My journey starts here..

[Banderbird]

Last day of mushies today, where has the time gone?

I must say, it's not been too bad. If someone told me I had to live on mushies forever, I think I'd survive.

Saying that, I can't wait to bite something crunchy and I'm dying for a bit of toast.

I also went back to the gym tonight, yay! Although, I'm gutted at how unfit I've become after nearly five weeks of doing nothing remotely strenuous.

All I did was a 15 min power walk on the treadmill, 10 mins on the bike and 5 mins on the cross-trainer. However, it's a start, and I don't want to risk damaging anything.

I've signed back up for spinning next Weds, its going to kill me, but I really miss it.

Wow, 5 weeks....time has flown. Be careful at gym, if it starts to.hurt stop for a while. T hid isn't a race ....its a marathon'xxxxx

 

[Banderbird]

I'm 4 weeks post-op today - I've just been lazy for nearly 5 weeks

Well. Today I'm getting a cold, so no gym and lots of vitamin C instead. Grrrr.

I'm also back on normal food, yay.

Well, just for 6 days anyway, first fill is on Monday.

I actually ate a tuna sandwich today, ohhhh bread *dribble*.

First bread in a month.

I don't know whether I'll be able to tolerate it in future but I ate it really slowly, took small bites and chewed loads and it was YUM. At least I know I can live without it if I have to.

Even with an empty band, I can still feel things getting stuck and have to be careful.

Mmmmmm Bread I still havent tried any, too scared it'll get stuck.

Hope the cold goes quickly and Good luck for your first fill xx

 

[Banderbird]

I do have a feeling bread might be an issue once I start on the fills, but just for today it was lovely.

How are banders with salads? Are things like tomatoes and cucumbers a problem?

 

[oztega]

I can only speak for myself but ive been eating cherry toms and cucumber no probs.

 

[Banderbird]

Oooh good. I miss salad!

 

[sarahrob]

Salad is never a problem for me. I wondered about the skin on peppers or the stringy bits in celery, but I eat a lot of both and haven't had an issue. Mind you, I've yet to have an issue with ANYTHING, so who knows lol!

Enjoy that salad

 

[Banderbird]

Hunger is back to normal levels, can't wait for my first fill.

I want to eat everything!!

Cold is stinking, MEHHHHHHH.
