I just had an appt with my surgeon he's really pleased with my progress. Said the next 6-8 weeks will be the hardest as I learn to eat solids again. I see him again in 6 weeks. Wounds have healed really well, glue is all off now so I can start rubbing Vitamin e oil in to help the scarring. We will still be able to enjoy eating, and if anything we will appreciate our food more and I know I will be concentrating on making sure it's good food what I eat, not shit. Eating half a tin of tuna right now, it's delicious! (I've always been a massive tuna fan) Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Kiwijet that's very naughty! Lol how do you feel now about it? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Some days I can't even tolerate that. And I'm like what the hell lol. I want to be able to eat about 1 measuring cup, maybe 1&1/2 measuring cup Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I can only tolerate half a measuring cup of puréed food. If it's a cup of Soup I can tolerate almost 1 measuring cup. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I lost 4.5kg first week too, but last 2 weeks only 2 kg a week. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App I've been reading it's quite common to get haemeroids after? I'm sure it must be very uncomfortable you poor thing. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Def sounds like you need some mild laxatives to get things moving along. Are you drinking enough fluids too? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Maybe take some senna to help things get moving. It's probably a lot from your meds. I had surgery the thurs and didn't go to loo until the Sunday, and the first time was hard but after that it was all just liquids as that's all I was having Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Also, I bought a plate online, it's for bariatric sleeve patients, for portion control, to make sure I get the right size & balance of what I should be eating on a plate eg mainly Protein, comes with recipes and also a bowl., as I don't always want to measure but the plate has visual aids Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Greatideasinnutrition.net.au I think was the website and make sure you click on the bariatric section, if your interested. Mine arrived this week! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Difference between the 2 stages kiwi jet is that mushy isn't quite as puréed, but still soft. Does that make sense? I saw my dietician last week, for my week 3 foods (puréed) and week 4 and solids, and they have given me a sheet for each with suggested foods, things to avoid etc. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I just had the one egg and I was a bit uncomfortable so yeah good luck trying to have more then 1! Lol Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Shell I was having serious noises, out of control, I have had to cut all dairy out as it's quite common to become lactose intolerant following sleeve surgery the nurse told me. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App So yeah I cut the dairy out and it's improved a hell of a lot. Only troubles me now if I eat too much Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I just had a poached egg! Omg delicious! I had to mash it up as I'm still on puréed till wed then I move to mushy food but it was delicious! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hi guys! I got sleeved 17th March. Hope your all going well Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I've been hanging for hotdogs, KFC, McDonald's & Hungry Jacks! Lol! I didn't eat them before surgery but I think it's the fact that I actually can't eat them now? It's a mental thing for sure. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I don't have staples to come out. Adam my surgeon glued my cuts together. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

2 weeks yesterday since op. Sounds like your doing fantastic! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

What are you having for Breakfast and dinner? Are you coping ok to have it? They gave me soup, just a little bowl, and I had probably half? They also gave me a glass of sustagen and I had about 3 sips lol. Other then that just lots of Water. I find even now, when I eat or drink, I feel the need to burp. Mainly when eating. I struggle to let one out, I've never been a big gassy girl & whenever I would be like this in the past I would go get a glass of Coke, skull it down & let the gas in the Coke do its job lol. But can't do that now so sit there for ages doing these tiny little burps lol. Are you up and walking yet? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm on puréed food this week and last 2 morning have had 1 wheetbix with milk & both times haven't been able to finish. I've only lost 2kg this week compared to 4.5 the first week but I'm struggling to drink enough this week. I don't feel thirsty and need to remind myself to drink Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Nooooo lol! Probably for the best, it does block you up. Just make sure you take panadol regularly I guess? Have you managed Soup yet? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

How you feeling today? Home day today?? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Yeah nexium I have to take daily. They gave me them a month of them to take home, a month of a Multivitamin & a month of Vitamin b1. Only need to take b1 until that pack runs out, but the others are ongoing. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Nexium is for reflux Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

My bad I don't have 5, I only have 4. I was meant to have 5, I'll ask next week why only 4 Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

How many cuts do you have? Have they glued them together? I had 5 all up Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

When I puréed the baked Beans, I got a measuring cup out, got what I wanted and left the rest in the can for later. When I did the soup though, I blended the whole amount & then measured out my serve & put the rest in fridge for today. I think in hindsight that's easier. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Lol yeah when he told me I said oh wow thanks! (I didn't even know I had one lol) & he said ethically he couldn't leave it. Puréed baked Beans yesterday tasted so delicious! Lol! Had puréed canned Soup for dinner, tonight I'll buy some chicken to add to it for extra Protein. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I ended up with a hernia being operated on too, so might have been why I was tender across my diaphragm area Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
