Fat Quantites.

[Mrs Quiggle]

Someone help me out please. I know that with sugar we are looking at 5-10g of sugar per 100g of product but what is the amount of fat that we're ok with.

Also, on the puree stage, has anyone had curry. I brought a container of chicken tikka masala from Asda yesterday to puree and freeze in small portions but I'm wondering A. about the fat, (it's quite low) and b. will the spice aggrevate my stomach while it's healing. I know it's different for everyone so a bit of a difficult one to answer but just wondering.

I've been putting loads of portions of pureed and mashable foods in little pots in readiness. Made chilli tonight so will freeze some of this too.

I can't wait till I can eat again.

I had Chinese curry on puree stage just because I was desperate to get my taste buds going. I was fine.

Fat needs to be 5% per 100g or less

As soon as I was able to have puree I was eating Mint Sauce, Spices, Sharwoods Curry pastes etc....anything that was tasty...all ok.

You'll be fine, go with what you really want post op...you wont be able to have massive quantities, so whatever stage your at, make sure what you eat you really enjoy....

Cant wait to see you on the losers bench,, good luck x

Thanks Sarah, that's great. I can't wait either lol. Only tonight and tomorrow then it's B day. Wish I hadn't got to go to work tomorrow, and I've got a supper party to do tomorrow night for 8 of us. Guess what I'll be having to eat.

Love Kate x

All the very best ...I'll be thinking of you and all of you have your procedure this week

My guidelines were 5g per 100g or no more than 15g per serving. This is because so many foods are higher than 5g, but when you consider the amounts you have it's a different story. Same with sugar.

So if something is 10g per 100g but I only eat 50g is that ok.

That's what I was told and how I did things.
