Doctors visit

Well today was my post surgery appointment with the doctor and since surgery I have lost 10 pounds! Which brings my total to 24! It is so much fun to get on the scale and watch them not have to adjust up the weights but have to, instead, adjust them down!!
He seemed to think that I was healing nicely. His only comment was you reacted to the tape! Which I did a liitle but not as badly as I have seen some people do. I go back in to see him in a month at which time he will probably fill my band. With the adjustable lap band the doctor can add saline to it to tighten it up so you get full faster and maintain a steady weight loss. Should the need arise it is also possible to remove the saline so more food can be ingested if say I get pregnant (no pregnancy for at least a year post surgery).
My diet became a little more interesting in the number of foods I can eat but not in the texture. I am now able to have any soft foods aslong as they are the consistancy of mashed potatos or baby food by the time I swallow them. Plus instead of doing what I have been and that is eating 3 times a day he wants me eating every 4 hours. which will be about 4-5 times a day depending on how long I am awake.
