Last night I managed to get up the stairs to my bed for sleeping last night. Gawds that was a nice change.
My groin is feeling better today, not 100% of course, but enough to give me hope that I'll be able to work on Monday. However, I'm not going to push it too hard today. More rest, ice, ibuprofen and reading/netflix. The Husbeast bought me the Brave dvd yesterday. So that and all the extras are on the list of things to watch! I'm excited!!
Weighed in this morning: 266.8lbs
I'm very pleased!
The sun is out, I'm going to make a coffee and open the patio doors and enjoy the cool morning air and sun. While sitting on a could icebags! Wee!! :)

Short Weeks!
We are off from work this week on Thursday and Friday! HURRAY!
My only real disappointment is that I'm on rest for my back. No Pushing, pulling or lifting. Which means I won't get in my biking or weights this week. Damn.
We are having an orphans, widows and outcasts Thanksgiving with friends on Thursday. It should be super fun. I'm excited, it will be my first big food outing with people that don't know I've had surgery, so eating slowly and talking lots (shouldn't be a problem), will get me through.
Friday the Husbeast has to work, so I'm going to have a crafty day with a friend. Get some xmas decorating done, and some little sewing projects.
I'm heading up to the Great White North in early December to see a girlfriend that I've not visited in almost 2 years. Her kids are getting to big, I have to go and see them all before they are magically teens! This also means that I have to get my sh!t together so that once I'm up there I can send the rest of the family their Christmas gifts. WAY better then paying to mail them across the border.
I'm going to put on my thinking cap for this one.
Weigh in this morning was excellent: 268.4
Its been a LONG time since I've seen that number. LONG TIME. Like, I can't remember time.
I'm heading downwards, and making good choices. I had a little trouble with dinner last night. Brown rice spicy salmon sushi. I think it was the rice. So next time I'll take it slower, and do a couple of checks on if I should eat more or not.
Also.... WATER WATER WATER
Tonights indulgence.... The Walking Dead. Missed it Sunday, tonight I get to see what is going on!!!

2 Week Follow up Appointment
I've been running around like a bat outa hell today, so late late blogging and I need to get in bed for another long day tomorrow.
NSV:
I went out and bought 2 pair of work pants. Size 20. Down from the 24s I have been wearing! WOOHOO!
This afternoon I had my follow up and stitches out.
BP: 112/82 - HELL YES!
Weight: 275.4 (fully clothed without peeing first! WINNER!).
BMI: 40 - down from 43ish!!
He is really pleased with my progress. I can start back working out next Monday - biking and weights. Try to eat around 1,000 cal a day - high protein. Water. You know the drill!
I counted up my calories today and I was WELL over (1,400). I'm surprised, I didn't think that I would be able to manage as much as I did, however, I have some things that I should just eliminate from the fridge, and I ate pudding 2 times today, so yeah...those have to go. Also:
Strawberry Ensure - 8oz
calories: 250
fat: 8
Carb: 32!!
Prot: 9
These were great when it took me three or four "meals" to drink the whole thing, but not so much now that I can do it in two. Not a good choice of calories or protein now that I can have tuna. These will go down the sink tomorrow.
Okay. regardless of how today was, its time for sleep and I need to get my butt to bed and no reading tonight :(
Weigh in this morning: 272lbs down .6

Healing
My laparoscopic incisions are healing well (all five of them) and I can judge my healing progress on how I'm sleeping.
I'm a side sleeper ... I hate sleeping on my back, which is really the only option post surgery swelling & incisions! Last night I managed to get in some sleeping on both my right and left sides! YAY! I did spend most of the night on my back, but it was so nice to get side time! No pain anymore, just a little discomfort - mostly in the belly button incision. However, Totally Manageable!
Hurray for healing progress! Right after surgery it felt like that swelling was never going to go away!!! Phew!
