Bempowered

Hello, B!

Got banded on 5/22. Lots 10 pounds before that with some liquid protein and no carbs. Right now, I can eat pretty much anything if I chew, chew, chew. Can't do bread or pasta, though. Made some chicken chili last week - very soft and lo-fat. I don't feel "high-up" restriction, but I do get full easily. Is that okay? Took a week off work and went back today without pain meds. Did okay, but the boss says 1/2 days are okay until I feel better. Nice to have some online support here. Am confident, but I feel that I am not doing something right.
