Hi all

Sim here from Australia, had my band done 4 days ago and all is going well. I havent had any gas pain yet, does that mean I wont get any? fingers crossed! I am doing a fair bit of farting (sorry to be a bit grosse) and seem to go to the toilet a bit more than normal but hoping this will pass. Hope everybody else is good. Sim :ohmy:

Hi

Only still walking at this stage, am going back to the gym in 2 weeks from Monday, I go to Curves and will be aiming to go 4 times per week. I am just starting mushies, approx Day 16 and a sample day for today was

Brekky: 1/2 sachet of Uncle Toby's oats - pretty milky at this stage

Lunch: Small can of John West light tuna (sandwich flakes) with 3 clix crackers

Dinner: 1/2 cup of cooked Pasta with a Tomato based sauce and a little bit of grated cheese

Snacks: 1/2 mashed banana, 1 weight watchers icecream

Fluids: Tea, Latte, Water, Diet Lemonade

I have also planned some meals for this week and they are things like mashed vegies, steamed fish, Pasta, scrambled eggs, poached eggs, tuna, baked Beans and then progressing onto risotto, taco's, stirfrys. I so cant wait to eat some crisp vegetables but will wait another couple of weeks for those. I found the full liquids phase fairly challenging although after now being banded for 2 weeks have lost 7.5 kilos so am pleased with that. How are you going? please share ideas for meals and Snacks too as besides Soup for lunch and some diet jelly's etc I do find lunches a bit tricky. Sim
