| Shadesail/Jen, Yes, you are quite right. I know that the sleeve is step one of a proper bypass. The sleeve is more appealing as it doesn't involve shortening of the intestinal tract. Someone had asked about the amount of food you eat compared with your weight loss. On first glance it looks as though you eat more than us banders. Perhaps they don't realise that you have malapbsorption going on, so that you are only getting a portion of the calories. The bypass used to be most appealing to me because of that. I thought I could still eat the same junk but only absorb a little of the cals - stupid logic! I know that you aren't able to eat too much sugar due to possible dumping syndrome?? That certainly would be a positive for sweet addicts, like myself. I don't toast the pita bread. It is in the freezer, and I zap it to defrost on high for 10 seconds. Although as of yesterday, I think I will stop doing that. I'm unsure if I have a tummy virus or whether the bread was stuck. I have had trouble swallowing ever since and my stomach "burned". Only had fluids today so far. Cat |

| I've been off the air for a few days - it feels like my brain has been turned off. All of a sudden I seem to have 'forgotten' that I have a band, and have been trying to eat all sorts of things that then came back up. Weird. Today I feel a bit back to normal, and as there is a low pressure system hovering over the house it is wet and windy and a bit cool. Gives you that soup feeling. I'm going to have some pea and ham soup etc the next few days and get the volume of food back to the way it should be. It has been a very funny few days... Jen |

| Fluff, I would highly recommend the sleeve to anyone wanting a review surgery as the bypass is quite a full on op. Your food diary sounds yum..mmm tzatziki...are you toasted the pita bread in the oven and dipping it? There was a mention earlier about chowmein, I loved it when I had my band and I make it know about once a fortnight. I use half a cabbage, carrots, capsicum, brocolli, zuchini, rice noodles and mince. I use curry powder, soy sauce, crushed garlic and chicken stock to flavour. It's great way to get lots of veggies and if you use lean mince its a great meal and freezes well. If anyones stuck for ideas theres some great recipes on the recipe thread. Jen |

| Thanks for the info Jen/Shadesail. It might be just me, but I have often wondered if I would go the bypass if the band failed for some reason. TODAY ===== Breakfast - 1 weetbik with pura skim milk Snack - half a 250ml Up and Go, LITE (new style) Lunch - 1/3 500ml bottle of Lipton white tea and raspberry Snack - half a wholemeal pita with tzaziki Snack - 1 50 cal lifesaver ice block Dinner - 2 campbell's cuppa soups (spaced about 2 hours apart). I seem to have picked up a tummy flu an only feel like fluids. The pita bread went down like lead. Cat |

| hello all, zippy i am going to follow what you eat, as i seem to be going a lot slower than i should. I am missing the protein and low carbs, i will follow your example. Moira |

| Im going to start keeping track of what im eating because I havent been and i really have no idea what im eating day by day. Id also like a little more restriction - one more fill might do it - but going on a round the world trip for two months next month and dont want another fill yet in case something goes wrong while im away. Im not on a diet, but im curious about volume - brekky: I NEVER eat brekky (just not hungry) lunch: 1 cuppa soup, 1/2 cup caesar salad Dinner: 1 large cup s'getti bol Drinks: water and 1 hot chocolate no snacks ~ Lilly . |

| unzippin, funny thing is since the op I don't feel hungry, it's kinda odd, i'm told it's because my body no longer can produce grelin (the hunger hormone), so I have to mindful that my tummy doesn't grumble and also I don't feel full in the traditional sense either. Some days I eat more and less than what I listed, but I love that I can have grainy bread or turkish bread and rolls when i'm out and that I can eat with my family for dinner, which I struggled to do with my band as it was always overfilled. I've lost 26.8kg and my op was the 12th may, the weight loss has slowed but each week I lose between 1 and 3kg, I obviously have to take a multi everyday but that's really the only maintenance. I can eat pretty much anything, but I avoid anything really fatty and it's incredible to me but I don't eat chocolate like I use to, I use to crave it everyday but now i'm lucky to have it once a week and i'm happy with just a light mars bar or a freddo. Chocolate doesn't seem to taste as good anymore...spins me out. I can drink with all my meals, but I don't guzzle it down, it was great to finally have a tea with my toast, I had missed that sooo much. I'm stil recovering slowly as I have had bronchitis now for nearly 7 weeks, that's has made the recovery a bit of a drag but hey, i'm on my third box of antibiotics, so fingers crossed. I think that was everything, i'm not sure if i'm eating enough or too much, but the weight is coming off and I had started at the gym just over a week ago and had one session but my flu came back with a vengence so the doc has said to put that on hold for another week. I can't wait to get cracking with it though, I felt great afterward and my body shape is changing and I was washing my face lastnight and thought..geez I can actually feel my cheekbones, my face looks odd to me when I catch myself in a mirror. Thanks for asking...I should go back to the dietician and make sure i'm eating enough/the right stuff. Jen |

