Well the way I make it is really easy and a bit of a cheats way lol,
I use them boil in a bag cod in parsley sauce.
I put 2 cod in parsley sauce (Frozen) in the bottom of a dish.
Mash a load of tatties with a knob of butter. Put the tatties on top lol, and then grate some cheese and slice a couple of tomatoes and pop them on and then put it in the oven on around 150 (Electric) for around 45 mins and its scrummy. My Hubby has a massive plate full of it and I have a very nice helping too. ussually have it with some petit pois, Oh god i could just eat it now lol, I will have to make it this week sometime.

Hiya helen... well done on the weightloss thats fantastic, i am sorry i cant give you any information as i am waiting for my band operation and to get on the loser side too, but wanted to say well done to you. X

Trouble is we all get different advise from the various hospitals. If you have it done at Walsall you are only allowed pureed food between four weeks and eight weeks and even then it has to almost run off the spoon.

You are also told protein protein protein!! Its to aid the healing which internally apparently takes around three months. No carbs so its tiny amounts of potatoes and no pasta.

I must admit I've found it hard to find things that don't taste yukk when you liquidise them (chicken is horrible wizzed) but the time soon passes. I did a lot of experimenting with fruits, custards with artificial sweetners, stuffed icepops for the crunch, tried freezing things if they wouldn't go down warm and vice versa.

I do have a lot of those boil in the bag cods (not the ones in butter mind) because they do seem to stay down quite well and are very soft but tried some mashed up carrots and at nine weeks they still got stuck, as did of all things some strawberrys.

I'm still having days when I totally fed up because I can't find anything different to eat and am so bored with fish and cottage cheese, but when I look at the scales it doesn't seem so important.

Another thing you can do is add a few shrimp/prawns to the base before topping with the tatties, i make mine from scratch sometimes then i add a chopped up boiled egg to the base as well as a mix of fish and prawms in a white parsley or cheese sauce depending on my mood

 

[hopelesscase]

stews are great at this stage i just throw everything in the slow cooker and leave it to do its self then thicken the juices with cornflour. or rissotto or paella done with lots of veg and meets but half the rice.
