I am loving the purée stage! I can't believe how good mush is tasting at the moment. Today is ready brek for breakfast, fish pie for lunch, and refried beans with melted cheese for dinner. Snacks are Greek yogurt. Delish! 23lbs down including pre-op diet. Sx was 6/6.

Everything tastes delicious now even though it's puréed lol. I've just made up a batch of puréed veg in ice cubes, vegetable soup and cottage pies. Lost 28lb including pre op diet stayed the same for the last couple of days should really stop weighing myself every day but can't help it lol ? xx

I thought I had no restriction so decided to have a bigger bowl of beans tonight for dinner. Yup, I have restriction and won't be eating over the recommended amount again anytime soon! And, because I was hungry I ate quickly so it took time to register. Uurghgggghhhh

All ok, feel remarkably well except for a certain amount of tiredness. Living on Slimfast shakes and WW soups at the moment.
Good luck to you all.

4 days post-op now- on slim fast, sugar free jelly and WW soup. Steve the Sleeve still feels a bit swollen so cutting back for a day or so- still not hungry so not a big hardship.

The 5 holes are all healing well.

Hope everything is going well for the other June oppers- there may still be few people left having the op today- best of luck.

I am very jealous of you! I'm 2 days post op after having a gastric band and because I had a lot of stomach muscle (apparently) I'm pretty sore and swollen. Haven't been able to sleep much because I have to lie on my back. Haven't felt like having anything but water and even then I'm worried about having too much as throwing up is the worst thing for me :-(

Thats a shame Vicky- have thrown up a couple of times in the first 2 days- once when the soluble paracetemol was slightly fizzy and second when I gulped water when I was not quite upright. Can lie on my side to sleep with a pillow. Like GG have been quite sleepy but am trying to stay up all day so I can sleep all night.

 

[trickyvicky]

I slept for 8ish hours last night as I was finally able to lie on my side which is more like normal. Also been feeling like having something with a taste which is really good. It's amazing what a difference 24 hours can have!

Definitely struggling to know when I'm full though because of all the odd feelings going on in and around my stomach (had a bit too much jelly yesterday but the uncomfortable feeling didn't last too long luckily).

Is it just me or is soluble paracetamol not the greatest tasting thing in the world? lol attempting to mask mine with a bit of sugar free squash but it doesn't help too much.
