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
