Is it lunch time yet?

I can't drink tea haven't done for 5 yrs now and coffee was once a day max before the op can't even stand the smell of it now. I was drinking NAS lemon juice but soon stopped that when it didn't like me anymore. Now I have my fav drink and that's fresh orange. Today I thought I would give food another go so weetabix for breakfast soup for tea, my drink 1 glass of Oj at 4.30 and still trying to drink that now. Made me feel ill so defo no food tomorrow just gonna have to deal with this slowly. X
 
I found fruit and barley nas squash to be my new best friend make it up in a 500ml bottle and take it everywhere with me always sipping that way
 
Now that sounds yummy :) we've got pork chop, new potatoes and mixture of veggies including brussel sprouts :) hmm can't wait been out so missed lunch and have been picking since we've been home lol
Not sure whats the best, the torture of not being able to eat........... or the opposite trying not to shovel too much in LOL

Hope you enjoyed the little you had....... just concentrate on the fluids and getting some protein in the rest will fall into place eventually......... x x x x x x feet up now .......... movie time :) x x x x x
 
Sounds delicious I have yet to brave pie as savoury pastries were my previous downfall hope your doing better

I keep trying any food at the min but just no luck causes too much pain then I have to be sick. Better be right by xmas day coz I'm so lucking forward to it.
 
Sorry to sound thick, but are you still on sloppy foods. After reading your dinner I could taste it, made me hungry.
So hope we will be ok for Christmas, even a very tiny bit of dinner.

Take Care
 
I switched over to a small side plate and a child's knife and fork plus i do the 20 20 20 this keeps the amounts your eating very small... sometimes just too bigger bits can make you sick.. or eating too fast.......... hope i'm not preaching to the already converted :) if not give it a go :) nothing bigger than 20p at a time 20 chews, wait 20 seconds and eat no longer than 20 mins ............ there was one lady i used to chat too for months was being sick after eating and soon as she swapped to a small fork it stopped......... she was just taking too much at one time!!!

Of course i cant comment on the kinds of foods.... having a bypass must be really difficult with choices to try and avoid that nasty dumping..... its never a concern with a band :) Keep trying hunni, it all you can do......... don't give up, you've come so far already :) x x x x x huge hugs coming your way :) are your drinking protein drinks? keep your strength up x x x x

Thanks for the advice hun I try to follow the 20 thing but as soon as the pain starts I stop so never more than a min or two yes still on soft and at this rate it will take 2 years lol not 20 mins. Really shouldn't complain have dumped twice now but this pain hits me right through to my back really. Weird xxx xxx
 
Wwwww your Sunday dinners sound fab ladies sat here salivating!
Cupid sounds like you've been on a roller coaster over the past couple of weeks but 3 stone 1lb is amazing! Big hugs! X x
 
Cupid. I was never a water drinker even pre op. I still struggle with fluids and don't think I ever manage two litres a day. I spoke to my dietitian about it and she is the same. I thnk I manage about two to three pints a day and as long as I'm not getting constipated at that, it just has to do. I don't drink and eat at the same time generally but in the evening I sit down with a liberte yoghurt and a large mug of tea. I figure that the yogurt is liquefying anyway on the way down. Some days if I'm really struggling with fluid I will do this twice
 
Oh your probably wonder why the tea and yoghurt.....the yoghurt replaces the pre op biscuits, teas too wet without one lol, the yoghurt helps me get the tea down

Well if it works for you then that's fab hun, I know I have to drink more it's just the doing it. Hubby is a big tea drinker coming from a yorkshire mining village make ya thirsty he tells me buy he's lived in scarborough 25 yrs so now it's the sea air that does it lol. Give him his due though every time he looks my way he say drink that drink. Had a glass sat at the side of me and drank a third of it in 4 hours. Better day tomorrow I say :)
