I'm a little frustrated this time around for the simple fact that the scale has stopped moving, and has decided to creep up 2 lbs.. I'm not even going to justify it by writing it in my weigh-loss box in the right-hand margin, because I know this is typical, but I have never wanted a saline injection (a fill up) directly to my stomach any worse than I do now. On Monday I return to Lexington to have my first fill, and from what I've heard, it leaves something to be desired. I'm just looking forward to the result. But all in all, I'm doing well. I'm eating all normal solid foods, and looking forward to CARBS again. I can't eat them for another 5 months. :(
One thing I'm going to complain a bit about in the post, however is my port site. It just flat-out HURTS. Not all the time - it's not a constant pain, but it makes me want to cry every time it does. If I sit a certain way, it hurts. If I sit for too long, it hurts. If I walk too much, it hurts. However, I can go and do the very same activities the next day, it doesn't hurt. It's very fickle. And frustrating. I have a feeling that its being this way because of the upper respiratory infection I had when I was recovering from the surgery. I was coughing so hard, and so productively that I think I may have literally ripped a stitch that attaches the port to my abdominal wall. Ouch.
But on that note, I think I'll leave it here. The battery in my laptop is nearly dead, and I'm needing some breakfast!
