Hey all, I got home yesterday evening and settling in well managed a weetabix with generous amount of milk for breakfast taking it slow and was just the right amount to fill me up, so will be my default start to the day for time being. I've been having plenty of fluids and not eaten anything yet that has disagreed with me but I'm sticking strictly to suggestions from my care team which are...
Post op weeks 1-4 puree consistency
BREAKFAST:- porridge. Ready Brek with skimmed/semi-skimmed milk. Weetabix saturated with skimmed/semi-skimmed milk.
LUNCH:- liquidised soup e.g, pea and ham, lentil, chicken and rice. very soft mashed potato with finely minced meat.
EVENING MEAL:- Shepherds pie with well cooked carrots. Fish in white sauce with very soft mashed potatoes and we'll cooked swede.
PUDDINGS/SNACKS:- sugar free custard/Angel Delight/instant whip. low fat/low sugar milkshake. low fat/diet yogurt or fromage frais. Fruit juice.
Looking ahead to weeks 4 - 8 etc things start getting more exciting with range of ideas. I'll be sure to let you all know if I eat anything that I can't tolerate.
