    Soup, good or bad?

    I make a good soup from allowed ingredients: Boil vegetables in beef broth add baked Beans when vegetables are cooked, cool and blend. This gives you vegies and Protein in a thick yummy soup!

    Liquids Post Op

    Sounds a bit weird but your doctor knows best, I was drinking normally after mine but only your surgeon knows what went down during your surgery, so its probably best to follow his guidelines for now. Or call him if your really concerned. As for the noises, I'd say they are normal! Haha so don't worry! My partner was getting quite annoyed at my constant "gurgle gurgle" but it'll go away so cheer up and enjoy the ride! Xoxo

    Q about Slippage

    Would be nice to know! Haha I'm 6 days post op and so scared to sneeze! And I sneezed today and freaked out!
  9. I was banded on June 24 and I thought I have been doing okay with my diet. But today in a moment of boredom decided to add my calories of the past few days and yesterday I had 133 cals and so far today I've had 170 cals. Someone suggested on another thread to be consuming 1000cals a day, im struggling to drink all this as it is! So this is what I had today: Jello 8 cals pumpkin cup of Soup 1/2 cup watered down 54 cals Protein shake 1/2 cup Water base 72 cals Cordial 1/2 glass. 36cals Any suggestions would be great

    New post op - need advice

    Thanks! Um I haven't tried yogurt yet, but I would probably Water it down with skim milk just to be safe! I've made some diet cordial ice blocks that I'm thinking about having for desert, really don't think ice cream is a good idea though, coz of the cream part! And my tummy just hurts all the time from gas! Last night I just tried dancing around the lounge room, and that loosened a bit up!

    Rice substitute

    My aunty has had the band for over a year now and she says that risotto made correctly doesn't cause her any problems? Just a thought.

    New post op - need advice

    Hi Liz I'm from perth, um I've been drinking v8 as well, so good! And the boxes of stock you get from the shops, like cambells, I use one box (250ml) with skim milk (200mls) for added protein. This is as well as some diet jelly and my protein shake. And I'm only 3 days post op
  15. Ok, so I'm feeling quite a lot of pain in the area around my port or above my tummy. I don't know whether its gas or general pain. I can't sleep coz of the pain and sitting and standing hurts too! I've tried anti gas meds but no effect. Should I try walking? Is it too soon to be walking?
  16. gwennybabe

    2 days post op

    I tried walking today but got very exhausted very quickly :smile:

    Hi I'm from Australia and am a lesbian too! Just so you know your not alone! Hehe
  19. Hmm well since having it done I've lost 2.2lbs. I need to pee a lot and the gas is drivin me crazy. As for the straw business, I can't find anything about them in my rules, but ill see how I go without one today
  20. Hmm ill check, maybe that's why I'm getting gas pains (or atleast that's what I thnk they are)
  21. I was banded on Thursday, and I definitely advise SIPPING not GULPING! Oh the pain when you gulp is BAD. But I'm getting there, now I just make sure everything I drink is out of a straw, that way I can only sip
  22. gwennybabe

    Wish me luck! Friday is the big day!

    Good luck! I had my surgery yesterday. All I can say is remember to take small sips when you come out it, gulps of water hurt!

    need advice

    So as you might have read in previous thread, my surgery date was announced for this Thursday and I only found out today, which means I haven't done my pre op diet. My surgeon says its ok but according to other websites I've read, this means I hav a chance they go in and don't proceed. I cant deal with loosing all that money but if I wait ill loose my spot in tertiary college. I don't know what to do! :'(

    need advice

    Just thought I would let you all know that I've had my surgery, and its all good. Tried to eat some broth and jelly for dinner but could only manage 3 bites of each!
  25. Well I'm from Australia. And we call it tafe, but if I were to call it that no one would know what I was talking about :P
