B4by Ph4t · July 22, 2006

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.

yes the incision would be from the port area

Cograts on being banded... I don't have any input on your question because I to am to be banded in two days. But I wanted to ask about your port area. R they all this big? I thought they were like 1-2 tops? Why is yours so big? don't mean to take over you thread but I am also getting 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.

WooHooo Mashed potato I have been dying to eat that.. I can't wait untill (2moro) I get something a little more solid into my belly it's so exciting LOL

I've lost 7 kilo during the liquid stage and I bet im gonna gain it right back once I start eating more of a solid range..

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.

B4by Ph4t · July 27, 2006

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
