Hi Melesg

to be truthful I have days where the hunger is huge and others when I forget to eat. Hormones play a big role in what's going on. As I found out 2 weeks ago.

Hope that helps

I had the procedure on the 15/08/17.

The bad news

They said there would be some mild nausea and it would settle about 8 hours after the surgery. Well it didn't. It lasted 10 days. I lived on the vomit wafers. The pain from the gas also killed for 2 weeks Constipation is also difficult I'm used to being daily now it's at worst weekly at best every few days

Good news is ;

no pre op diet , BMI started at 33 I'm 167cm / 5ft 6. I started at 93.7kg. In first 2 weeks lost 7kg. Been at a stall for the last 2 weeks. With a fluctuating gain of around 500g up and down. Restriction is real. I've just moved onto soft foods so feeling a bit better.

Exercise (weights) restriction until end of week 6. So 2 more weeks to go.

Struggling to drink my 1.5-2l a day. Can't do Protein Shakes of any type. Trying to reach 50-70g of Protein per day. Some days is a struggle.

My diet looked like this.

No pre opt.

Day 1-14 fluids only that can pass through a thin straw.

Day 15-28 purée fluids that can pass through a thick straw.

Day 29 -42 soft foods / mash.

Day 43-56 start moving to a normal diet.

Just now I'm day 29 and my diet looks like this.

Breakfast - 1 egg scrambled,

morning tea - cheese stick.

lunch slow cooked roast pork 100g and tablespoon apple sauce,

afternoon tea yopro yogurt,

dinner fish, with garlic butter.

Dessert custard or chocolate milk or a banana paddlepop(125ml)

favorite thing in purée stage - mince blended, guacamole and cheese was nachos without the chips
