Dr. Visit

Well, two weeks out from Band Wednesday.  Saw Doc today, and doing quite well.   Love 12 lbs, incisions healed up nice.  Hurt like heck when nurse pealed off stickem tape holding me together..    Doc says to give it a bit more time before solid foods, but I can have watery stuff, like cream of wheat, oatmeal, etc..    Not sure if That means watery mashed taters or not, but a taste might tell that.  I'm NOT going to sabotage anything.  Asked how much weight I can expect to loose in a week,  1 1/2 to 2 lbs he said, depending on exercise and calorie intake.   At least now I can mix it up a bit from jello, yogert, and protein shakes..  Just NOT going to do anything that can get caught and can easily flow.   He's not going to add anything to port till after the 1st of the year visit.  Asked him about this gas I feel in stomach.  He game me the name of the stuff, but I forgot what it was..  He said it had Simethicone.  Have to ask my pharmacist bud for a recommendation... 

Simethicone is Gas x.  I'm sure there is a generic that is cheaper.  It lowers the surface tension of liquids, popping the bubbles and allowing better burping.

Congratulations! Very good 12 pounds! Men lose so much faster than women, it's not fair! Sounds like broth for thanks giving Huh?
It will be well worth missing thanks giving this year. : )
If I don't get to talk to you before thanks giving ,
