Sorry to moan guys, but nearly 3 weeks in of liquid-only and I am fed up! I have also developed some strange habits with food...! Three weeks on Tuesday I get the wires off and I will be banded and I can't wait! I will be able to move onto mush - it cannot come soon enough!
Any suggestions of things that can be blended and preferably not sieved (though I am happy to sieve if it means it'll taste nice).
So far I am enjoying home-made soups best. I tried blended cheese sauce, broccoli, cauliflower and parsnip today and a suggestion of my mum but I really didn't like it. Since there was nothing else to eat I ended up having milked-down bread sauce and some gravy (separate though).
I am having a lot of difficulty at having things mixed together I like to have things separately (unless it's in a soup) I think it tastes nicer but not sure if it's also a bit physiological that I have a bit of control over what is going in.
I also have a thing about sniffing food...! I am starting not to feel hunger at all (just get a bit shakey and it reminds me to eat if I have forgotten) so I've been sniffing things that I would normally eat such as my other half's chicken nuggets and then I will have a milkshake because it makes me crave food (can't call it hunger really). I'm not sure if my body has adapted to turning off the hunger feeling as it was there the first two weeks and then it just seemed to disappear.
I'm just fed up really and the only consolation is that I've lost nearly a stone (lost 12lbs so far). I put on a lot of weight before surgery as I wasn't exactly the biggest of people. I am 3lbs less than my pre-surgery-fatten-up-diet weight which is good.
Sorry to moan, I know a lot of you guys have been through it and gotten out the other side so some words of encouragement would be great :) I really think I'm going a bit mad.
