I am ok thanks doing ok, hubby following it with me. I am currently decreasing my anti-depressants and am really pleased how that is going too.

Tomorrow I will be 4 weeks post-op and to be honest I'm really struggling getting enough fluids down me, which is probably why I've been having trouble with constipation.

I usually have half a weetabix saturated with SS milk for breakfast. Also 2 teaspoons of yogurt to take my forceval multivit in.
Mid morning I have about 250ml of a slimfast shake.
Lunchtime I have approx 200ml of soup or about 5 cubes of my frozen liquidised meals.
Mid afternoon I try to remember to have some yogurt - about half a pot of activia.
Evening meal - again either soup or some of my cubes from the freezer.
I haven't even been managing 1litre of water with NAS juice most days but I am trying to improve, but it's hard now I'm back at work because I get engrossed in what I'm doing & forget to drink.

I am starting to get a bit tired of the sloppy food but don't think I'm brave enough to try anything else just yet. It's worst when I see hubby & the kids having their meals - it's like torture! I didn't expect to feel this bad about seeing other people eat.

Im 3 weeks post op today, been feeling really sick a lot but feel ok today. Beginning to feel fed up with liquids now, wondering if I should try some sloppy scrambled egg for tea or leave it for another week............

Hi Gemma

Be wary of eggs. You'd think you'd be ok with them but I tend to find that they get a bit stuck, regardless of how long you chew them for.

Try something mushier like mashed spud & cheese or one of my favs was re-fried beans with cheese on top.

 

[gemrovers]

Hi Gail, I been eating mashed spud for a couple of week, I was really surprised I could tolerate it but I been ok. Think I'll stick to soup for tea!!!

 

[LisaG]

I'm really jealous of all of you. 6 days post op and can just about manage half a cup of tea and half a cup of unsweetened (and diluted) juice a day Bah humbug!

 

[madstaffyblonde1]

I'm now 5 days post op and my daily intake is
1 mug of coffee
1mug of boveril
1tin of soup
3 glasses of nas squash
1-2 pints of ss milk
I did ring the hospital to make sure they had done the surgery lol

 

[jaynefrances]

Today i had the usual 20g of cornflakes with skimmed milk and water with my pills. I had a fruit shoot whilst at uni and some cheese scone for lunch. When i got home i had a glass of skimmed milk. For tea i just had a bowl of prawns as didn't fancy a proper meal and i have just had a small diabetic choc cornflake cake with a cup of tea. (oh and extra fluid with the lovely movicol !)

Hi Sweetie.

Is this typical for you? Great protein levels and really glad to see you're managing to control the carbs but worried you haven't got much variety yet. Hope the sickness meds kick in soon so you can eat a wider range of foods xx

No it was not typical, it was pure carbs the past 2 weeks as i was on a carb fest as it was a combo of head hunger and not feeing sick when eating carbs.
So now i am being extra strict with myself and the carbs are good carbs and noooo head hunger eating, still dropped 7lbs more in the past 9/10 days though variety does not bother me at all just want to get rid of sickness and lose more weight.
Hows u hun xxx

Well i have tried very hard to incorporate some new foods to my diet today, ie cheese and salad and wholemeal bread, but in doing this my protein level has dived today so i need to sit down and find a happy medium and poss reduce the carbs but i will wait till next week and weigh myself and see what the losses are like, not 2 sure bout increasing the calories at this stage as this amount of food has been more than enough for me.

Tesco Mozzerella small slices x3

Dinner
Nimble - Wholemeal Bread,1 slice= 22 g
