I have an announcement ... Today is Week 6, Day 2 post bypass. Yesterday (and today, so far) I have not thrown-up, as have done every day since starting solids last week. Hurrah!
Had lunch with a couple of friends today, and altho I was a bit anxious in case (!) I ordered the most sensible option from a limited menu which was an egg mayo and watercress sarnie which came with a bit of garish and a tiny handful of crinkle crisps. I ate the sarnie minus the crusts, half a cherry tomato from the garish (bit worried about the skin), and all the chippies!! It took me ages but how normal did I feel. Peeps - there is light at the end of the (interminable weeks of LSD, postop fluids and purees) tunnel! xxx

They're not foods I'd want to eat regularly but I reckon it's wise to try things in certain situations so we know for next time. Yeah, it was good x

I read that pineapple juice helps breaking down the enzymes in other foods, and did do that when I got stuck a few weeks back, but I can't tell you whether it helped or whether the blockage just went of its own accord eventually. May be worth a try anyway, just in case!
Hope you feel better soon.

Hey Drod, you home yet? Can't wait to hear how your audience with your surgeon went? I had my post-op check with mine on Monday. He was pleased, my bloods were ok, and he reminded me yet again of the rule of 'granny's teaplate' ;-)

Ok ready for my full report.. LOL first off my dr's fill in since my dr went on vacation was very helpful.. 1. On my list I told her about the grits issue and how I felt like I had a blockage she told me to water them down more next time but not to worry about it next time call the office if I feel that I have a blockage again.. 2. Laxatives I asked her if it was ok to take them since I've always had issues with my bowels she said it was ok but I should use milk of magnesia or miralax which I have neither so I will use what I regularly use with is a natural pill. 3. Can I eat fresh fruit she said in week 4 I can but if I do want to eat fruit it should be of soft texture like a banana something I can smash like a peach. 4. The gallstone pills to prevent gallstones they no longer give those pills so I have to wait and see if I get gallstones then we'll go from there other than that they removed my strips on my incisions.. I start taking my vitamins tomorrow and she told me to drink more liquids because I'm not drinking enough and going to the bathroom enough I should be going at least 5 times a day. She afraid I will get dehydrated do I need to stick with the fluids even if I feel full she said sip throughout the day.. So other than that all went well my next apt is in 3 wks..

Excellent. I sense you are feeling pretty positive Drod! I would be. Every day it gets easier. I could do with drinking more - you have inspired me. Take care hun xx

LOL.. Candy crush is an addiction been stuck on level 161 for over a month.. It's 7 pm over here watching Family Feud now but that time difference is crazy but it makes perfect sense I wonder if you came to the states you could get use to the time difference and if I went over there I could get use to that time.. Lol just a thought

Lilac, can I ask how much of the sandwich you had, was it one slice of bread, or two, with the filling?
I ask as I saw my resourceful dietician the other day and he said in 6 months I should be able to eat 1/2 of a single slice of bread sandwich with tuna & sweetcorn (yuk!) and be full to bursting.
I'm just moving onto 'food' 13 weeks post-op due to problems and can eat less than a flea
. A sandwich seems light years away

Jemima - it was a regular full round ie two pieces of wholemeal, with the crusts taken off so four v small triangles. I ate each in three parts, starting with the rather sparce egg fillings (v little mayo TBH) then nibbling the bread. It took ages (but it should do) and I couldn't have eaten it in the normal way by biting into the triangle as the mouthful would have been too big. It was satisfying, and I didn't feel over full.
I've been having a slice of Nimble toast without crusts as a breakfast option for over two weeks now.
The thought of a Tuna sandwich makes me want to heave. What a curious choice to be advised!? Must be related to the fat maybe? xx

Actually tuna is high in protein but v filling.
