My main protein source is danio yoghurt and porridge. I can eat soft food..I can manage beans and jacket potato too but anything dense..big no! I can eat one boiled egg with nothing else and it's like been kicked in the stomach.. I can eat 3 chicken nuggets by themselves..kicked in the stomach..half a sausage... Well you get the idea! It's not in my head it's in my stomach ! My advice is eat what suits you..other people will suggest things that to me would make me want to throw up..cheese, cream, nuts etc etc but to other people they are great! Eat what your body accepts and if that's just a cup of bovril then so be it!! Don't panic..I spend all my day eating and drinking to get my food and drink in, I manage about 40-50g of protein a day and 1200 cals along with 1.5l of fluid maximum. Just do what's right for you...we are all different and my experience is my own. I get frustrated most days as I cannot eat diddle squat! I still post photos on my diary.. Just do your best or you will get worked up over it xx

Just though I'd join in here, of course it's in your head what are you all talking about. These are experts and they know what there on about. WELL NOT IN MY WORLD there not. None of them know the real reality of having this surgery and ax the old saying goes " Until you walk in someone else's shoes, then shut the F*** up" because you know begged all. I'm fed up with asking questions to be told well we don't know why this is happening and treating me like a child. The younger ones are still wet behind the ears and the older ones still haven't caught up with the new ways so none of us can win. I'm like Cupid and a few others. I have not made a conscious decision to stop eating certain things my body has informed my brain and senses not to,eat certain things. I love spicy foods and could have quite easily lived on home made curries but I can't touch it now. I was never a biscuit ,sweet person. I could now spend all day just eating biscuits but it's a choice I've made not to because I know it won't help,with weight loss. So it must be in my mind that curries or in fact anything that's has any kind of spice in it causes me to rush to bottles of milk to calm my mouth and there is only a few safe as I call them foods I can eat. Don't let the ******* get into your head because we have enough going on in there to deal,with as it is. Right thats my sort of supported rant over lol.

much appreciated Hun thanks. X
 
I have a new one for you all, I have osteoarthritis, knees, hips, back, feet and along with the neck my hands. I have a visit to carry out in Yorkshire in a few weeks time, I spoke to my manager today to say my husband is willing to drive me there as I wouldn't be able to do the journey due to the time sitting in the car. So she informed me that there is public transport I could use now I've had my surgery I shouldn't have any problem getting on and of buses and trains. Let me think about this for a while, I use two sticks, not funny on buses and have you seen the gap at train platforms. I will have to carry at least one file, oh that will be on my back then or maybe just tucked under my arm. The G force (slight exaggeration here) of sitting on a train and being wobbled back and forward for at least an hour and a half if not longer with changing trains stations and negotiating British rail full stop should be a meat doddle. It's all going to be achievable, why because I had a gastric bypass. I wouldn't mind but this person is supposedly a smart and clever woman. Non of us can win. Wonder what else I can get up to because I've had a bypass maybe Bungee Jumping.
 
Ask her to send you to occupational health to assess your transport capabilities. Remind her as a person with a disability she had a duty to consider reasonable adjustments for you. And until this process is complete you won't be taking public transport!!!!
 
Hi Hun, I'm just waiting for another appointment with Occy health so my records can be updated. It just makes me laugh as my manager she was only told I was having surgery and she had assumed I had a band. She even said to me she was suppressed I was so ill because she knew others who had a BAND fitted and they returned to work within a few weeks. ME well that's was nice for them, maybe I should had a band fitted instead of a bypass which involved major surgery. That shut her up,for a while. Now I find out that there is another member of staff who had a bypass and she sailed through, 6 weeks of plus annual leave so again we must all be the same. Watch this space lol and I won't be driving long distance or using public transport any time soon.

if only the world was rid of these text book heroes that have probably had major surgery to remove the " I know better than you tattoo". X
 
This year is total pants and I can't wait for it to be over. Well had my visit to the doctor on Monday that then was repeated Tuesday followed by twice on Wednesday and three telephone calls today.blood tests X-rays and specialist (what more could a girl ask for) ice bath for hands and feet followed by gel put on my fingernails under a microscope.

As many of you know I have Hashimoto disease this affects many things and most notably under active thyroid but it basically means that my body's immune system attacks my body thinking that it's a foreign object and try's to get rid and it causes damage to otherwise good healthy organs and telling me that I have many different problems to deal with. Latest diagnosis is Raynaud's disease causing my hands and feet to turn blue and white with cold on top of rheumatoid and osteoarthritis. This can be changed like anything else from day to day so unless it becomes primary rather than the secondary result that is soon at the moment.

How do I feel about this because they don't want me to start any medication because if it drops down then the Meds would be inappropriate at that particular time.? I feel like a spinning top that when it comes to rest after the spin at a totally different position every time it stops. Give me gloves and thermal sock rather than pills any day at least I can take them off. So they have put me back on morphine long term.

I honestly can say seeing this beautiful bundle makes up for a rubbish week. My great niece Alanna-Rose who decided to arrive on my granddaughters eighth birthday at the same time my granddaughter was born give or take a minute. Her mums first baby and she was in labour for less than an hour and didn't even have time for painkillers or gas and air. On cloud nine knitting like mad whenever I get chance :) xxxxx

She is blooming adorable and more than enough to make up for a rubbish week by far :) wee little bundles melt your heart and put everything into perspective eh....

I'm so sorry to hear of your further health problems hunni... sometimes it feels like this path we walk is a real struggle and wonder sometimes is it all worth it but when you see the beauty of new life arriving it gives a brief rest bite as we take in the wonders of childbirth and just how perfect each child of this earth is :)

All we can do is take each day as it comes, be grateful for what we do have and let everything else take care of itself.... breath deep hunni, take in the wonders of the day... smile, embrace the ones you love and above all ...look after yourself x x x x x sending a special rainbow to light you day x x x x x know i'm here anytime you need to chat x x xx

went to get some today but came home without them. Horrible time in town we had EDL (English defence league) arrive from many places and at the same time anti racist groups that had decided Scarborough needed some action. I have lived here on and off for 33 years and never seen the licks of it. Shouting fighting racist remarks you name it they used it both sides. Over 40 police officers stood between try hard to keep control. Women with small children wanting to stand and watch not caring what the little ones could see and hear. What got to me most of all was when EDL started chanting this is England leave us alone the anti racists were chanting back not your country **** off home. The police officers said nothing to the latter half and promising arrests for the EDL. Absolutley crazy and it carried on for about 3 hours. Trying to promote hatred should be carry a jail term.
