This may help Nicola- I'm sure Chrisa won't mind me copying her message to me on a different thread. It really helped me to focus on my diet. Hope it does for you too!!
Ceecie are you having enough? You should be eating about 6 little meals a day at this stage and usually puree. There are lots of things you can have, be imaginative I know food is the furthest thing form peoples minds at the start but you have to eat to keep your strength up. You need protein, chicken, cheese, milk etc. I used to get my meals sorted for the day, breakfast-1/2 Weetabix or 1/2 porridge sachet. s- snack pot yoghurt. L -pureed veg with meat from sunday lunch. s- custard with pureed fruit/sfree jelly. D- 1/3 -1/2 tin of Heinz big beef n veg or chicken veg soup pureed. s - milk/ milky drink. there are loads of things you can have all veg just add gravy or cheese sauce , fruit pureed, once you get to 4 weeks well am going by my hospital yours may say different then go onto soft food stage, protein is most important, you can have soft cheese, dairylea etc mix it with potato or have as a snack. xxx
