My Weekend

[Guest guest]

Well I survived the weekend with a few revelations along the way. I

am very very happy to say that I am still experiencing the " no

hunger " stage and I still have a lot of restriction so I am where I

have wanted to be for the past 4 months or so and I am losing

weight. On Friday night I went home and had a couple of teaspoons of

smoked salmon pasta and a couple of teaspoons of the dogs stew I made

for him. then I spent the rest of the evening throwing this up.

Just before I fell asleep after nearly 6 hours in bed, I PB'd thru my

nasal passage which is the most revolting experience and I was very

nervous about surviving the weekend before getting some unfill

today. Saturday I had a VLCD for lunch, no breakie and then made the

shanks and had those for dinner with no probs. Sun I made a

tuna/pasta bake and threw that up as well so gave that away to my

neighbour yesterday when it finally dawned on my that everything I

have been sick with over the past 10 days has involved pasta. So I

can no longer tolerate this. Last night was another bad night after

I had a couple of hot chips at the pub with my girlfriend - obviously

now that I am experiencing real restriction for the first time, the

band is telling me I am not going to tolerate both quantities and

certain types of foods. So I am going to be very careful testing

things out that are on the banders " problem foods " list from here on.

Last night after the failure to hold down even a couple of teaspoons

of food I came home early and tried again with another food (apricot

chicken and veg) and could not hold that either. I am feeling very

raw in the throat this morning and about to attempt some lunch, but

get the feeling that if something does not agree with me, I need to

give up food altogether for that meal, as my system is aggrivated and

I will not be able to digest anything. does anyone else find this

happening to them? I decided not to see the surgeon this morn and

just put my new knowledge about my banded state into practice and see

how I go. Anyway I'm off to try the apricot chicken again - Mel I

made with your suggested ingreds, plus I added onions, a pkg of

frozen spinach and some dried apricots and sultanas - here's hoping I

can now eat it!!
