Thanksgiving. And the stomachache to follow.

Well, it was bound to happen. On day one of "real" food I over-ate.

I really didn't think that I would because my portions were SO much smaller than usual but a few minutes after eating, I had the worst stomach pain ever. I only took about two tablespoons of everything except the green beans and turkey but even after eating such small portions, pain ensued.

At this point, I am really not supposed to have any "restriction" because the band is completely empty. I have noticed that when I eat more than a cup, I get really full. That's great but I am nervous about what will happen once the band fills. I've heard horror stories of what has happened to other people and I'd really like to avoid those situations if at all possible. Following the food plan thus far has been pretty easy. I've been trying to make meals that are high in protein, fiber and low in calories. John really wants creamed turkey tonight which sounds less than appetizing but for him, I guess I will break down and make it.

This morning, the wound by my port starting oozing again. I am kind of annoyed because I went in for this last Monday and they told me it was fine. It's NOT fine if it's oozing a week later. What's worse is that the girl I spoke with on the phone had the snottiest tone when I asked what I should do. Umm, hello? Customer service is what you get paid for, lady! If they aren't nice when I go in, they're going to see a not so fun side of Shayna.

My friend Emily gave me the idea of posting pictures on a monthly basis so on Friday, I will post my one month pictures. Pretty exciting, huh? I can't believe it's been a month. The time really has flown by. The next month is going to be very exciting and I can't wait for next Thursday and my first fill.
