Week 5 Update

Today completes the last day of week five of my Lap Band weight loss.

The first 24 hours following my fill I was on liquids. I had been warned that this would be harder the second time around. "Chris, you were right!" My stomach was still adjusting to the fill but was much better-- better enough that I was hungry and the liquids seemed to pass quickly.

On the third day I had mushies-- salmon patties and potato salad. It was fabulous! I had to be very aware of chewing well and taking small bites, but it sure tasted good and kept me full. It was the most "real food" I had in four weeks.

The next day I was on regular food again, but took it easy because I'm still getting used to my band and healing. Steve and I went out for lunch at our favorite Mexican restaurant, El Sol de Mexico I was able to eat the chips, my favorite, and some of the beans and rice off of his plate. I'm such a cheap date now! LOL

I'm doing great! No more pain. I am eating normal food again. I feel like life is starting to get back to normal again!
