bypass daily menu -

Is it just meat nellyphant that gets stuck or is it other foods. X

 

[Nellyphant]

Meat and eggs mainly. Haven't touched bread or toast. Crackerbread is okay. Cheese gives me grief sometimes too. I can only eat mince if it is really fine. It did come back up, not a lot so there must've been something stuck. Little bits of meat came out.

 

[dimond]

Thanks nellyphant. I honestly didn't think anything would get stuck with a bypass only a band. You learn so much on here with everyone's experiences x

Oh dear that doesn't sound good nellyphant. I've been lucky so far with meat and eggs but I know it can be a problem for some people. I hope you are feeling better soon. What are you like with fish?

Breakfast - 2 DS crispbreads with weight watchers tuna in coronation sauce
Lunch - 1 egg omelette with low fat cheese, spinach and mushrooms
Dinner - forgot to get anything out the freezer so a Heinz mini meal spaghetti carbonara with peas and ham
Snacks - Half a diet protein shake (actually hit 70grams of protein today for a change) and 2 crispbreads with low fat pate

Drinks - 2 teas, a light cranberry juice with water, pure Clementine juice with water, 2 pints of water.

Bad head day today. Can't stop worrying I'm doing this wrong and my team are never available for reassurance. Only been able to speak to a dietician once and that was for 5 mins before my surgery

 

[mayamoo]

Shelley I think you are doing just fine, good variety in there - more fruit n veg I think we all get so caught up on the protein and forget that but it helps us toilet wise and a good mixed diet keeps your body guessing. Don't worry, have your team an email address and gave u git a three month check comi.g up soon - I took photos of my portion sizes n a lust of questions to mine ..

Thank you. I think I've been getting too caught up in numbers protein, carbs etc and not thinking about the bigger picture. I'm going to make a concious effort for more fruit and veg as I've never been very good with those and thanks so much for the tip re being prepared for the 3 month check up. I shall take some pic's and write a list of questions so I'm well prepared and not worry about that side of it until then Thanks again x

Yes meat can be a problem to mosy fortunately i have been ok with meat fish has been a problem I can eat it now but only small bits think its too dry, it just seems to sit there i have to drink loads of water to get it through, meat i eat in small pieces and chew thoroughly, if its a bigger bit and i forget to chew properly i get alittle pain so check my self and try with the next peice. Everyone has their own little probs, luckily I have never been sick, I have felt it on numerous occasions but always been greedy won't part with it same at the other end constipatipon, but thta seems to be alot better these days so have made progress this year has flown over can't believe i'm nearly oneyear post already.
