This is another new favourite but a little spicier than my sausage and been casserole as it comes from a different place flavour wise. It’s also TRULY a one pot wonder as it has everything in it. Since surgery I’ve found it hard to get my protein in and looked at this as a way…
Category: Life after Surgery
Lockdown sucks
Short but very honest post here…. I’m coming up to 22 months since I had bariatric surgery and I’ve just got on the scales after being in lockdown (due to previous medical conditions I’m not sposed to go out) I know I’ve been making bad choices due to stress and anxiety (and not just a…
Managing Christmas after bariatric surgery
Full disclosure… I am 18 months post op and at the maintaining stage of my bariatric journey and this Christmas is the first time I’ve felt in control IN MY LIFE!! Last Christmas, 6 months post op was a non-event as I had no interest in food and hated everything about the time of year…
Smoked salmon & scramble egg on sourdough
I’ve found that the trick to eating well post bariatric surgery lies in cheating your eyes that you are eating what everyone else is. The truth is often that you are eating much less and I have friends that, even though they don’t experience hunger, do feel left out when everyone is eating much more…
Face2Face Friday
So this is it… This is the Image that has finally convinced me that Ive done the right thing with this surgery. There are 8 years and 8 stones between these pictures Then At 40 I used to feel like an old man. I topped the scales at 24 and a half stones (155kg) I…
Sugar free apple crumble
It’s been a while since posting and I will get back through the backlog but in the meantime to celebrate 4 months since surgery I wanted to make a sugar free dessert. Inspired by one of my surgery buddies who was making apple and oat muffins for breakfast I decided to attempt a sugar free…
Week five after surgery – and my life just got soft AND crunchy
OMG I never thought I would cry about eating a mini Cheddar!! But that’s exactly what I did when I had my first real crunch in 4 whole weeks. I woke up excited about being able to expand what I could eat and yet breakfast still ended up being Weetabix (although for the rest of…
Week four after surgery – and I never want to see puree again
So its the last week before I move onto soft and crunchy and after I got over being ill for the last week (bonus I lost a stone and I didnt have to eat puree ) I really still didn’t want to eat. I did however need to get some food in so I was…
Week three after surgery – tantrums can be warning signs
Half way through week three and I had a full on meltdown. I’d returned to work on the Monday and was actually enjoying being back In the office, even though I was resting lots and not being 100% productive it was good to be back doing something. Despite trying to be innovative by Wednesday I…
Week two after surgery – babyfood sucks
By the second week after surgery I got into an easy rhythm. I knew when I needed food, I had time on my hands and I was managing to get the liquids in. But I’ll be honest I was starting to get bored. The babyfood I had prepped for myself went largely uneaten and I…
