Thanks! Yes everything is easy, no emotion problems ( I am always the joker) food is good, had bacon & bean soup for lunch, went down fine and for supper I am having baked potato (insides only) with ricotta cheese, can't wait!

Wow and only 9 more days till I get to meet Carrie and Lisa!!!!

I have my scope booked for July 6th in Medicine Hat, stupid but I am a bit nervous about having something shoved down my throat!!! Oh god I just realised what I typed!!! ha ha I meant a camera!!! ha ha

Just learnt today a friend of mine is flying to Mexico to have lap band by a Dr Ortis. Costing her $8000US + travel etc. WOW

Talking of traveling, I must keep track of the KM driven to MH as I can claim this expense and the hotel on my taxes! Woot, maybe I will get some decent coin back instead of the pittance I got this year. Taxes are terrible here!

My incision is healed nicely but itches like heck!!!

Default Gee, you're doing sooooo well!

Itchy incision? Once mine was "healed" and got dry, I used this shea butter-based cream on it, scented with Tasmanian Lavender. Scar looks good, and I smell good! Keep up the good work!

all going good this end. Progressed well onto harder foods, had a ham & cheese wrap (well about 1/4 of one!) Last night we went to the chinese, I was like oh hell, this is my favourite but I just had a bowl of beef & barley soup and some of Andy's salmon and devilled egg. Went for a hike with the dog yesterday and it was fine. I am not getting so tired now and definately sleeping better as I can now get onto my side without it pulling too much. The drain hole is finally closing over and my scar is nice and flat. I bought some Miss Milkie body butter from Shoppers drug mart to use on it, smells lovely!
Down 20lbs, so that means a 1lb a day since surgery.
