Ive seen this written alot on here, im pre op so i cant really comment but i suppose like anything it takes time to adjust, including your body to the surgery, dust yourself off and new day tomorrow an all that! good luck x

Hun u have not damaged ur pouch from the food u have eaten, but ur def brave to eat nuts 3 weeks post op
One thing i will say and this is from experience pls try and not get urself back into any bad habits so early post op as this is the best time to start re educating urself and starting to introduce good life time habits.
Take care xx

Hiya, we had our ops the same day, and yesterday I ate some mash, with veg and gravy, and just mashed it, but it caused me a lot of pain, so have been taking it easy today, had porridge and yoghurt, and then half a fish pie, but liquidised it, aren't risking that pain again, or damaging my pouch, hope I haven't damaged it permanently after yesterday xxxxx

hi just a quick update rang my service provider today who told me if i had damaged my pouch at this early stage i would know as i would feel sick and have pain, he also told me to up my portion size a little so long as i have no more than the centre of a small plate.

Hi Susiean, nuts a bit further down the line for snacking on will be a good protein shot for you. I have the 'occasional' sugar free sweet when my mouth is dry in the car and it won't kill you. I expect like me pre op you'd have eaten the bag full swiftly followed by a choc bar.. Don't beat yourself up over it, just take each day as it comes from now on hun xx

I asked about the insulin for diabetics question and the question about the usual age limits.
It was a great turn out... let's keep in touch and meet for sure next time... you looked great.
Do hope you are feeling better... please let me know how you are... much love xxx
