The Raw Truth from the start

Ps if you feel hungry, drink juice/water. It's the oldest lecture in the book but does help. I found it helped anyway. I'm struggling now to remember not to eat or drink before/with/after food especially when the soup was so spicy!!

A small amount of plain yogurt helps cool down the tongue when eating spicy food, much more so than water or any other drink.

I had a bit of low fat creme freche but about ten minutes later got myself a cold drink and didn't even think! Do they say that so that you are not sick? Maybe it's not affecting me at the mo because I have no fill? Think that will be a culture shock further still!

No not about being sick , if u drink with your meal it can wash all the food in your tiny new pouch and empty it leaving you feeling hungry hope this helps good luck xxxxx

[JO28172]

Is that just the cold bug kicking in?

 

[mimi42]

i dont think so, OH has been doing some research and because iv got a kidney desease i cant eat to much protein and slimfast shakes have to much so they have upset me.
so we are now looking at an alternant diet for me now 1week b4 and after op.

 

[JO28172]

Can't you replace them with semi skimmed milk instead? Could be worth a shot? Sorry as don't know much about kidney probs to help

We've paid alot of money for that operation and the "aftercare" I was looking on the website last night and the dieticians are well trained. Make sure you contact them and ask them for help finding a solution. That's what we've paid them for. Hope you feel better soon, I was exhausted for a few days then the adrenaline kicked in and I got through the last few days on that energy alone! X
