Looking for suggestions



Recommended Posts

Hi Again guys hope this finds you all well :)

In a few days I will be on the vitamised stage and am looking for some suggestions,I know there are receipes on here for that stage but I really want to know what you guys had during this period? Some suggestions would be greatley appreciated..

I am feeling really good and am going about as normal (well almost) Been a littleeeeeeee hungry but not starving and if I never eat yoghurt & custard again it will be to soon blehhhhhhhh..

My incistions are healing nicely although I do have a really big cut under my left rib bout 5-6 inches long which is still a little tender still..

Will leave it as this and thank you in advance..

Cheers

Why such a large incision? is that from the port site? I am being banded in a few weeks so getting quite nervous.

Hi Guys...

Well I cant be 100% sure to why I have such a longish cut as I didnt realise it was that big untill I got home so I couldnt ask about it..I see my surgeon on the 4th so I will find out then.. Although I went to my local gp and he seems to think that maybe they had a slight problem getting to where they needed to go so they made it a little bigger but again I cant really tell you that much untill I see my surgeon...

JMO I don't think they are meant to be quite this big ?? I looked at others incistion photo's on this site and mine for some reason does look a little bigger but dont let that freak you out :)

JMO Banded 2moro how exciting for you.. Hope all goes well for you ;)

It has been a long time since my mushy stage, and I have forgotten most of the things I was eating.

But I do recall I had mashed potato (with garlic, light parmasan, and light evap. milk ((drool))) Thick thick Soups (The little tins of cambells pumpkin Soup, cream of chicken and pea and ham are great) Toward the end of my mushy stage I remember having warmed up mushy wheet bix (real mushy to start with)

Sorry I am not of more help.

Enjoy your first mushy meal Lil! lol

And a big congrats on the 7kg lost thus far! :clap2:

You may gain a little back on mushies, but if you drank plenty of Water during your liquid phase, you will not be dehydrated, so provided you make good choices, anything you regain would just be, *ahem* bowel content... And that can weigh anywhere up to 3kg.

LOL I will blame any weight gain on my bowel content.. Will make me feel better anyway hehehe...

I had some mashed potato and pumpkin for my first meal I was so excited.. I recon I could have had alot more but I restricted myself which was hard to do but I done it :)

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
