Wow!! 4 weeks out! thats early for normal food! My post op diet sheet says week 4 is mashed food, don't get to normal food until 6 weeks. Will be interested to know how you get on.. xx

Mine says 0-2 weeks liquid 2-4 mushy foods then 4+ normal ... Apart from meat which has to be minced for 3 months... Who did you have your band with ?

She hasnt had a band hun, she is a bypasser - different rules altogether!

I would get on the phone to your dietician as only they can advise what you really should be eating

Thanks Mazza just spoke to one of the dieticians called heather she was lovely, she's told me to go into more crunchy foods and meat but make sure I chew properly and slowly I did question it because my book form THG says no meat unless it's minced for 3 months but she's told me to ignore that as there in the process of updatin it and new research shows meats fine Aslong as its chewed properly and she's sent me an email with all the updated info on so im just about to have a read now. I do get confused sometimes on here with the banders/bypass ect lol xx

Oh thats good, be careful with the meat though and take your time!

I know what you mean, we have had the separate sections for each op for a while now but people tend to just read the unread posts when they log on xx

Emma are you feeling better? I have been looking forward to "normal" food... Bit worried tho .... Strange bruise has appeared where I think my port might be......can you bruise from the inside?? :-/ anyway here's to normality till next Thursday !!! Xxx

 

[Mazza]

Try not to worry hun, I was covered in bruises for ages ( I do bruise easy though). You will soon be back to normal, just with a few tiny scars xx

Sorry to confuse you L0ckerz!! Didn't realise you had been banded not bypassed... My fault for not looking at your stats xxx

Amanda - I dont think L0ckerz has recorded which op she had in her stats but the question was posted in the banders section

When the new sections were created for each op there werent that many banders around, now we are everywhere lol xx

 

[L0ckerz]

Glad we've got that sorted ! Lol .. How do I record my stats? Xxx
