bypass daily menu -

I think it would be only right for you to be posting on here with us go for it xx Should you be having bread so early on? can give you probs you are still not fully healed inside just take care i know some hospitals allow different stuff. xx
 
Borogirl you are more than welcome to post here....

2 things....bread and biscuits four weeks post op is a very slippery slope....be careful this is for life but is only as good as what u put into it....we all have times wham we struggle but as u can only eat tiny make it super nutritious or u could b poorly....
 
I would be inclined to agree - I would worry about bread so early on, not least because you will still be eating tiny amounts and bread will fill you up - make sure you get that protein in!
 
I hope you dont mind another new face on this thread. Now I'm on soft and crispy I feel like I have something to contribute. I've been told 5-6 small meals at this stage, so that's what I'm doing. Although I'm thinking of it as 3 meals, 2 snacks and an evening milky drink. I bought a little dish which only holds 100mls, I use that for my meals because I still want to "finish my meal, like a good girl", haha.

Today goes like this:

B: small handful shreddies, 200ml skimmed milk. Actimel
S: 1 nurtigrain breakfast biscuit with a (LC) cheese triangle.
L: 1 medium egg scrambled.
S: 1/2 small banana and tsp peanut butter.
D: Slow cooked beef chilli and 1 tsp LF sour cream.
S: 1/2 milk, 1/2 water options drink.

In addition, 1 cup of decaf coffee, 1 cup of tea, and about 2 ltr of very weak hot NAS Ribena .
 
Menu today not tha best

B MSBB TOASTED
L DAIRY LEA DUNKER, MERINGUE NEST WITH CREAM,
D SMALL PASTA WITH CHICKEN N VEG WAS ONLY SNACK POT SIZE

I'm not posting as I'm massively struggling at the moment and keep vomiting my food up. My pouch seems to ache a fair bit and just a few bites puts me in pain and inevitably over a loo....I'm on meal replacement drinks/milk and yoghurt for a few days to see if it settles....I'm on holiday in a week and need to be able to stomach something!

Wow a few days off and I've missed so much.

New people! yay, everyone is so welcome, this is such a great thread to be a part of. For advice for food and general support. Get involved, take the advice and look out for each other :)

Amanda, I know you feel like you can't contribute at the moment but please stay in touch, you are such lovely lady, we miss you so very much. Even if you don't want to post menu's please stay in touch if you can. I'm so glad you've got your crisis team there for you and I hope they can sort something out with the lithium eventually as you deserve that. Have they tried you on Depakote before? My mum can't take lithium so takes that. It's not as extreme but it does a fair job and it might be more easily absorbed? good luck hun, and like I say please stay in touch some how x

Lovely to see you post Yve, great menu, I hope you keep posting :)

Maya, I thought you had gone quiet, maybe give you team a ring? It's kind of strange but I had a couple of days where I was mainly eating soup and think my pouch "shrunk" a bit. As yesterday I had half a sandwich on the train home from work and had to fight to keep it down and then I took my tablets at home and they came straight back up and then I went to my uncles birthday party and we had curry. I only had a few bites but again it came back up. I was fine after so not a bug or anything. Just think sometimes restriction can come back stronger at times. Maybe times of stress? Maya have you had any stress lately? if not then you should definitely call your team.

Anyway will post more menu's soon, but I'm having roast duck with steamed veg tonight and hoping it stays down. I lost 3lb last week, think it is slowing down now but love any loss so won't complain at all and got a lot of compliments from family members I have not seen since before the op last night so that was good.

Chrisa, much love to you at the moment, thanks for being so supportive. I hope you doing ok and your tooth isn't bothering you too much x

Hope everyone is having a lovely weekend and those of us who are struggling are doing the best we can :) xxx
 
May how long you been suffering like that pain is never good get it checked out could be an ulcer don't wait too long before seeking medical help. They might want to have a look with a scope. Hope today is better for you and you manage to keep food down stay on the lights for a bit but do speak to some one, if onky to find out its nothing, peace of mind is what you need xx
 
Hey guys thanks for advice....hmm been about a week on and off I think....I was up to eating a tea plate of food now back to almost grazing as I'm full on two bites but have zero energy....will give it a weekend on liquids/mush then go up the plan and see how I fare....not even losing as I think my bod is in real shock and hanging on to every ounce...plenty of fluids a rest for Percy and I will be fine.....v stressed at the mo and that's how I think it started....thanks for the tips enjoy your Sundays xxx
 
Hi I didn't log on yesterday so ate bread but now I have seen your wise words I won't have any for a few weeks.

Breakfast- I slice wholemeal with low fat flora ( won't again!)
Dinner - small bowl bolognase mince with low fat cheese grated in
Tea - half wholemeal warburtons thin (wont again!) 1 poached egg, half slice bacon 1 mushroom.
Snack - 1 petit filous.
Drinks - black coffee and NAS orange juice.

I was in the house all day yesterday and cooked lots and seemed to eat more. Some days I barely eat and others I can eat a lot more. During the week I take the dog out most days for an hour. But hubby does this on a weekend. I would have gone but it is soooo cold!!!

Seems like my need for food is morphing into cooking. Anyway I have made a dinner ready for today for everyone and done homemade veg soup so I will make better choices today without any bread! I will post my better choices of food later tonight. Thanks for letting me post on this thread. Your feedback is welcome!
 
Just a hint - when you fill your little plate aim for half being protein based, quarter veg and quarter carbs. Eat the protein first. I mention this because your menu does look a little light on protein
 
I agree and I find I eat protein first then after I have eaten it I treat my self to carbs but can only fit a little in
Went out last night for my daughters 18th to an italian had a egg cooked in a tomato sauce with roasted peppers and little bit of melted cheese
It was a starter but had it as a main course was very nice and had a very bad pudding lemon cheese cake and icecream could not eat it all but was yummy
Did not have alcohol as still a bit uneasy about trying it
Did not have a coffee after as was full but really enjoyed being bad
 
A treat now and then is fine Mark - be careful about seeing it as 'bad'. Often that can lead to a guilt cycle.
 
Well the snow is melting a little but it is still freezing out there i am having a pj day.
