Day 9 after gastric band surgery

Day 9 after gastric banding surgery. I had my first post-op personal training session Wednesday night only a week after surgery. No abdominal work was done but there were a couple times the stitches twinged on me (push-ups and getting situated on the exercise ball). Worked hard in hot, humid space for about an hour, felt awesome! And as per usual, I ended up gaining ½ pound the next day even with consuming a paltry 737 calories for the day. However, today I was down 1 ½ pounds! Who would have thought it would actually be hard to consume my full 1200 calories?!?

I am working on soft foods right now and loving my scrambled egg breakfasts. Still getting use to the no water for an hour after eating. Breakfast is easy because I hop in the car and drive 45-mintues to work. By the time I get my coffee, it has been an hour. Tonight I am planning on doing something other than watching TV during the initial evening hours. Probably spend time in my art/craft room making cards that are due for birthdays and anniversaries. Peace out. Live Long and Prosper.
