Howdy all...not gonna be much of a food day today.  I did get my ultrasound to see what was beneath the big ugly third eye in my belly scar - and it was just fluid, so they went ahead and opened it up and drained it.  Now - another hole to deal with for awhile.  But it felt soooo good to relieve that pressure.  I asked how I could prevent this in the future, and they said some people are just more prone to fluid pockets.  Hopefully this will be the last time!!!  The only up side is I got some pain pills and I'm about to take one (or two) and go to dreamland.

B - 1-1/2 fried eggs and turkey sausage patty - plus a bite or two of yogurt and a couple pieces of melon

L - I'm hoping to sleep through it and I did :)

S - Missed this too

D - Atkins crustless pot pie and a protein bar, cuz boy was I hungry

S - Might be sleeping through this one too!!!

I hope you feel better soon :-)

I hope all is well this afternoon. Better?

Definitely the pressure is gone, so that's better, but it hurts like a son of a gun.  Makes me wonder how I made it through a much bigger, longer, deeper, cut with the surgery itself.  Apparently, I'm one those roll me over with a steamroller and I'll smile through it, but give me a paper cut and I'll be in bed for a week, LOL

Yay TGINF!!  I think I need a TT.  I sent off a pic to a PS to see his opinion - the co-ordinator is the partner of a former colleague I've known for about a decade so I have faith that the surgeon's good.  We'll see - her initial thought was I was rather slim for PS and couldn't I exercise off the belly, so she's not out to money grab at least.

I hope she'll find a way to do your TT. You might want to talk to someone who is more familiar with post-WLS folks.
