*jo*

Hi i am 1 wk post op and am sick of drinking water and fruit juices. I was given a very basic diet sheet and would just like some suggestions as to what i can and cant eat at this stage. I tried a slim fast shake today but it didnt agree with me and i ended up with diarrhea :0( .

the first wk was bad but im ok now just a bit dizzy and no energy , i weighed myself on mon and have lost 11lb so far so im happy enough, are you?

sat 20th april when was yours

i can eat a cup full but i eat it slowly usually between 20-30 mins i might try the slim fast tomoro again

yeah sounds like soft food! i looked at mine and it said only after 2 wk, im dying for something else but just afraid to try lol

im afraid of trying anything like that yet incase i burst my stitches or stretch my stomach. at the min im having a glass of milk for my breakfast, bovril or juice for lunch and a clear watery soup for dinner and trying to drink more water. i tried a yogurt yesterday went down fine but ened up in the toilet this morning not sure wether it was that or not so im gona try again, i also bought sachets of vitamins yesterday to take to try and build up some energy. what about you whats your typical diet?

hi Tc44055 im glad your feeling a bit better id look into getting that cut fixed too if i were you incase it causes more problems in the future. you say you had a soft boiled egg today? i was told to stay o a liquid diet for 2 wks then go on to pureed food, did you keep it down ok? and were you not told to do the liquid diet for the 2 wks?

hi its like the sleeve only instead of taking away part of the stomach, its folded in on itself and stitched

i am able to keep them down yes but it hurts in my chest which i think is still the gases. i only managed not even half the slim fast before i thought i was going to throw up. i had some bovril and some waterey soup but thats it, my cuts are fine i get my stitches out tomoro. i think maybe you need to go see a doctor if you cant stand up straight and your in so much pain that doesnt sound good to me. i hope you feel better soon
