@jeff20stone i struggle eating protein on its own at times. Although I'm good with halloumi the rest I find hard work. Easier if it's in a sauce though.

All protein and nice together

Not surprised you have a difficult time facing the hospital visits. I know I would. The bypass makes some kind of sense given the gastroparesis as the stomach won't actively have to let the food out, it just sort of slips out by itself. Sounds like you have good questions to ask. I'd also be asking about how much if any of your gut they will bypass. Sounds like you don't need any malabsorption. Good luck!! Xx

Oh dear! I know the feeling. But last few days I've had a tummy bug. I was sort of pleased to get things moving again! TMI?!? Who knew a tummy bug would be a welcome thing.
You need to invite lots of germy children into your house. Lol. But seriously, I hope it gets easier. It's miserable.

Know what you mean. If I only eat three meals I don't get the calories (or protein) in. Do you have mid-morning or afternoon snacks? Was using ufit protein shakes to top up on calories and protein but I've started slightly dumping with them. Though I think it's the lactose rather than the sugar. Am going to test out different ones. It's all a bit of an experiment.

So has everyone got through the new year period? We were away with friends for a few days in a rented house. I ate more than I have and on two of the days my calories were up to around 850 - this is mainly because it was all party food from m&s and a big roast dinner yesterday. I have to confess though I had some Pringles. I actually weighed out a portion and tracked them in mfp- oh boy were they yummy and I was tempted by more but my portion was enough. I see it as a treat. The other thing I did was drink half a cider - it went straight to my head!!! I think alcohol will be a thing of the past for me. No idea what the scales will do this week but trying not to focus on it. I'm joining the gym tomorrow and start kettle bell class next week. Here's to 2017!

Sounds good @jeff20stone. How's everyone else getting on? I've done Zumba, spinning and kettlebells this week! Feels great. Weight loss has stopped though I think I'm losing inches!

Wow - 60 lengths - that's some achievement
Thanks @SAM55 i did 70 on Tuesday night! My aim is do try and do 100 as that would. E just over a mile.
My weight has been static over the last week but I'm not sure I'm getting enough of everything.
I have either ready brek or shreddies max protein for breakfast, a snack of a graze flapjack mid morning, lunch might be soup or a Portion of bolognese, a snack of either 2 babybel or laughing cow triangles and for tea a couple of Melba toast with egg mayo

@Chill are you logging the cals/protein/carbs? I'm using my fitness pal and find it very helpful. I can tell you straight away my problem is not enough fluids and a few too many carbs. My dietician hasn't said how many carbs to have but I think it should be half the protein so I've worked on that the last few days. I find when in work I'm just so busy I struggle to get the fluid in however today I had a 2 hr drive to Carlisle so drank 1.5litres in the car as I had nothing else to do. I guess write down all your having and take it from there? My weight loss is very slow too - I think part of the problem is I expected it to come off quicker so I've had to battle with those thoughts but the reality is hopefully it will stay off this way and I'll still hit goal come August if I lose 1.5-2lb per week.
I do try and keep track on mfp but if I've made my own bolognese it's difficult to track. I don't think too many carbs is the problem but do think drinking has been an issue. I did try a speak to the dietitian before Christmas but she was already off but I was told as long as I was getting at least 1l it was fine and I think I'm doing that and a bit more.
