hi all
im 3 1/2 weeks post banding and everythings going fine i feel great iv never had any nausea or anything and im on a good mushy diet now starting to eat the odd thing normally just well chewed problem is im not making good choices at all and this week iv maintained. iv read most people maintain or even put on at some point in the first 6 weeks when you move to normal foods but its so disheartning and i need to get a grip of my diet cos i know its too high cal and fat
atm im eating cottage cheese and yogurt for breaky
soup or tinned macaroni for lunch (the tinned macaroni is far too fatty i know but i can tolerate it cold if im out at lunch time and need something and cant get to microwave
tea im having ready meals such as shepards pie or fish pie at 15g of fat plus, boil in bag fish in sauce and mash i know i need to make my own but im a student nurse with a 10 month old and an 8 yr old who can only just manage time to stick that in microwave now im on placement and travelling etc
please can i have some quick easy low fat ideas for lunch and tea that will be ok to eat as mushy going onto solid phase. also when can i move onto chicken and normal food whole safely cos it wont be as bad then atm im eating what i can when i can eat some chicken and veg ill be ok (i hope)
iv got no restriction now at all as well is that normal makes me worry cos last week i was full with soup now i can eat a whole ready meal no worries, fill in a fortnight though
anyway that was an essay lol. thanks in advance
