Glad it all went well for you, honey ... I did the milk diet so can't help with your question. Sure someone will soon, though xxx

All hospitals seem to differ, does your diet sheet say things like cereal? eggs? read through it again, sometimes it make sense the more you read it through.
Good luck though.

Hi Staruk,

Well out of that list they have given you I think the breakfast options are:

1 clear soup

2 sugar free jelly

3 bovril or consomme

or

7 Three apples or pears a day


Yes I know some people might think "soup" odd for breakfast but I have a savoury tooth. Otherwise you are limited to just the sugar free jelly and 1 or 2 apples for breakfast.
