    mushie food struggles

    I'm sure you could add anything else you wanted after the mushie stage. Look forward to hearing if you guys figure out any additions ????
  2. so i am on the mushie/soft food week and have been strugglilng to find food that isnt bland and i want to eat and i stumbled across this beauty 1 avocado 1 tin tuna in springwater drained a squirt of mayo garlic salt mash all together and yum thankyou to whoever posted this it is something i will make later aswell for a dip at parties
  3. i have just changed the bandaged on my incisions and was very surprised with the sizes. I was told I was going to have 5 small ones and 1 a little bit bigger for the port, when I have looked I have 3 about 1cm 1 about 2cm (which has pulled open a little bit) 1 about 5cm on my left which I thought would be for my port and then when I checked the last one was about 7cm just above and left of the belly button. so my question is that what kind of incisions has everyone else ended up with and it this normal??? Thanks

    incision sizes

    Hi the size of the incision doesn't worry me in the slightest and I normally scar pretty bad but that is all small in the scheme of things I was just wondering what size on average everyone else had as I was expecting it to be about an inch long not about 3.
  5. Hi I'm on day 5 post op and every night I get so hungry my stomach hurts, I have tried having my broth later or a Protein shake when this happens but it feels like the liquids are just not doing it anymore. I have 2 days till I can go in my mush food any ideas on what can help me get through the next two days as it makes me constantly think about food. Will just add I have not eaten anything though I have resisted but it's dam hard Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

    incision sizes

    Yeah my big one is about 3 inches long and I think that's strange. Glad you aren't having to bad a reaction to the glue and you will have a neater scar because of it to
  7. Well hopefully it isn't to long a wait for you ????
  8. Hi I'm new to this site but thought I would share. I have my surgery tomorrow in about 12 hours and I'm starting to freak out if i have made the right decision or not. I weigh about 315pounds I(I think I'm in Australia and use kilos)! And have physical problems so I can't exercise like I would like to do I know I need to do something and have tried pretty much everything else. So my question is did you freak out before hand and have 101 thought go through your heads worrying about after what will it be like? How bad is my saggy skin going to be? Will I need an operation to fix it??? I think in over thinking things but thanks for listening and letting me vent Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
  9. I'm going fine drinking ready?set.go not on mushy foods till Tuesday but could kill for something to eat right now. It seems to only be from about 7pm I get real hungry so not to bad. I am going to ask the surgeon when I see him next why cause he said everything went straight forward and no problems so strange. How are you going with everything?
  10. I'm heaps better today but still doing the till off the bed and chair kinda thing lol and I noticed I have been holding onto the incision site to. My stereo-strips came off today and I was a bit shocked cause the incisions were bigger than I thought and 2 had started pulling apart so I put some more back on for now and will keep an eye on them.

    Thanks I hadn't thought of the thicker soups I don't know why and just had the hubby get some yogurt so crossing fingers something helps thank you

      Little by little, your strength will return. Rest today. Take a short walk. Be kind to yourself.

    June Surgery

    Hi surgery date buddy, did you get the lapband or the sleeve? Know what you mean about the pain isn't to bad but wasn't expecting it to be like this. Helps when you are in your own place and not the hospital. Hope the pain goes quickly for you

      Thank you all for your very helpful comments I'm on full liquid diet and had made up chicken broth but am so over it. The hubby has sucked down to the shops to get some things you guys recommend so fingers crossed it helps thank you

      You don't have to stick to just chicken broth either; try some beef consomme, veggie broth, or strained cream of chicken or strained cream of mushroom. Trust me, the difference in flavor makes a huge difference.
