stopped me and asked me if I had lost weight!! My first compliment!!! I almost hugged her.
I really hate having things done to my teeth so last time I went in, my dentist prescribed me a couple of pills that I could take 30 min before my appointment and the other I could take if the first one didn't work well enough. You might want to see if they could do something like that. Yay for compliments! I was so excited the first time someone noticed I had lost weight!
ReplyDeleteI love hearing the "have you lost weight" comment! Looking back now I think that the weeks leading up to my first fil were filled with liquids and mushies I wasn't even on solid foods according to the diet I was on til the week after my first fill. My first fill wasn't til week four after surgery. I think I was in reprogram mode learning to chew and sip still at three weeks from surgery. You will get this. Chin up you are doing great.
