Like a baby Bandster

So I am getting better since my band relocation surgery two weeks ago, but the recovery is pretty slow-going.  Basically I am fine, so long as I don't try to eat anything.  In the morning I may or may not be able to drink a bit of coffee, depending on how the day is going.  By mid-day, it is possible I will be able to eat some soup (Monday I ate a bowl of soup, yesterday maybe 10 bites).  I can drink most anything during the day (coffee, water, etc.).  Evening I've decided to stick to liquids (hot chocolate mostly) after a few disastrous attempts with soup.  Although it never happened to me personally, I can recall other Bandsters talking about only being able to eat during the day and not in the morning or evening.

Sigh.

I am not trying to lose weight.  I was perfectly happy at 170 lbs. (77 kg.).  I don't really know how much I weigh because I've stopped weighing myself.  I was getting a little funny in my head about it and I decided I wouldn't get on the scale for a while.  When I was very dehydrated after surgery, I dropped about 14 lbs. and I was weighing every night before bed and every morning when I got up.  As I started to be able to drink more, the nighttime number crept up and it bothered me.  I need to be more concerned about health than my weight right now.

I also tend to make less than great choices when I have few options available.  I just want things to be the way they were before I had my band "fixed".  Things were nearly perfect then.  The band kept my serving sizes low and I made good food choices.  We worked together, but now things are not working very well at all.
