bypass daily menu -

[melissa76]

Hi Melissa did you find the transition from soft foods to normal foods ok, just looking at your surgery date and you're 4 weeks ahead of me. I'm still on puréed stage for another week or so then soft food for 2 weeks then normal foods. I'm a bit scared actually incase anything gets stuck or I'm sick! Xxx

Hi dimond,

I went with the whole trial and error route! But must say some foods I couldn't eat 4 weeks ago my body is now tolerating, I was struggling with all meats but that seems to have settled, I slowly introduced more solid foods and it was a case a few times I was sick! But think that made me more aware of what I was eating. Start of steady and slowly introduce, ie cauliflower cheese, mashed sweet potatoes, then cauliflower cheese with broccoli, I ate a lot of fish and fish pie at the start.
I also found I was very sick on the liquid meds so went on to tablet form 2 1/2 weeks post op so think that made me aware that I could tolerate things a little more than I thought.
You will get there! When was your surgery? And where? How your weight loss?
Love Melissa x

Thanks Melissa. I had my bypass on 13th August in Darlington. I only lost 3 lbs on pre-op diet then 1 week after surgery whilst still in hospital! I put 1 lbs on. Got weighed last Monday and lost 9 lbs yippee so can't wait for this Monday to see if I have lost again. I have to be on puréed for 4 weeks then 2 weeks on soft food then I can start to introduce normal food. I was 14 stone 1 when I had my surgery, ideally I need to lose 5 stone as I'm only 5 ft tall, but hey 9lbs is a good start! You seem to be doing great, well done xxx

Weigh in day for me today and I've lost 5lb this week. Over the moon with that after a couple of weeks of 2lb. Just 2lb to go until I've lost 6st and 3lb until I'm in the 19's. Will be ecstatic to get out of the 20's and be a "teen" again. Hopefully in time for my 32nd birthday night out next sat. Now I just have to work out what to eat today!
