im a saddo i know... but 15 mins in im feeling ok...my nose started running indicating im full... and im still alive!!

I still have trouble with crusts. My hair will never be curly LOL

 

[Raynebubble]

haha i have totally straight hair... i used to eat lots of bread... that was probably what kicked of IBS lol.
Im happy not to have it... but will have some toast now to keep my beans company lol x

 

[MissyMustDoIt]

well done!!
but why does your nose run ad how does that indicate your full? is this a bypass thing or is it something that happened before?

 

[cassiecat]

Well Done - I can totally comprehend hun , had 1/4 piece of toast this morning too with a poached egg!! and after the total disaster that was Beef Casserole last night (cooked for 24 hrs in slow cooker!) I know that great feeling of achievement

haha i think its a bypass thing... i only learnt about it on here the other day... but didnt really take much notice that is was happening to me.

we have a gland called the vegus gland... when we have bypass surgery this gland is very close to your new pouch.
the gland is what makes your nose run... so when we are full the pouch can push on the gland and your nose will run.
this can happen for a few weeks... or its a permanent thing for some..im not sure... but i find... if ive eaten enough and i stop eating..after a couple of minutes my nose runs lol x

[cassiecat]

oh thats not good.... but dont give up on it..it is probably your just not ready for it yet... beef, pork can be quite tough. i would try it again in a few weeks time xx

 

[Raynebubble]

Congrats on that i guess its just trying things slowly and see how u get on... Do u think tinned tomatoes on toast would be better ?? As 1 tin of beans is nearly 400 cals and tomatoes only 62 ???? Keep safe xxxxx

Thanks Scott, the dietician said i could have tinned tomatoes.. but being a vegetable there is no potien in them... i only have 3 teaspoons of beans not the whole tin lol.
She said the Baked beans are better xx
I am gonna try a poached egg next week, ive had scrambled and omlettes and are ok with them x

I recently re discovered old fashioned melba toast...mmmm! 1 small slice of toasted on either side then cut carefully through the middle and return to grill to toast "bread" side. Ideal with continental meats or smaked salmon and a bit of philli....perfect heaven!
