Eating

Ok, so I had the surgery on 5/7/08 and have been able to eat most things since the 14th. I get a little pain if i really over do but I am most concerned about the rather large lump where the largest incision is on my abdomen. If that is the band, they it will never be inconspicuous. I expected it to fit deeper, but it seems to be just under the skin. Anyone else have this? My incisions are almost healed and I have been rubbing cocoabutter in. I like the protein shakes, but I really need to cut back on the food intake. Should I expect the fill to help more?
