Looking for suggestions



Recommended Posts

Hi Again guys hope this finds you all well :)

In a few days I will be on the vitamised stage and am looking for some suggestions,I know there are receipes on here for that stage but I really want to know what you guys had during this period? Some suggestions would be greatley appreciated..

I am feeling really good and am going about as normal (well almost) Been a littleeeeeeee hungry but not starving and if I never eat yoghurt & custard again it will be to soon blehhhhhhhh..

My incistions are healing nicely although I do have a really big cut under my left rib bout 5-6 inches long which is still a little tender still..

Will leave it as this and thank you in advance..

Cheers

Why such a large incision? is that from the port site? I am being banded in a few weeks so getting quite nervous.

Hi Guys...

Well I cant be 100% sure to why I have such a longish cut as I didnt realise it was that big untill I got home so I couldnt ask about it..I see my surgeon on the 4th so I will find out then.. Although I went to my local gp and he seems to think that maybe they had a slight problem getting to where they needed to go so they made it a little bigger but again I cant really tell you that much untill I see my surgeon...

JMO I don't think they are meant to be quite this big ?? I looked at others incistion photo's on this site and mine for some reason does look a little bigger but dont let that freak you out :)

JMO Banded 2moro how exciting for you.. Hope all goes well for you ;)

It has been a long time since my mushy stage, and I have forgotten most of the things I was eating.

But I do recall I had mashed potato (with garlic, light parmasan, and light evap. milk ((drool))) Thick thick Soups (The little tins of cambells pumpkin Soup, cream of chicken and pea and ham are great) Toward the end of my mushy stage I remember having warmed up mushy wheet bix (real mushy to start with)

Sorry I am not of more help.

Enjoy your first mushy meal Lil! lol

And a big congrats on the 7kg lost thus far! :clap2:

You may gain a little back on mushies, but if you drank plenty of Water during your liquid phase, you will not be dehydrated, so provided you make good choices, anything you regain would just be, *ahem* bowel content... And that can weigh anywhere up to 3kg.

LOL I will blame any weight gain on my bowel content.. Will make me feel better anyway hehehe...

I had some mashed potato and pumpkin for my first meal I was so excited.. I recon I could have had alot more but I restricted myself which was hard to do but I done it :)

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
