How much water are you adding? I tried half a mug and also just enough to dissolve and got different reactions..
It's when your external wound has healed or has fused back together but you need to be careful to not overstretch. I was told around 3 weeks xSo when is everyone allowed to have a bath? I can't for the life of me remember what my nurse said so I'm going to drop her an email. I've only been having showers so far.
maggy I think I have to lose another 2 stone before i'm no longer defined as obese, overweight is going to sound GOOD. Being short doesn't help because you don't have to be massively heavy to be defined as obese. Good luck with your goal, it looks like you've had a good loss already, we can definitely do this together.@Dollydot - sort of a goal for xmas. I'm hoping to be under a BMI of 35 so I can say I m no longer severely or morbidly obese. I know 'morbid' can be 40 but some definitions have it as 35. Under 35 feels like nearer to normal. I'm about 5 and a half kilos away so similar goal to you. We'll get there together!

Hi November Newbies....well not so new now! It is 4 weeks post op today. Had my last injection yay! Starting soft foods too. Weighed in 6lbs off this last week but think it is because I have had problems with side effects of drugs I am on post op. Hopefully sorted now. Can't believe the month has gone and so many joined the losers bench! Had tinned soup today for first time and chewed it well. Struggling with protein intake and fluid.
Things getting their slowly!
@maggy thanks. It is hard I agree when can't have milk based products esp in liquid/purée/soft phase to get protein in takes so much planning. I am relying on fish With mashed veg. My taste buds have totally changed since this sleeve and I am struggling to think and try new foods. Totally sensitive to sugar and salt in foods. Went round supermarket and bought fish chicken and veg again. What's fitness Pal? That sounds great how it works out protein? But gets easier with more choice now on soft but meat/fish big part for protein.Well done on getting through the ups and downs @Want2b3. I think we're all struggling with protein and fluids. Eating and drinking at the right times in the right amounts is a full time job! The only way I'm keeping my protein up at all is by having a hot cocoa with extra marvel once or twice a day. 200ml skimmed lactofree milk, three teaspoons of marvel and a spoon of old style cocoa powder (no sweetners). Because of the sweetness of the lactofree milk and marvel I don't add anything else - 16.7g of protein according to MyFitnessPal.
