For some reason, I feel like I have banded for longer than a week. Is it because I'm feeling like myself again and I just have sterri strips on my incisions to actually show myself that yes, I did have surgery just a week ago?
I'm tolerating food pretty well. Like today, I had 1/2 cup scrambled eggs. For lunch I had a couple bites of cottage cheese and chicken noodle soup(minus the chicken and the noodles) and for dinner 1/2 cup tuna and 3 saltine crackers. That kept me satisfied quite well so I'm not sure if I'm feeling true restriction or is my stomach still inflamed from surgery. Whatever the reason.....I'll take it.
My doctor pretty much said to take things slow, chew,chew,chew, and introduce more foods slowly.I have to keep reminding myself that it's only been a week. I need to take things slow so I don't damage anything that I've been waiting a year and half for. I've got the rest of my life with my new tool of awesomeness, so why rush?
