Day 10 post op: SO ready to go back to work!! Bored out of my mind...:thumbup:...which is not helping with eating. But I've been good for the most part. Sticking with the smoothies on a regular basis with a little "mush" food cheating here and there. Nothing crazy. Peice of dry toast with sugar free applesauce on it does the trick . Have had some Campbell's soup also. Couldn't eat a whole bowl. I have to admit I did go out one night just to get out. Stopped at a bar/restaurant my friend works. Had a cup of cream of crab soup and it caused some restriction pain but not too severe. Enough to remind me not to over-do it like that. Was going to buy a scale to keep track of my weight, but decided not to. Would rather just see how it goes the first month or so. Keep waiting for the bomb to drop...the whole LAP-BAND® experience has been relatively uneventful. Minimal pain, no PB, no sliming. Burping is different than it was. Even though I am 100% satisfied with my surgeon, the clinic she works out of is really pissing me off. I've called twice with post-op questions, once this week and once last week. I'm still waiting for them to call back. Have an appt. w/ the surgeon on Tues. and plan on venting a little.
