Had 1/3 of a ww meal tonight. Salmon broccoli n spud in sauce all whizzed up with some water added. It tasted so good n had no problems. Also had some low fat custard n both stated well n caused no probs.
wondering if I've had this bypass as had no problems drinking n runny slopping yet

Wow you're doing so well! I struggle to fit all my liquids in and by the time I'm finished swallowing my pills and drinking my vitamins I'm too full up for anything else. It took me an hour to have a fage Greek yoghurt yesterday and was so full up at the end of it I had to lie down. It's a really strange feeling and I'm worried because my protein is so low. Going to ask the hospital team on Wednesday when I see them as don't want to stall my weight loss before it's even started because I'm not having enough! Your pounch is the size of an egg apparently, I assumed they meant a chickens egg, mine feels more a cadburys mini egg.

We're all different. I'm convinced being an ex bander helps as my body has been through so much this hasn't fazed it as much I expect.
I've done a reply in your diary.
We're all different , remember that hunny n u will be fine. You have good healthy skin inside, mine was a mess and organs were so that may be why. I'm floppy your tight. X

I'm still yet to try my tablets yet, called the hospital and they said it's up to me but to try and hold off until I'm on mushies and coping well with that stage I've stopped taking my anti depressent in liquid form as it's making me wretch and I don't want to hurt my pouch. I'd rather get Teary than throw up and hurt my pouch :/ xx

Will you not get withdrawals from not taking your antidepressants? I get withdrawals from mine. The tablet form of mine make me dump and the drops are vile they make me sick but I've been managing to take them by mixing them with yoghurt xx

My mood will more than likely drop, crying will probably start and my anxiety could start back up.. I shake both on and off them.. I have to take 10ml liquid for a night dose and 5ml a morning, haven't been doing the morning one at all.. It's vile, I start wrenching as soon as I open the bottle.. I'm only just coping with Tramadol dissolvable form but I am only taking that at bed time. I take calpol in the day if I need it.. Xx

That's not so good! They gave me tramdol capsules in the hospital and I managed fine! I'm on calpol thru the day and still needing it. Was given liquid codeine to take home but I'm scared to take this incase I get constipated. Hopefully your moods and anxiety will improve over time xx

I have Tramadol capsules normally for my back pain but was sent home with the dissolvable tablets, they taste very strongly of aniseed.. I am already constipated, or just not going often, though it takes effort when I do need to go! Tmi!
But the dietician I spoke to on Friday (the nurse is on holiday) said to stay off tablets and capsules as long as possible
it's so frustrating xxKirsty

I manage fine with swallowing my anti-D pills but I want to try to come off them - one less pill a day appeals to me. I hate all the liquid stuff to swallow especially the iron and the multivitamin is so sweet. Would much prefer a pill alternative where possible although they fill my tummy up!
Do be careful coming off your meds like that Kirsty, I went off them without gradually doing it under my gps supervision and ended up feeling so bad in myself that I ran away from home like a stroppy teenage girl (I did however book myself into a lovely 5 star hotel in Brighton tho.) xx

Have you tried centrum fruitable vits and mins?
I came off them the same way when I had my op for about a week, then started on the liquid form, but only been taking it every other day until the Thursday just gone because like I said, it's making me wretch as soon as I open the bottle
I won't stay off it long, I've got a week until I'm on mushies so hopefully start on the tablets not long after that.. I'm lucky that I'm currently at my mums so she's looking after me and knows to watch for my moods.. But hoping to go home soon, I'm sometimes better when I'm on my own as being around people too much drives me mad. Had a quiet weekend alone as mum and step mum have been to London for the weekend to see friends. They're on their way back now, but I've had a good weekend, no lows moods Which I'm glad of xxKirsty

No haven't tried that, I need to find some alternatives as this is killing me.
I'm glad to hear you've got your mum watching out for you though. It's lovely to have time on your own though, people annoy me sometimes and in my household you barely get a minute. I remember my mum always saying silence is golden - so get it now haha. Xx

They have been a god send to me! I have to take 2 a day but can take whenever and just chew they and they disintegrate! Nice flavour too, they don't fill me up either, the other I tried I had to drink with them to get rid of the flavours but I don't with these.. Asda currently have them on 3 for £10 aswell, so a good deal
I've lived on my own for 5 years, but used to spend so much time at my cousins with her and her 5 children but recently I've spent loads of time at home and it's the best thing ever. Just me and my 2 cats lol it's bliss! XxKirsty

Thanks hon I will investigate! I have 4 cats and a puppy, today my partner, sons and step daughters went out for a family lunch I thankfully got out of so first time in an age I have the house to myself and just loving how clean and quiet it is. I will probably miss them by 3 though lol xx
