Wishing the time away to get to next stage

I feel i'm wishing weeks away at a time so i can have some normality back in my life. I'm sick of being sick and not getting back to normal. I'm 9 days post op and having to exist on juices, smoothies and the odd slimfast or soups as i cant have these to often as i'm milk intolerant. I've been on liquids for 23 days and feel constantly hungry,tired and miserable. Only 5 more days til i can eat scrambled eggs mmmmmm.

Hi there I know what you are going through I felt like I was on liquid forever three weeks befor my op and two after, but just hang in there it really is worth it xxx

 

[mummykcb]

Oh i know its worth it, mainly to be able to respect myself again, help my health issues and hopefully not need Rubie(my mobility scooter) anymore.

it does seem a long time while you're waiting. . . .I was the same .. .altho saying that, even tho Im now on the food stage, I find that I actually have more liquid/yoghurt thing even by choice.

No choice from tomorrow cos I get my first fill and its back to liquids for 3 days, then mash for 3 days lol

I thought it was a day for each, is it different for each provider as my friend went through Spire and hers is a day of each. And someone recently posted that her dietitian from THG had changed it to 1 of each.

My Journey to thinness

Well its now been just over 3 weeks since i had my surgery and what a journey its been. Suspected blood clot in the lungs, confirmed collapsed lung, and flu. But on the plus side almost all my Palindromic Rheumatism/ Fibromyalgia symptoms seem to have subsided which could mean i'm finally having a remission :bliss: I'm finding it difficult to find mush food that i like which is hard. only 4 days til back on solids and i cant wait. No wonder babies spit out mush food, i dont blame them.

[mummykcb]

I'm in Cornwall and finding it really difficult to eat the right thing arm. Any ideas for early stages as neat replace.ent would be gratefully received.

Are you in a hotel, b & b, with family, camping, caravanning?

 

[ThinnerJemima]

Maybe find a local supermarket. Packets of ham/cooked chicken. Hummus. Melba toast. Yoghurts. Milk - lots of it!

Good luck & keep away from the yummy clotted cream

 

[Meggie moo]

Skinny latte, protein bars from chemists - very filling and quite nice (thanks fluttery tried the dark orange and god I love it - I get my chocolate hit without needing any more)

I was self catering, but finding it hard to live without meat as due to having milk intolerance i find it hard to eliminate another food group as well as dairy. Have been back on plan today and due to having too much milk i have had stomach cramps and diarrhea too. I'm struggling but dietitian no help whatsoever.

Blimey poor you, hope you get sorted soon x

If you can tolerate soya products, then the local health food store will have a wide selection of non-dairy ready-to-drink shakes, shake powder, yoghourts, cheese etc as well as yummy low carb, no sugar, high protein meal bars.

I hope you find something suitable and yummy x

Am feeling really good as i now am wearing size 22 jeans and around an 18 top. I'm also getting close to having a towel fit around me so feeling a little better about myself.
