      Its been nearly a week since my op and I’m getting liquid and shakes in no problem at all! Having trouble with the 20+ rule though. I have another week left on liquids and I’m desperate for solid foods! I actually dreamt of eating steak last night! Has anyone else experienced this and how did they deal with it? It’s driving me insane! I understand the risks of not moving onto solid food too quickly as it can cause the band to slip but sadly imagination is far more powerful than logic x

      Hi Sarah. It is really hard but think of how far you have come and it’s just another 1 week     Think how hard the pre – op diet is and you did it 😃

      For now you  can try some sugar free jelly, low fat custard and smooth, thin yoghurts and fromage frais as well as your liquids.

      Just stay strong and keep busy to distract yourself  – it’s just not worth risking problems with the band now you have come so far

      good luck – I know it’s hard xx

      Thanks in sheer desperation I sucked on some soft cheese triangles earlier. I made sure they were completely dissolved before swallowing. I’m going to drive tomorrow, first time after op so will stock up on everything you said. Also had a look at the recipes in the liquid section! 😋

      If you add loads of ice to your smoothie and serve it in a nice tall glass it feels a little bit more exciting xx

      if you’re not too cold you could have an ice lolly

      There are some liquid meal plans in the kitchen too xx
