last day of vacation

Today was my last day of vacation :-( I have to go back tomorrow. Part of me wants to go cause I'm kindof bored and miss people. The other part of me wants to stay home forever cause I really enjoy the boredom.

On the lap band front... I'm in a LOT less pain. Rare gas bubble that will come up that hurts every now and then, but even most of that is gone. The incisions itch more than anything but really not a lot of pain from them either. I might even wear pants instead of a dress tomorrow they feel so good. And the best part of all?? I can finally lay on my stomach! No more sleeping on my back or on my wrong side. I am so glad I might get a night of decent sleep tonight.

Tomorrow is my last day of clear liquids. Thank GOD!! Now that I just have one day left I know I can make it, but oh lord this week has been bad. Do you know how quickly broth starts to taste bad?? Let me tell you, very quickly. I had a solid week of clear liquids then a few days of full liquids then I can move on to mushies and stuff like that, something with a little more substance. I really thought I was going to die, but everytime I thought about not doing clears I would think... You just paid 15,500 bucks for this, you can NOT disobey the rules. The only time I think I messed up, it was un-intended. I mixed apple juice (which is clear) with protein powder, and when you do that, apparently it's not so clear and a little thick. I was paying for it later, felt like horrible horrible heartburn and like I was tight all over. Won't be doing that one again.

Well I'm off to bed, gonna try and get one last night of rest before work! Talk to you later.
