Screw it....i hada banana!

[magicbeans]

and it was LUSH!..... i chewed it to death and had half and instantly felt full...so good to feel full...havent felt this in a few days.... i just cannot do liquids for another week and considering everyone else here goes to mashed stuff at 2 weeks im sure its pretty safe for me to go to purees now as well.

looking forward to scrambled eggs, fish and mash! sick sick sick of soups!

Aaw Magic - its nice when you can have something with a bit more volume to it. As Long as its mushed up and/or well chewed. Enjoy your purees, take it easy. Time soon flies when you`ll soon be back onto normal foods.




Take care hun x







Love Kat x

Im struggling with bananas at the moment, sometimes they go down ok and other times really hard.

MB, just be careful with going against your providers rules as should anything go wrong (band slippage, erosion, leaks etc...) and they know you went on mushies earlier than they like, you may find yourself out of contract terms and conditions.
Im not 100% sure but my T&C's stated that if i dont follow their advice and rules, any problems are basically my fault and they wont take any liability.

mashed banana in brown bread

I used to love banana sandwiches on brown bread...(sigh), but still can't handle bread even after a year.

So, now I eat mashed bananas on Fox's wholemeal biscuits instead, with a little cinnamon on top. Sometimes I put a smear of Philadephia light under the banana. It's close enough for rock and roll!

The simple things in life hey!! haha, I am 3 weeks out now and I had a banana mashed with a bit of custard yesterday, it went down lovely!! yummy. I worry all the time about what Im eating and how much I eat, I have my food on a side plate and dont feel full!! which worries me! :-( I get my first fill on 12 may so hoping things will feel different after that! Enjoy your mushies hun xxx

Kevin if you are on solids then the only way to find out is to have some. I personally have never had issues with bread x

 

[magicbeans]

Thanks tam...u r right....hmmm.... she said the earliest i could go is 2 and a half weeeks which is about sunday/monday.... still try to have liquids here and there but am a lot more content on mushies.

thanks bikerlady....

 

[blueeyes]

I lasted about 10 days on liquids.. and have not had soup since! Well not often anyway. The 'mushy/pureed' stage is quite nice, I didn't mind that.

 

[magicbeans]

wow ur weight loss is amazing blueeyses....good to know all is going well with u ...how long were u meant to stay on liquids?

 

[Sarah Metcalf]

I was going to suggest you mash it with some custard, but Bikerlady beat me to it Mushies is a great stage, mashed potato with cheese, cauliflower cheese, nom, nom xx

 

[soon2Byummymummy!]

i enjoyed the mashed stage to cheesy mash mmmmm!! oh and mash and cornbeef yes you guessed it mashed together with bisto gravy mmmmmm!!!

I was banded three days ago at Sunderland i was instucted to go straight onto pureed, then two weeks soft diet and if tolerated then normal solid diet
Yesterday I has mash and pureed beans I managed to eat it but it seemed to lay heavy so I am back yo soup and yoghurts, any suggestions?

 

[soon2Byummymummy!]

hi durhamlass your doing right by going back to fluids you have alot of swelling inside at the moment so maybe another day or two on liquids and then try puree again?? most of us usually do 2 weeks fluids then 2 weeks mush so just take it a day at a time and introduce things a bit at a time HTH XX

 

[Durhamlass14]

Thanks I think you are right any advice for constipation have you had any probs?

 

[magicbeans]

prune juice or the best thing i found was lactulose from the pharmacy.

i was told 3 weeks of liquids which is ridiculous! managed 12-13days! how rubbish am i!
