POST OP ROAST POTATOES!

[Moulin85]

So it's week 2 post gastric band and I am bored with just having liquids and starving!

We went out today and were in the cafe in Bentalls Shopping Centre, I ordered tomato soup and then saw the roast potatoes .... I'm thinking, if I mush them up and put them in my soup, then I can have something real to eat!

Now I am laying in bed in agony... Being attacked by what can only be roast pots and my band is taking revenge on me!

I have been so very good but was just desperate for something...

I feel dreadful and wonder if I have done the wrong thing by having this band!

I am also very cold all the time...no idea why, as I still have about 50kgs of fat to keep me warm!

OUCH!

oh dear, I can totally understand. After the horrid pre op and my first week post band I am close to desperation for something non liquid. The idea of mushies tho scares me a little. I hope you feel better soon chick. x x x

Thanks everyone! It really does pay to follow the rules cos this has to be the most uncomfortable thing ever! I think I felt invincible but now I have been corrected on that point.
I am going shopping in the morning for Weetabix and I think Farleys Rusks might do the trick. I will be steering well clear of tatties and bread etc for some time now!
Is this just while it all heals? Please tell me I haven't got to deal with this forever! Xx

Watch the Farleys dont buy regular get reduced sugar.they are still sweet and might make you dump.Readybrek was good.Dont be tempted by Oats with syrup either!

Banders dont dump Maz

Hi Moulin the good news is that eventually you will be able to eat a small amount of potato. The bad news is that you might not be able to tolerate roasties, chips etc when you have good restriction - I cant.

Bread is not good band food either, in that it can get stuck and swell in the pouch. I gave it up pre op and dont miss it all. So I think you are very wise avoiding it

There are lots of lovely things you can have but dont be in a rush to move onto the next stage.

If your hungry have something, wether its a smoothie, milky drink or whatever liquid 'food' you like.

Take care x

Soz forgot she was a bander!

Thanks Mazza, I will most defo be more patient now. The joy of eating those roasties was totally outweighed by the pain I am still in!
Glad you clarified the dumping thing, I was wondering about that.
When did u have your op? How is it working out?
