Lbt, don’t be too down about it .It happens to the best of us , and sometimes it doesn’t show on the scale but it does in inches .How do you make your homemade egg salad ? I’m not sure how big our portion sizes should be on the real food , can anyone tell me ? or is it until we feel full? Hope everyone is doing well ?

Thank you . I will remember that . I didnt realise weetabix would cause so much trouble as it was on my list of my foods I could have , but I’m learning a lot from here . Thank you ?

Thank you Mikey. This is such a learning curve !

Thank you 28 smaller 18 , that’s so helpful . Love the name ! well done ?

Thank you S@ssen@ch. Thats very helpful ?

Aah! That’s interesting Healthy life, I assumed because weetabix is on my plan of things we can eat , that it was ok and that it didn’t have sugar, should have read the label ! I’ll steer away from it in future! Thank you so much ?

Hi . Im on week 9 post surgery . Today I had 1 weetabix and 1/2 a banana for lunch . 1/2 an hour later, I had griping pains coming in waves , thought I was going to be sick and had diarrhoea. I felt ill for about an hour . Has anybody had this ? Wondered if my stomach doesn’t the weetabix or the amount too much ?

Hi Celtic beauty evolving. Love the name ? Wow! well done on your weight loss ! I’m 8 weeks post op, and have had a few bad days too with nausea I’m still learning what my stomach can and can’t tolerate , and Im almost scared to eat anything after a bad experience . I’m only managing to eat about 2ounces of anything - if that. Hope you’re doing better on the new Vitamins now . Good luck ?

Hi Mr Sean. I’m 8 weeks post op, and mine are still a bit red , but not prominent. I would think as long as they are dry, and not hot , stinging or painful, they are ok . It probably takes some people longer to heal than others . Hope everything else is good with you ?

Thank you for sharing this . It could be very helpful by alerting people to the damage that B12 deficiency could cause . I read that it can cause extreme tiredness lethargy and nausea , and It’s easily missed , as people are eating such a small amount of calories , and often just put it down to that , and the surgery they’ve not long had . and if others are aware of the symptoms , it could explain a lot to some people who are really struggling, and could point them in the right direction, to get it checked out .

I’m right with you !! I hadn’t thought of that but it’s so true ?!!

yep! I’ve done it . We really have to concentrate on what we’re eating . I don’t always realise that I’m actually full, so have to watch for it . Hope you’re getting on ok now ?

I agree with you , baby steps I think is good . If you don’t feel ready, it won’t do you any harm to stay with what you’re doing for a bit longer I’ve mashed a boiled egg with a spoon instead of a fork today - in preperation?but I am very nervous of the next bit . I’m sure we’ll be ok , but have to remember to eat slowly . do you have a list of “caution foods “ to go careful with ? YES! we should compare notes , let’s do it ? Good luck . ?

I’ve done this and like you , felt absolutely AWFUL. It’s the very worst feeling isn’t it ? I hope you’re ok now. I start the last stage on saturday , and am really nervous of trying stuff not mashed down, and introducing new foods . How did other people find it ?

well done Deedee! So happy for you ! It’s s great feeling isn’t it !

Being able to turn over in bed with out having 3 goes at it . Being able to put shoes and socks on without having. to stretch my leg out on a sofa. Not to feel self conscious of getting up to dance . To be able to get on a plane without asking for an extension belt .

Linda , so pleased for you ?

So happy for you nikalee. Well done ! I Don’t hear you complaining about a thing ?I wish you all the very best on your journey ?

first chewable meal today, boiled egg and grated cheese . I have been dying for a boiled egg! Going to look for other stuff I can have on this phase . Haven’t wanted to eat much ,but this may spur me on! What are other people eating on the soft /textured phase ? The Bariactric Bible from £25 from Amazon is excellent , and has some lovely recipes . Can’t wait to start on them ! first

Good luck to you too . After having a rough recovery , it sounds like you deserve something good to happen . Please let me know how it goes for you ?

That’s good . You must have been relieved . I have just been given anti biotics and was a bit nervous of taking them, but checked there was no sugar etc. so far after the first one , no side effects . I didn’t think to ask my doctor if it would be ok - like normal people would ! Hope you can keep taking your vitamins with no problems now .Keep us. posted ?

Sounds good ! I’ll try and look for it . Thanks ? Question, should soft cheese garlic & herb flavour be ok ?

Good luck ?I’m still looking for one that isn’t strong peppermint . Lysterine do a mild mint , so Im trying that but don’t hold out much hope ! I’ll end up with dozens of bottles of different mouthwash !

Hi Natalie. Yes I’ve been experiencing the bad taste . I was told it’s Ketosis caused by fat leaving the body quickly .I started using mouthwash which does help , except I can’t stand Peppermint, and most of then seem to be Peppermint ! They have different coloured bottles , but don’t say what they are They did have one that was Cloves , but couldn’t stand that either )No pleasing some people is there!!)?
