Meanwhile back in Bandlandia, for the last 3 days, every time I eat (no matter what I eat,) I get THE worst pain under my ribs. Went walking, since I've been told that walking is the best way to get rid of these pains, which are caused by gas, not to be too graphic... anyway, it din't work. Still there. Imagine, if you will, the pain you get when you are running and get a "stitch" in your side. Now enlarge the area of the pain to the size of a baseball, and put it RIGHT UNDER your left ribs, and magnify said pain times two. Yep, that's about it. Man o man. Theories proffered by fellow Bandlandians are, one, that I'm swallowing air when I eat (which is really drinking, since I'm on the liquid phase right now...), and two, that air bubbles that would have come up easily pre-band are now trapped below the band and causing this problem. :( Now I have a question. If I'm swallowing air, how do I STOP doing that, if I don't know I'm doing it? And no, I'm not using a straw....

No new soup today....
Ok, I lied. Well, not lied exactly, it's just that we have two batches of soup already made and there's only so much I can eat of it, so it's silly to make more until this is gone. :) Never fear, I will be making the next recipe soon.