| Shadesail I find your food diary interesting... do you feel full on that amount of food....dang it must be wonderful to have a cuppa WITH your breakfast. So how much would you lose per week on this amount of intake with the bypass... sorry if that is a rude question you dont have to answer, I am just really interested. Are you happy with the results, how was your recoup |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Thanks Dorothy...yep; I am only going to get a little bit. I had .1 taken out after the last fill and I will get a real little bit put back in now; 2 months later. It only needs a small bit as I can still feel restriction. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Typical Bypasser Day: Brekky, two pieces of toast with marg and vegetmite, cup of coffee with skim milk and one sugar Morning tea, mandarine or apple Lunch, Tuna and cucumber sandwich Afternoon tea, sakata's (about 1-2 rows) and light cream cheese Dinner, chicken breast (skin removed), couscous (half a cup) capsicum, corn, zuchini, brocolli, carrot (all in total just over a cup of food on plate) Dessert: Boost icipole or frozen light mars bar |

| col, i noticed your bit about a fill...i felt the same and just wanted a tweek so i asked for .03 and it worked.tis not an over fill so its good. check with pyretta as i read somewhere as she got the same amount. cheers |

| I constantly think of food too...its how my head is wired but I find sticking to protein and lo carb helps combat cravings better than anything else I do... | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Hi Zippy, its good to read your stats, apart from being 3" taller then me our weights at the beginning of this journey are about the same, so I am hoping that come the end of Sept I might be looking at the same kind of picture as you. I understand about the feeling of hunger and about being easily satisfied that is me too, so I think I will tell my doc I will persevere with a little hunger rather then go down the road of the reflux ugh. I still though, am constantly thinking about what I am going to have for meals though, and what we will have for tea each night, and then eat such a small amount ,I don't understand why it consumes so much of my life, I spend alot of time cooking still, because that is one of my passions, but I freeze the meals in small containers and my girls (x5), come home for weekends and take it back with them. They are all busy professional women and I like to think I can make their day a little easier, and that they are eating right. I cook on the weekends and on my two days off every second week. Beez..... and remember its not good to stress because you can go backwards and it becomes desserts! |

| B- poached egg at around 11.00 L- 1 tuna snack pot (creamy tomato) + an extra teasp of 99% fat free mayo S- daughter brought home a soft serve 995 fat free yogurt...what could I do???? D - mince made like chowmean... had 1/2 a cup. several cups of tea with a splash of low fat milk and a ton of water. No reflux or indigestion at all.... I have hunger but I think its in my head as only smallish amounts of food satisfy me. I dont think I will get a fill anytime soon as I want to give the band a break after the last 4 weeks of acid and up chucking...*sigh* do we ever forget we have the band inside us and spend a day free of thinking of it....hmmmm I wonder.... |

| Hey everyone and Col. lol you spoke too soon. Remember how I said I had lamb shanks yesterday and all went down well, as it did. I thought you beauty, so as hubby was having an agent come to lunch today , I made a nice lamb chop casserole. I cut up the meat very small and ate my 3/4 of a cup, which I have discovered is my best portion size to avoid any PBing. it went down a treat. Foe our evening meal I cooked a few more vegies and we had left over casserole. I did it all the same way, but this time I gagged, choked, coughed, spluttered and after two or three mouthfuls, Pbed the small amount I had eaten back up , and the remainder went to the dog !! Ugh this band is so fickle! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
