yeah I managed it

[tesmaralda]

Today I had to cook the dinner as hubby has had to work I did a beef brisket joint in my slow cooker with carrots and onions. I also did freash peas, runner beans, broccoli and jersey mids (my all time favourite potato)

Well I managed to eat 4 carrots, 1 and half potatoes, 1 broccoli florret, a couple of slice of runner bean and some beef. I had to have loads of gravy with it (made from the liquid I cooked the beef in). This is my first cooked dinner I have managed to eat since my op that is not blended or mushy/sloppy food. I know this might sound like a trivial achievement to some but I actually enjoyed my dinner. So to people that think a bypass will put an end to enjoying your food it doesn't. I know this is still early days for me and thngs could change tomorrow but for today I have enjoyed my food choices. I even managed cucumber, tomato, raddish and corned beef with an oat cake for my lunch. So I have made progress on eating more veg finally.

That's fantastic news Terri, dinner sounds gorgeous, and a lovely positive thing for me to look forward to! Phil has made some leek & potato soup today nice and fresh, had a very small amount of it earlier and it was soooo tasty. Felt much more satisfying than a bovril!!

Well done Terri, 1st for cooking and 2nd for enjoying a decent meal. Hey what times dinner next sunday?? I'll be round in time to join you lol.

 

[tesmaralda]

next weeks another story got hubby's b'day bbq so am hoping he's taking us out for lunch.

 

[thinkbethin]

Get hubby to take you to lunch and then get him to do the bbq too. That way he can't complain if somethings not right lol.

 

[tesmaralda]

i cook the bbq because it stops me wanting to eat everything in sight, its worked for the last 2 post op lol

 

[thinkbethin]

Its not just me then that does'nt want to eat when I've stood and cooked a meal. Good luck and lets hope the weather holds off for you.

 

[Nezzy]

Thats great news! Its nice to hear that a bypasser so soon after your op is able to eat some normal food, gives me some hope as I'm 3 weeks post op and totally sick of fluids, well done!
