..was starving and it was there staring at me.. I feel gross its laying in my tummy like a brick.... i was banded 3/20 wild thoughts are going thru my head im thinking my band slipped. Tommorow im getting back on track. How would i k now it slipped ? Its probably all in my head but im having some pain in my incisions and my port site is this normal or from the pizza ?

i left work early last night; the most severe heartburn. i do believe it was heartburn. i drove straight to rite aid, got some rolaids softchews (advertising does work) was gonna go straight home and turn my heat pad on... then i see the chinese restaurant right in front of me. egg flower soup. where did i read that? <smile> somewhere on this site im sure. in pain, tired, hurting... but i trudged in, ordered a bowl of egg drop soup to go. i get home... wow. a bowl of soup is a quart. damn. i pour some into a cup, go to my bedroom and my blessed bed. ahhhhhhh.... i slowly sip my soup, chew the mushroom very well. its gone. it was good. i want more. heft myself up. another cup. uh. it definately wasnt pizza (7 days post op) but i definately was a quart. cup by cup. i slowly finished it. how guilty i feel today. and my scale says im 3lbs up. so much sodium im sure. my dr said this was not a weight loss time but a healing time. i have to keep reminding myself of that... but it was nice seeing the scale go down every morning. i was at like 12lbs down. if i drink my water today... do you think those 3 go away again? -r

I have no problem with the thought of eating pizza....it's the crust that I have a problem with. So, it gets trashed and never comes close to my mouth at all!!! That is how I eat pizza...crustless!!!

Sparkling- Take care of your band now in the most critical stage so that- God forbid- if something would go wrong in the future you know you did all you could to protect your band. Don't eat regular food until the doctor says you can.

Wyldvelia- A quart of egg drop soup is not going to make you gain 3 pounds. You must chill. Think this way: until you get a fill, anything you lose is a miracle. So, if you gain a little back, it was probably just Water weight anyway.
