Hello Everyone

[michellewhinham]

Well this is my first go at anything like this. I had my gastric bypass surgery on Wednesday and so far so good. Pain is minimal althouth energy levels are well low.
I am not massively enjoying the pureed diet but hey only 5 more weeks to go. If anyone has any good tips about what to puree for a tasty treat then please let me know.

hello and welcome. Hope your managing ok, i am just behind you my surgery was 24th.
I found low cal veg soup pureed is really nice with some added chicken for protein, or really sloppy mash and cheese with low fat gravy.
Banana, strawberry Ice and a splash of orange makes a nice smoothie.

take care xxx

Hi. My name is Sarah. I'm having a band on the 16th in Sheffield. I'm not sure how to work this forum thing but I've found all the information and tips so valuable.Thanks to everyone who contributes. I hope in a few weeks I'll be able to offer some words of wisdom and support for others too.
This pre op diet is harder than I thought :-(

Good Luck on your recovery.

My savour for the liquid stage was fresh soups from Sainsburys. They have great flavours, low in fat and sugars. Some i blended etc...

Favourites are veg dansak, pea and ham, Hot & Sour. These gave me the taste my mouth needed.

Hi Sarah, I have just been put on Mr Patel's list. Do not know what to expect as he did not go into any of the many things that are discussed on here & I can't find anything out about him on the net. I have my pre assessment on 16/9 so will have to ask all my questions then. Good luck for the 16th ... look forward to hearing about your experience. take care x

I've heard he's good. Are you having it done at the northern general or private?
Good luck for your pre assessment. Write all your questions down before you go.
