I would start on the Wednesday, but speak to your dietician if you want their expert guidance wobbly x

I had mine on a thursday, but started on my mush on the friday, so the first day of week 3.

lol these days can drag by at times . . .even though i've been on the mash stage since friday, I'm actually finding it really hard to want to eat food, I think its because I am very aware of what got me to this point, and then it makes me hesitant of eating, maybe its because Im scared of this not working. As well as the fact I find that I feel more thirsty than hungry . . .its all very bizarre lol

Looking forward to tomorrow.

Going shopping later for fooooodddd......

Any tips on what. To go for on mushy stage.

Was gonna get a few ready meals, cottage/fish pie,with mashed carrot/swede. Thicker soups, scrambled eggs x x

I've been having flaked fish, salmon, cod. Also had a cod in a parsley sauce. I made a small homemade cottage pie and topped it with swede and carrot to avoid the carbs in potatoes. Ready brek as its the only cereal I will eat apart from special K lol. Im not keen on scrambled eggs but did have some yesterday.

Also made some bubble and squeak with mashed potato, cabbage etc and mashed it right down and baked it.

I bought a couple of ready meals from sainsburys good for you range yesterday, they are on offer at 3 for £5, so got shepherds and a cottage pie.

mashed or stewed fruit, low fat custard.,

I was told to start off with very mashed food and quite runny, moving to more firmer towards the end of the 2 weeks. I have no fill in my band however so I know that I can actually eat a fair amount of food and ones I really shouldn't be, its just sheer willpower at the moment.

Other things, smoothies with fruit in, very ripe melon, weetabix, very soft mashed pasta.

I spoke to my dietitian today she suggest
Cottage pie
Shepard pie
Fish pie
Corn beef harsh
Collflowerbrocallie bake with small amount cheese sauce

These sort of thing she also said have stewed fruit with custard or low fat jelly or angel delight

Hope this helps a little x
