CHEMMAN9 Welcome I hope things are going well with you with you. I know I feel much better now than I did at day 3 or 4 every day a little better.

Thanks Marvie. You are correct. Each day the post-op pain is subsiding. Today (post-op day five), my doctor schedule allowed me to have thin cream based soups. I had crab cream soup. I didn't feel in any negative affects. Hopefully, the rest of my journey will progress this well.

good to hear that you got some cream soup. I bet you never thought that cream soup would sound so good did you? Glad to hear that you are feeling better and things are going well.

Amanda,
I will take your advice and stay away from tomato. I tried low fat broccoli cheese soup and diluted it with some chicken stock for dinner it was good. My husband of course asked if that was all I was eating.

Thanks for the warning. Campbell's makes a tomato bisque soup that I was thinking of trying. Actually, I had it last year and it was great, but that was in my pre-LAP-BAND^® life.

Amen to that. I am so tired of juices, water, and protein shakes.

Your scale shows that you have already lost 12 pounds. That is great, congrats! My banding was done on the 17th, and I have only lost 9 pounds. It is most likely my fault. I have been too sore to exercise. I now feel well enough to start slowly exercising again tomorrow.
