Am I eating too much mushies?

[PinkDaisy]

Hi guys

Today is my 2nd day on mushy food and I have had:

B: Oat so simple
L: Full Tesco's own brand shepherds pie ready meal (very sloppy) and skinny cow ice lolly
D: Mash potato and gravy about 8tbsps

Is this too much, I am managing food fine, only problem I had was tonight when I ate the mash n gravy too quick I brought a little bit back up which was nasty as i started sweating and salivating...not gud wont be eating quickly again.

I am just paranoid im able to eat so much so soon

Everyone is different. So what might seem too much for one isn't for the other. I am errr, mmm, about 12 weeks post op and I still can't manage a full microwave meal! Maybe they overdid it on the staples!!

no...don't worry !!!!

everyone's different and some days you can eat more that other days.

I find that I have difficulty in the morning with food but can eat much more in the evening.

you're quite normal for this stage

You're doing ok. It hurts bad does'nt it when you eat too quick? I felt like I was having a heart attack lolx

PD - I obviously can't comment on this cos you are 5 days ahead of me, however, I wanted to say that looks about right according to the WLSG handbook. Oh & I am sooo jealous you are able to eat food! It must have been heaven to have something yesterday!!!!

It was heaven lol, im going to try having half a ready meal with veg for lunch and half for tea instead of a whole one for lunch then something else for evening meal, see how that goes, im bludy sick of seeing 20.0 on the scales i want to see 19 sumthing ahhhhh!!

Can't help you PD as I am a bypasser, but doesn't the restriction kick in much later on for you banders? I think eating too quickly is an issue for all of us who have undergone surgery...youch!!!

its difficult because we are all different i couldnt have eaten a whole micro meal but thats just me, i would recommend varying what your eating as well carreroled veg is great and filling and mashes swede n carrot fills you up and next to no cals, another of my fav meals on mushes was strawberrys and half a banana for lunch, i have a bowl toddler/kids size and if it dont fit it the bowl it doesnt get eaten that way i know im not eating to much
