Oh that sounds great! I didn't try blending berries on purée stage as I was dumping on anything with sugar in it, but I will def try now.

I'm on soft stage and coped with a banana (swallowing) but then went all dizzy and sweating off the sugar (I think).

I give the children peeled apple and red grapes most days and I'm so tempted to try!!

We are the same time post op (6 weeks tomorrow for me) I really fancied melon today so tried a small slice, it was heaven

I know!!! I'm soooo jealous!!!!!

I used to have tinned fruits as they are softer. Berries like Fiona said are a good choice. Stewed fruit such as apple or pear is good and recommended by my provider. I can now eat any fruit without issues.

Assuming your providers info said its ok, and you feel comfortable doing so. I don't see why not. You might want to break it into small pieces though. Even now I feel better taking the disperable kind.

On the whole paracetamol is fine, but stay away from ibuprofen and aspirin.

Thanks, I thought so, but took NSAIDS a few weeks ago as advised by a pharmacist, so I thought I'd check with the experts!!

NSAIDs are generally not recommended for us bypassers. Although I understand some people take them under medical supervision, and normally with PPIs.
In my experience most general health professionals haven't a clue about our needs post op, so I wouldn't necessarily take a pharmacist advice as 100% accurate.
I'm a nurse on a stroke ward and we had a patient a couple of months ago who had had a sleeve. Only 1 of our 4 junior doctors had even heard if it - I kid you not. Boy, did those kids get an education from me.

Yes I was talking about this last week. I hope there is a big push on educating health professionals regarding WLS soon! X

Funny enough, I did a research paper in the summer on WLS. One of the conclusions I came to was that surgery will become more common, and there will have to be a big push on educating professionals in general practice.

Back to basics (well, a bit). Aiming for 1250 kcals. Im considering doing 1 fast (600 kcals) day a week, see if I get a boost like that.

 

[Yvessa]

I know or person who does it. Personally given m issues with food I don't feel it sight for me as I would fast and binge. I would worry about nutrition but if you're doing it just one day a week it can't hurt I think. I also go dizzy without regular food.

If you have this again tomorrow you must see your gp hun. Bypassers are at severe risk of dehydration, especially this soon out of op. I know you probably don't feel like it, but you must try and keep fluids up at least.

 

[ceecie74]

Thanks Yve, I'm sat up sipping as I type!! Def getting dehydrated, keep feeling dizzy. Think I may pop into the local A&E to be honest whilst its quiet x

 

[Yvessa]

Might be worth doing hun. Better to be safe than sorry at this stage lovely.

 

[skinimum]

Definitely worth a trip to a/e.
