Day 6, I didn't stay completely compliant.

I kind of knew this was going to happen.  I had a long-standing lunch at Olive Garden scheduled with some friends.  I ordered a bowl of the zuppa tuscana (?) soup that has potatoes in it.  I know I could have ordered a salad but with my Lap Band, I can't keep salad down and I didn't want to pay 8 dollars for something I couldn't hold onto.  I opted for the soup and scooped the potatoes out and ate the kale and sausage and the juice which probably had potatoes in it.  At the salvage grocery I found Just Mayo light which is an egg free mayo substitute.  It does have peas and a small amount of sugar, but I figure in the small, small amounts I will be using, it might be okay.  I haven't decided yet.  I may wait until the first 4 weeks are done and then decide.  Today is Day 7.  I cannot believe I've been (mostly compliant) this long.  I don't feel good.  This morning, both knees were hurting, I feel constipated and my eyes and mouth were incredibly dry this morning.  It might be the nightshades in the soup or it might be something else, but I am going to keep trying.  I don't have any more lunches out scheduled and if asked, I am going to try to postpone them until 3 weeks from now.  My wedding anniversary is also next week, but I will probably postpone that dinner out as well. 


I really hope that what is causing my issues is not potatoes.  Really.  Really.  Really.
