Struggling help

[fatnomoreclo]

Hello all, I'm almost 7 weeks post op & on mashed up/soft food stage & really struggling on what to eat! I've been told by my surgical team no carbs, I have tried Eggs a Few times & they just get stuck I'm bored of soup, mashed veg & cheese triangles any help? As I'd love more of a meal thanks clo x x

i hated that part more than any other , i was so glad when i came out of it but now there's a lot of things i can't stand because i got so fed up of them and i know you asked for help but all i could do was struggle through it so can't help i did enjoy corned beef hash though and mince and mash but not every bloody day

 

[fatnomoreclo]

Well thank you anyway I know I have now gone off everything I'm allowed can't even have mash because not allowed carbs pain in the bum! Thanks again xxx

Try mashed swede and carrot, cottage pie, fish pie all nice and soft if the potato is a problem top them with the mashed carrot/swede, tuna in very light mayo, low fat pate, hope that helps xxx

Ooohhhh that's s good idea! Never thought of pate either thank you x x

Mashed butternut squash is an excellent potato substitute. Delicious with some garlic powder seasoning. Gorgeous dry-roasted when you move off purees.

Did they say why carbs were banned? Mashed potato was actually on my diet sheet!

Cauliflower cheese,poached eggs,insides of fish fingers.... Seems strange they have banned carbs as u need some substance for energy !! Different hosps again have different plans !! Gl Hun xx

All it says on my sheet is you get the carbs from the fruit & veg that I eat! Really I'm not telling fibs! I think I might give eggs one last try & see how I get on. Thank you xxx
