A band for me x

[Crystalrainbow]

Just accept its something we have to go thru and today is the worst your going to feel, as every day will get better and better, slowly (you wont even notice) your be back to normal before you know it I am huge wuss, so 8 weeks pretty standard for me lol your be back to the old routine before long enough, just hang in there once the losses start happening it will make it all worth while x x x

Day 12 in the big banded house.

My stomach is healing well, the only pain I still feel is near where I think the port is. I have managed at work with no one noticing. I am always on some diet of sort so what i eat never phases them. We had an archiving day on Monday and I said I had pulled something in my side so could help but not lifting things. I normally muck in so no one really batted an eyelid.

This is my diary so I always want to be honest.

Tonight I felt really low. And I have relied on alcohol in the past followed by every type of snack in my house.

Tonight I had two glasses of wine and a packet of wotsits, sucked. A lot less than I would normally but not ideal on a band diet. I feel quite ashamed with myself . At the same time I know that for me that is quite good.

I don't want people to criticise me but I probably deserve it , it's more to acknowledge to myself what I have done and what I can't do anymore, as my stomach and chest are killing me so I just can't do if anymore x which is good

Hi x I am good thank you. Two weeks banded today and feeling like me again x

Good luck with your consultation. Where are you having it x

Hi Tracey how you doing finally you can eat something other than liquid lol what you got nice planned? Xx

 

[traceyb79]

I have had a weetabix for breakfast. Then had a scrambled egg with baked beans. I was in heaven. Even though I vowed never to eat another egg after my pre op but wanted to get some protein in. Am at the hairdressers at the moment but when I get home I will have half a tin of macaroni cheese and then half a potato
With tuna mayo later.


I can't eat too much in one sitting as I don't want to push it so small meals regularly is what I aiming for.

How are you getting on x

 

[Anna1980]

Oh god Tracey I'm so jealous I want something better than soup, I'm ok today finally had a BM so not so bloated just want to chew something xx

 

[traceyb79]

Oh good that will make you feel better x

I was so ready for food. Have you tried things like custard for a bit of a change

 

[Anna1980]

Yeah iv made some homemade soup today, parsnips and carrots it's nice but I really want to chew I haven't chewed food for three weeks I guess another week won't hurt me, think I'll go for scrambled eggs for my first day xx

 

[traceyb79]

I know what you mean I was desperate to chew. Although what I'm having doesn't actually involve much chewing. Just looking forward to being able to have what I want but controlled

 

[Sophina]

Loving these recipe ideas ladies xxx

 

[Anna1980]

Yeah same here I'm going on a family meal the end of November so that will be interesting as to what I can have,I'll of had my first fill by then and almost due my second so should be ok xx

 

[traceyb79]

Yeah you should be fine by then.
I have a meal out with work next Thursday. And worried a bit. I have looked at the menu and there is macaroni cheese option but it has a crispy topping. I might just have to get that and pick at it.

 

[Anna1980]

Yeah that seems like a safe option lol the topping will be hard to discard as is the tastiest bit xx

 

[traceyb79]

Yeah I know. There are some lovely things that I would go for on the menu normally. So will be hard picking something just cos it's the only thing I can have

 

[Anna1980]

Well in all my life you know iv never ordered a salad as I always went for the biggest, that was normally a steak and many have said that they can't eat steak with the band so it will be interesting when I'm out xx

 

[traceyb79]

You might be lucky and still be able to eat steak, just maybe half though lol
