Hi Brandi
Welcome to minis and congratulations on your bypass glad to hear all went well and you are on the losing side now. I had keyhole bypass ten weeks ago and feeling the benfits already. As far as the first two weeks go along with what you have mentioned i ate smooth low fat yougharts, low fat custard and sugar free angel delight. I made home made veg soup and blended it to a thin smooth consistency. Also chicken noodle soup is good strained. Any questions feel free to ask, Nice to have you on board xx

Hi Brandi

I had my keyhole bypass on 13th so I'm 2 days further on from you.
Just about to go onto puree but don't really want much at the moment.
Getting all the fluid in is taking me all day and I'm struggling.

Holding on to everyones assurance that things get better day by day.

 

[BrandiBelle]

Hi Brandi - I'm 2 weeks post op. I've been having home made chicken broth but after a few days I felt I needed something a little more substantial so I put some potato flakes in it just to give a better consistency. This week I was craving vegetables so I roasted some butternut squash, onion, leek, peppers and garlic then blitzed it all with tinned chopped tomatoes and tinned cannelini beans. Yum. Tonight I put some parmesan in it for extra protein. Be careful though, you have to make sure the cheese has fully melted - and don't put in so much that it forms an elastic mass - that would cause intense pain. Highlight or Options hot chocolate are ok - so is soya milk if you like it. As Gaelic Girl said, diet yogurts (smooth - no bits). So anything, really, as long as it can go through a seive at this stage. I hope this helps and - welcome to the site! Mxx

Welcome Brandi

I had my op on 14th Oct.

I have just started having mash watered down with gravy so its dead sloppy. Mmm its delicious also try puttin some mash in your soup to thicken it slightly. Not too thick tho its still gotta run off the spoon.

 

[BrandiBelle]

awww thanx for the comments the doc said ive gotta have clear fluids til sunday how im not allowed mash or that til then you lot r luck
