Hi Tracey,

I find exactly the same, then around an hour later my stomach feels all bloated. I tend to just eat what portion size the hospital recommended. All hospitals are different and recommended different things.

I have been reading of people eating 4-5 table spoons in my hospital book it says 2-3 tablespoons 4 times a day but I'm tending to struggle to fit that many meals in so just having a few tablespoons which is more than my hospital recommended

I have been getting pains sometimes when I eat but I think it's just wind pains (wind is killing me) I've mainly been eating soups, porridge, yoghurt etc. I've been trying not to weigh myself but they weighed me the day I was admitted to hospital and I was 16st then I was 15st 1lb the day I was discharged xx

Looking at you surgery date, your only 1 week post op. You should be on fluids not pureed food If you are struggling you may be moving to fast.

 

[Tracey37]

When I was in hospital the next morning a for the five days I was in hospital I was given liquid foods i.e runny ready break , runny yogurt , and soup
And dietician gave m a book to follow this diet for three weeks then to move on purée for 2weeks then soft foods xxx

I was liquids the day and day after surgery then straight on to purée the day after that and got to stay on purée for 4 weeks then move to soft for 2-4 weeks then on to normal. I know it seems fast but that is wot I've been told to do.

No, I was struggling with purée when in the hospital and they just wanted me to go on with it. They kept me in an extra day but kept me on purée

All hospitals are different, i guess. Good luck with progressing on pureed food.

If your on the pureed stage, then yes it sounds fine, i was told as long as it drips off a spoon, yogurt thickness, with no lumps then its fine.
