Well, last night was my first big scare with the sleeve.
Chew everything well... that is a tough one for me and last night this bite me in the ass big time. Or the stomach really.
Dinner was 2 babybel, 1oz goat cheese, 3/4 of a green apple and 15 thin-triskets.
AND... I didn't chew the apple very well, nor did I cut it up. About 30 min after eating, I started to get uncomfortable... then hot and really uncomfortable... then I got a sharp pain I my sternum and sides. I went in a barfed a couple times.
Second barf I saw a big 'ol chunk of apple... like half the tip of my thumb sized and knew that I was in trouble. Apple skin is not particularly digestible AND that is a good size piece - for sure enough to jam up the bottom in there.
I was terrified. Did I break it? did I just tear my stomach? Did my appendix just give out? Have I damaged myself? Yikes.
I walked around like a woman in labor - breathing hard and stretching and sipping water for about 10 minutes Then boom. It was gone.
ABC - Always Be Chewing!!!!

Yipes!
Many yipes today.
1. So, I thought that I was all healed up.
Well, that is mostly true. Whilst giving my belly a vigorous toweling off this morning, I re-opened my belly button incision!!!!!!!!!!!!! YIPES!!!!!
I held a towel on it for a while to stop the bleeding, then tried to clean it out with q-tips (the belly button). Its holding steady and I'm waiting to hear back from my surgeon about what to do. It was open, deep to maybe a little less then a 1/4inch. Not too sure, but I could see in. Not far, but a good sized cut.
The bleeding has stopped now, but I'm super nervous now!!!!
**UPDATE** Dr called - stuff belly button with gause, tape over. That should do it - be careful, if there are any other issues, call! :)
2. Holding steady at 272.
No change for the first time in 2 weeks. I was .... devastated, but calmly realistic.
I'm aiming for no excuses, but not beating myself up. I used to overeat all the time, its my default setting. That is why I got fat. I have to take these moments and learn from them. I can and will learn, I already put it into practice.I had a good long talk with myself last night, and this morning. I have been overeating, past full with the sleeve since hitting the purred phase. Time to dial it back in.
So I threw out the pudding and the Ensures this morning. Step one completed!
I had 4oz greek yogurt this morning at 7:00. At 10am, I made 1/2c canned crab (45cal/10protein), 1 queso laughing cow (35/2) and 2 eggs (156/12) all scrabbled up. Ate half. The second half is in the fridge for later. Very pleased. Step two completed.
Good job me.
4. Curious.... anyone else who has the surgery and incisions...
I have 2 on the left side, mid belly, quite close to each other. Around them I still have a lot of swelling - its like an inch father out around those two than anywhere else. Anybody else experience this? Does it finally go away. Am I beeing to optimistic, it has only been 2 weeks.
Need to file that under "questions to ask as the next doctors appointment", of course, that could be later today!
5. Work
So I was planning on starting back at work tomorrow, so this is a little monkey wrench in that plan. Might have to make it a half day.
Right, back to it. I had a huge list of things to get done pre-working full time, so I have to get hopping. Its going to be a harder day with one hand on my belly botton!!
