Can't even finish a scrambled egg

[Mixman]

Mum did me a wonderful scrambled egg this morning. 7 days from op and still can't eat it all :crazy:

I like this life so far

Its amazing how little food you need to fill you isnt it! good luck x

just wait till you stop being hungry altogether - my mother has gone from telling me to stop eating to complaining Im not eating enough! Madness!

I can not stand the taste of scrambled egg now

 

[candie]

God can you eat scrambled eggs already?I have to have liquids for 2 weeks post op

Same here, Candie - Mixman, did your team give you a 6 week plan for getting back to eating solids?

Yes, they did, I got quite a large informative bundle of dietry sheets!

Everything at the moment still has to be creamed/runny/sloppy etc and for the next 2 weeks or so. The egg had some philadelphia light cheese melted in and mushed in the microwave. It was heaven but I just couldn't eat it all.

She has also done my tiny shepherds pies. Really mashed down the mince and potatos with gravy and they have been great. Although, again, too much.

The most I have had is a 120g muller light smooth yoghurt, because of it's taste and consistency, is just enough!

I'm really over the moon as to how relatively easy I've found it

Hi Mixman
I think its fantastic how a little bit of food can fill you up after surgery . I cant wait so I can be the same , in stead of eating mountains of food . Take care .

I can't wait until I can say I am full on such a small amount. Well done and good luck with the rest of your journey.

Mmmmm Muller light yoghurt! Will get some in the fridge for Sunday - hopefully, the day I'll home from hospital! Isn't that amazing that's all it takes to fill you up! Your Mum sounds like the perfect nurse!

In all fairness, she's been fantastic, but the person to have if you ever need not to over-do anything? My DAD!!!!

He's been the softest, most worrying person ever. "Don't do that, I'll get it" "Come on I'll take you for a walk round the garden again" "Can I get you anything?" etc etc

I am blessed with parents so young in age as well, I am 38, my parents are both 56, and I have a 40 year old brother

 

[ilovemy5babies]

which hospital did you have your by-pass at?
glad you ve got good support

 

[Mixman]

I had mine done at Thornbury Hospital Sheffield by Dr. Ackroyd.

It's a private hospital he uses when all the NHS beds are full at the Hallamshire

 

[Jezabelle]

Your parents are/sound amazing Mixman. x

 

[thinkbethin]

You're a lucky fella mixman to have such supportive and caring parents. I need pampering so do you think your mum will do me some scrambled eggs lol

 

[gaelic girl]

Yes you could get your mum and dad to make us all some lovely meals ha ha. It's really weird to think that such a little food will satisfy me soon. You sound as if you are doing really well it's great to hear xx
