Does this sound too much ?

[elffie01]

Well Ive been pretty confident with the amount im eating up until this week lol.
Today I have had
B- actimel
Drinking flavoured water all day, 1 tea 1 coffee
L- 1 scrambled egg
T - 1 fish in sauce (boil in the bag goo) and about a dessert spoon of mash

I cant honestly say I want anything further other than a drink later on. But Im wondering if one fish in sauce with mash is a hell of a lot to eat in one meal when Im only 2 weeks out. ?

Im probably being daft but its been a strange kind of day, dont think my mind has been with my body for most of it lol

I cant remember if you had band or bypass but that doesn't sound like much to me, you didn't have a proper breakfast, was it 1 or 2 scrambled eggs? and dinner sounds fine to me

sounds fine to me

I'm having boil in the bag fish with carrots and peas...thay are pretty naff but as I'm eating alone, couldn't be bothered to think of anything else ...feeding half the fish to the cat as we speak!

no...it doesn't sound too much

Had a bypass yummy
It was one scrambled egg, I know I couldnt manage 2

Its just the plate seemed to have a lot on it with fish, sauce and mash.

Thanks guys, I just wanted to check, Im sure I know deep down its ok but that second check was all I needed. I dont feel over full but I do feel full so thats ok.

Sounds ok if you are managing it with no ill effect, i had some lovely trout ( youngs frozen) yesterday with some pkt holandaise sauce and mash ( i just did the fish in tinfoil with fresh lime juice) it was lovely and for the 1st time felt like a real meal x

Sounds like you're doing fine but I'm a bander so not sure for bypass so I'd listen to them if I were you lolxx

hi elffie01 yeah sounds ok im in same position but your a week in front im a bit confused as in book thay give you says if you are ok with blended food then move onto muchy.but dosn't say how long to stay on blended.i tried mushy for one meal with no problems for one meal but am scared cos only been on blended for a week.

you gotta listen to your body, i am in the same boat also, dunno if i'm eating enough/too much....Glenda rang me in the week, and asked how i was getting on, and i told her the amounts i was eating, and she said as long as you're feeling comfortable it doesn't matter...she seems to think i'm eating enough so that's good enough for me....jeff, if you fancy eating more tectured food, then go for it, look, plain and simple, if your pouch don't like it, it'll pop back up, so you'll know to slow down, play it by ear matey, and hope your recovery is going well the pair of you, i'm rocking and rolling...cooking on gas, back to work yesterday, so progressing well, hope you both are ok

 

[elffie01]

thanks guys. I know its not even half of what I would have eaten prior to the bypass but I dont want to be overdoing it so early on. And to top it all I did a sneaky weighin before Monday and lost nothing! Well today (yeah i got on them again ) I have lost 1lb ! Bit miffed but fingers crossed for next week!

I got to drink more, although yest I did drink more than I have done since I came out of hosp.

Glenda rang me on Weds and said that I sounded to be doing ok and to stay like I am for a couple more weeks and then move onto minced stuff. Well ok I had fish and no I didnt puree it...bleurgh:jelous: but it was in sauce so i mushed it lol.

Mark are you back working driving your cab i feel likei am able to drive now but am worrid about seatbelt if emergancy stop..im having staples out on monday so might give it another week....missing car and getting around ....lol

 

[marky v]

hi bud, yeah, i'm back driving again, since last Friday, bear in mind i don't wear a seatbelt at work, but have been driving my own personal car with seatbelt on and no problems, i wouldn't worry about emergency stops, slow your driving down more than usual and you'll give yourself plenty of time to brake, hope you're recovering well now

Wel Ive gone off the fish now, its not nice in the first place lol.
Had a 1/4 of a WW cottage pie and it was ICK! My taste buds are changing everything lol.
I have now goine from a coffee with 2 sweeteners to 1 sweetener today. Had fish last week, its gross this week. Had a jacket pot for lunch didnt like that either.
Tonights tea is a farm shop meat pie -insides only lol as the pastry looks like I could use it as a dustbin lid its that thick.
That was painful, stepping in the farm shop and seeing bacon and smelling it... thats the only thing Im really missing at the moment. But I know Ill be able to have it later so Im just waitig for the day lol. Bought a huge and I mean HUGE savoy cabbage for 59p in there though it will feed 6 of us with half of it lol its enormous ! Asda sell savoys at 1/4 the size for about 70p lol. Might make bubble n sqeak with some of it.

Im feeling better about my food again now, I think I was just having a bad week last week.
