Beside my big scare last week, and three days in hospital again, things have been back to normal for the past 9 days. I still have little pains here and there, can't really carry anything heavy but that's ok.
I banned all meds in tablets (still have to take a PPi for 3 months to avoid ulcers), switched to capsules I can open, and do the same with vitamins. So far so good, and the awful horse pill is waiting for my next post-op in August, to be discussed with the surgeon. I hope I can just not take it again.
I can still drink a lot, but I've been extra careful with proteins because it seems my stomach can't stand fish or pork anymore (except ham), or even eggs. Tuna (can) is ok in very small quantities.
Again like post-sleeve, I can't drink milk, which is fine, I found some milk with no lactose but still high calcium (couldn't find it in Asia).
I had lots of veggies soups mixed with cheese (a kind of cottage cheese) but I'm getting tired of soups!
Yesterday I tried some potatoes (gratin) and it was fine, the day before I tried courgette and eggplant (all just pureed with a fork, not mixed), was fine too. May be I can finally eat a few more items with a little texture. Baby food texture is so unappetizing..
I can't wait to be able to eat raw veggies and fruits in a few days, it's the perfect season now, no more of the awful reflux, but I can't eat raw until Friday, so I will make some great salad and fruit salad for the kids return!
