Hi

I was at a bbq a couple of weeks ago - i brought a couple of mini salmon fillets for the bbq and had a nice salad with them. I knew that I couldnt eat the burgers or sausages as I get very sick after eating them since op.

Have a lovely day

What about some chicken tikka and take a homemade yoghurt mint sauce and have with some salad.

Thanks, I don't like tikka but what's a yoghurt and mint sauce? Is it just plain yogurt mixed with normal mint sauce?
I am not a big fish fan I can just about manage tuna (tinned) and cod in sauce
I haven't tried burgers or sausages but have had frankfurters so that's another option
I am still on the mush/ soft stage

Yeah I used to add low fat yoghurt, a touch of sweet chilli dipping sauce and mint (if you use mint sauce from a jar make sure its sugar free or it could a dumping attack.

Not keen on chilli either lol but I didnt even think about sugar free mint sauce as I always used to mix it with vinegar and a touch of sugar!! Do they do a sugar free option?? And would. A small amount a cause dumping?

you can leave the chilli sauce out and add a touch of sweetener if needed. It depends on how sensitive you are to sugar. It used to make me dump and now if I have mint sauce on my dinner I have to sleep. So yes a tiny amount can cause you to dump. You could always make your own.

Hi

Just to let you know I tried the yoghurt and mint sauce and it was lovely thanks very much, and I didn't dump so that will be a regular for a while xx
I managed 1/2 a chicken breast and a bite of a beef burger (no bun) and 1/2 a jacket potato with egg Mayo before I was too full to eat anymore, the dog was pleased with my leftovers lol
I didn't feel left out or deprived at all it was a lovely family meal.
Anymore ideas greatly received,
