[mandymoo]

On the liquid stage just after my op but running out of ideas, got slimfast, low fat custard & Tom soup. Any other ideas please??? Xx

Low sugar jelly, make slush puppies with loads of low sugar cordial and ice, make low sugar ice lollies. Muller light yogurt, Boring this bit of the diet isn't it how much longer have you got to go before you can eat pureed food?

Actimel is good and innocent fruit tubes.

Im a savory person and discovered BOVRIL last night. Its amazing. No carbs and about 4g protein per teaspoon full. Ill post the full details later on the food idea thread.

I was going to suggest you look out for Tams threads on here Mandy as she is just a stage ahead of you xx
It's not usual for us to have so many active members at the same kind of stage in the process and I hope it's going to become the norm!
My advice is to read this area like crazy as there's a lot of useful things posted only in the last few weeks x

I am struggling to, I am really hating this stage, I need flavour!!! I am dreaming of mash potatoe and cheese!!!!!

Keep the ideas coming.

Would I do myself so much damage if I went to purée stage one day early??

Ooooppppps just realised I am on the wrong surgery thread!!! I hope I have not offended anyone, to me weight loss surgery is weight loss surgery whatever it may be xx

Of course you won't offend anyone Stefanie, we're all in the same boat no matter what surgery. I remember how lovely mash and cheese was after my op, hope you don't have much longer to wait for the next stage.

How about pasta sauces but minus the pasta? To make tomato and mascapone sauce I use: 1 carrot, 1 stk celery, 1 courgette and 3 mushrooms, cook them in passata for 20 mins, blend, return to the pan and add 2 large spns of reduced fat mascapone cheese and basil (to make it thinner you could add milk or water). It was an Annabel Karmel baby food recipe that was so nice I use it for all the family. Hope this helps xx

 

[Neen]

Stefanie we all have similar stuff immediately post op sweetie xxx The only thing that might be different for you is watching the sugar and fat content a little more carefully to avoid dumping xxx

 

[stefanie]

Thanks guys, mandymoo we have got through another day!!!

When can you have pureed?

Hope you have more fun on the next stage xx
