Hi Kimmie, Glad your weekend went well. I been having the same problem myself and I was told it may be a reaction to the gallstone tablets. I have started to feel alot better now I have stopped taking them. Other than that until we are on solid food, I think they will be sloppy poppy lol. I am just resigning myself now lol xx

Diet sounds pretty much like mine, cud murder something solid!

Lovely weekend joanne just what the Dr ordered brill sat watching everybody else drink and be stupid they all moaned oh I feel ruff and over indulged while I just laughed at them all lol I'm not too bad as yet for solid have u tried jacket tatey yet Joanne I bought a packet if the ready made ones that pop in the microwave at the lodge I struggled think they were a little hard not like a home cooked one in the end I put some tomato soup on top and just ate the really really soft bit and had the soup around it lol xx

I am so jealous....... Only started pureed yesterday after 3 wks of liquid only. I have just enjoyed a little sloppy scrambled egg (whoopee). Only 2 weeks 6 days till I can start introducing solid foods..........

 

[soohoo]

elo everyone.im on pureed.had the first 2 weeks on liquids.my hubby did me potato cauli and cod with milk.err horrible it was like a fish milkshake disgusting.but when I was in hospital for 6 days the food was pureed.and they said that was the food they did for bariatric.ive been sleeping so long on my back which I hate.but tried sleeping on my left.but it hurts.its like something sharp digging in.but there are allsorts of aches and pains at the moment.i had tears yesterday.which at some point I expected.the nurse said this can happen.but I had a ladies op years ago and I was same.today is another day.im sure in a couple of months all this will have worked itself right.and we will pick up.you all take care soohoo

Hi Kimmie, I havent had jacket potato (never like potato to start with) but I have had to have some for my carbs.

I made a corned beef hash and I have to say it was bloomin gorgeous, that had potato in it and did the job of thickening without the use of gravy granules.

I am eating allsorts and usually have about two to three tablespoons of food at each sitting. Sometimes I get a little pain but think this may be wind along with eating a little quickly maybe. not sure, its a learning curve at the moment.

The runs have now stopped thank god now the tablets are out of my system. I feel great today finally and feel like myself again. Starting anew with the regular eating and sleeping etc.

Hope everyone else is ok and thinking of u all xx

Hiya Joanne glad all is well my runs have still not stopped tried another option today after reading about on the net of all the things milk! I sent the other half to the shop this morning to get me some soya milk touch wood I had my breakfast at half 10 nothing as yet not even a stomach grumble so maybe it could have been milk!

I seem to be sticking with the soups more at the min I am a bit scared to get too adventurous although I did have a baby rusk last nite I quite enjoyed it shared it with the dog my vice at the min is dairy lea triangles I can't seem to get enough of them not doing too bad on the fluids either each day dilute pop is tasting more normal lol xx

 

[StrawberryCow]

Not having the best of days...... got the runs. Think it might have been pureed beans I had last night. Tired soup for lunch didn't do very well with it. Will try a little stew in a minute to see if that stays put.

Still no weight loss............. :-(

 

[princess4d4]

strawberry remember you might not lose the weight but could be losing the inches instead and the weight loss will come everyone loses at different rates keep your chin up
