bypass daily menu -

I've had a upset tummy today, which you probably don't want to hear Amanda but I've been eating a lot of fruit lately, lots of pineapple. Not everyone can manage it as its texture can be hard to digest but I've found it really making me go. Although our high protein low carb diets are really important, I would reduce the protein and up the fibre content until things are better for you. Fingers crossed hun xx
 
Actually shelleymarie just what I wanted to hear lol!! I will try some pineapple tomorrow, and try and forget about protein for a few days, as I really don't want to go down the hospital route.. Can I ask you though?? If you are eating a lot of fruit how much carbs are you taking in daily??
 
be just a bit careful about too much pineapple - its very acidic - I once burnt my mouth on it!
 
Thanks Yvessa, I will go easy with it at first as it's not a fruit I have had yet since the bypass...
 
You may find tinned easier than fresh as the tinned stuff tends to be softer. Also black strong coffee may help.
 
I'm sticking to around 60 grams of carbs a day. Whether that's right I don't know but I'm usually under but I try to make the carbs I have mainly from fruit but I also have some wholegrain bread occasionally and wholegrain crackers. Most days I'm under 60 but I don't worry if I go over by a bit as long as my protein is higher but as I said a few days reducing the protein won't hurt if it means you can go and not have to go to hospital x

Just wanted to say when I've say I've had lots of pineapple lately I've had no more than 100g's at a time and had that twice today for the first time. Wouldn't want anyone to have more and dump and will always say be careful to have less when you first try anything as it's texture can be difficult to digest for some x
 
Yeah pineapple is good it can clean out the system for you, herbs used to kill me with in half an hour of eating I used to be crippled and off too the loo bout 3 times till it was all through. On A morning hot drink before my food helps to push things down and out. Hope today is the day if you have to help yourself manually then do it only you will know and anything is better than hospital good luck Amanda xx Am feeling better today better night sleep not a smuch coughing xx
 
Good morning everyone.. Glad you are feeling a little bit better chrisa.. Thanks for the advice about the pineapple guys... I got up early this morning and went to our local greengrocer and bought a pineapple, and had 100gms of it for my breakfast.. My stomach cramps are really horrible though but still haven't been to the loo as yet and I have to go today or else its the hospital, but am really frightened to go as I know it is going to hurt horrendously!! I am sure that is why I am getting so much pain everytime I eat because I am so blocked up.. Anyway I am going to stick to mostly fruit today as well as the laxatives and hope for the best..In truth just feel like crying!! Sorry people, its not a very nice subject I know, but don't have anyone else to talk about this with as I live alone so am quite isolated....
 
Amanda I have just private messaged you, if you don't know how to get it go on the top bar community, friends, then chrisa and it should be there xx

Hi all I am slightly worried about Amanda not heard anything from her now since around 1pm today and she said she would get back to me!! Can anyone help, I know she was having a lot of pain with the blockage just bit concerned incase she has passed out and know she is on her own. I also am aware that if she doesn't go today, she has to go into hospital. Really hope she is ok.

My menu todya has not been to great not eat evrything I should no fruit a sof yet.

B 1msbb toasted with 1 poached egg
L 1mssbb with slice of ham
D 1 WW OCEAN pie
tea, coffee, water, cough medicine s/f of course ans s/f cough sweets
 
I'm concerned too. Makes me think about maybe exchanging numbers or adding on Facebook (those that have it) but hopefully see just hasn't had the chance to check in or if she has had to go to hospital I'm sure she will given the relief she needs xx
 
HI everyone!! Chrisa have just sent you a pm to say thank you for your support and advice over this... Finally managed to go.. painful and not very nice but its done now thank goodness. Never want to be that constipated again... Thank you to everyone else also for their concern.. Its such an embarrassing subject, and I really was getting so scared I was blocked up completely...
Hopefully now I can start getting back to normal again. xxx
