peri peri chicken & giant cous cous

I had peri peri chicken with giant cous cous for my tea a few times, it was lush, I made it up in bulk & froze a few.
I also made some chilli salmon with rice noodles.

Oh am hoping I can still have fizzy! Xx

I'm surprised that some area's are different as at my first meeting which was on 7th Nov 14 with Bariatric Nurse and dietician session we were told no more coke or fizzy (carbonated)drinks as they swell in the little stomach and can damage the pouch it also brings air in and makes excess gas. As one Guy said he didn't think he could go through with surgery as he couldn't give up coke. I'm still Newbie awaiting to see Consultant and Dietician in March

I had the bypass on 31/12 and I miss Pepsi Max. I hope one day I will be able to drink it again but not yet as my stomach is still healing.

You might be able to drink it flat by stirring bubbles out of it,but I really would advise anyone to wave goodbye to all fizzy drinks.
You'll be doing yourself a massive favour

I use to love pepsi max but ive not had it for 5 months..to be honest i have lost i interest in it

 

[fjsinc]

If it is just the flavour you miss, then soda stream do sugar free syryps including cola varieties. Just add tap water - perfectly flat coke.

 

[Kar8858]

Oh that's a good idea, thanks!
