Happy St. Patrick's Day and Sugar Doll Award!

Happy St. Patty's Day everyone!!!! I don't think I have ever said this before but I am Irish and proud of it! I love Irish heritage and culture and I even have a tattoo of 3-3 leaf clovers on my right foot to prove it. :) I hope you all are wearing your green today!

Well the BFF, Mary, should be in recovery right about now. She was banded today and I am soooo happy for her. Hoorah, Hoorah, Hoorah! Let's all keep her in our thoughts that all has gone well and the road to recovery will be a smooth one!

Ok! I am sooooo thrilled that I found a special surprise this morning! I got my FIRST award from BG and I couldn't be more flattered! :) yipee!

3. Write why you where given this award.

BG said It was in honor of those newbies out there and those who are about to get banded. Her exact words "She's three weeks post-op now too and is fighting the carb monster!" hehehe



4. Tell the other bloggers you gave them this award.

Well this is going on my new trophy wall on my blog! yipee! Onto another note...I am 3 weeks post op and able to start solid foods today! Yipee....I am sticking to my high protein and low carb and I MEAN IT! So today I have had
B drink: hot green tea, skim milk, splenda
Breakfast: Dannon Light and Fit yogurt with protein powder
Lunch: chicken salad w/ 1 tbsp of light mayo and 1 cup of mixed greens (not bad, actually)
Dinner: Steak and broccoli...yum yum yum
Water in between and possibly a s/f jello for dessert!

That's all I have for now....oh wait....I almost forgot! All of my glue is off of my incisions now, even the port incision. They are healing nicely. Only one problem...the red itchy lil bumps surrounding them all. I know it is a reaction to the glue because I get the same thing when I take bandaids off. So I called the doc and they told me that I could put some hydracortizone cream on the itchy part and it will go away! Other than that I am right on track! Now let's see if these pounds start coming off.
