Nine Days Post Lapband Surg.
Mar 17, 2010
It's been nine days since surgery and I think things are going along okay. I don't seem to have any restriction, but know that will come later once I get my first fill. I've come up with some pretty tasty meals though. I used 2 ounces roasted chicken, 1 oz. canned green chilies, 2 ounces canned black beans, chicken broth, cumin, salt, pepper, diced jalepeno, et. I simmered it for a couple of hours to make sure everything was really tender and soft. I tried to blend a bit, but I am a texture freak in my foods and just couldn't eat it that way. So, I just took small bites and chewed like crazy.Completely hit the spot! I split it into 1/2 cup portion sizes and popped into the fridge to warm later. I put about an ounce of shredded chs on the top to melt, but wondering if that is against the "rules". Any feedback on eating cheese? If I went for a lower fat cheese, any suggestions of a good cheddar type that will melt?
My surgical wounds are healing pretty well. The area for the port is a bit dark red and tiny bit swollen on each end. When I pulled off the steri-strip tapes, it was as if the skin had been pulled a little too tight and overlapped a bit of top skin and held with the strips. So, there was a yucky liquid sitting there and the moisture of the skin and surgery had created a little puss pocket. So I just gently cleaned it with an alcohol prep pad and Neosporin and all is healing well.
