Today is Day 11 post surgery (Monday 4th June) and I spent the whole day a t home. I had no longing to do much today. In fact I climbed out of bed at 11.30am. I was so exhausted and obviously my body was telling me to just take it easy. And easy is what I did.
I watched a bit of teli and snoozed for a bit, then my mum came over and with her encouragement I got off my fat arse and cleaned out my study with her. It was nice having her over.
I still am not really eating much and still have no real desire to eat. My good brain though is battling my bad brain and fortunately my good brain is winning. I am having a tendency to look at the time and tell myself its time to eat. So I open the fridge and I grab a yoghurt (I have absolutely positively no junk food in my house) and I look at it and I'm just not hungry. I just have no longing for food whatsoever. It’s so bizarre and unreal so I then place the yoghurt back in the fridge. It’s hilarious!
This is what every mealtime is like. I convince myself that it is time to eat and then as I'm preparing to eat I don’t want it. I feel really full almost like I’ve had a 5-course meal. It’s so crazy. But it’s a good crazy.
There’s not much else to report, everything seems to be going according to plan. I thought I would recommend 2 products that I have been using to help with my scars.
The first is Lucas Paw Paw Ointment (costs approx $4.95 from Priceline and I have seen it in health food stores, organic supermarkets and chemists) and the second product is MediHoney Antibacterial Wound Gel (costs $11.95 from Terry White Chemist).
The Paw Paw Ointment was recommended to me by one of the nurses on the ward at The Avenue Hospital (and she is a bandster!!!) and the MediHoney was recommended by my surgeon, he said that (and like the tube reads) “A Natural barrier against drug resistant bacteria” BUT not to be used by people who have allergies or sensitivities to bee products and/or pollen.

Stay focussed sis. You've gone through hell and back to do this and I am confident you will achieve your dreams. I know it must be incredibly difficult at times, but stick to your goals. Your family will be there to support you through it all.
Hi Reney
Your blog is good to read, I noticed that your port site is much lower than mine that's the big cut..I thought that they would all be in the same place just below the left breast. I was banded on the 17th April so not too far ahead of you..still enjoy my food all be it a lot less and I eat a lot slower just in case I get a blockage and I chew chew chew. Good luck on your journey
