Hello Helen, I'm still on a similar stage to you. From reading different threads on here for snacks I've found those dairylea triangles, mini muller rice puddings and little star yoghurts go down well. I've found the mini pots of milky things have been just enough to eat without overloading my new stomach. I've also worried about how little I want to eat and there's no way I'm up to the recommended amounts of protein. But from what I've gathered from other folk everyone is different. The people on the forum are great so I'm sure you will get some other ideas to try. Good luck!

I am 11 days post op and given ok to move onto puree on monday. I made a lean corned beef hash with tinned toms in and little mash and liquidised that. Quite tasty and high in protein! Plus one tin of lean corned beef, 3/4 tin toms and 1 portoin of msh made LOADS! Have had it for last 3days and frozen some and still some left in fridge...it handy for work! I put some in a baby food pot and it perfect size!!!

Like you I'm only managing to eat 3, maybe 4 at a push, time a day! Hosp said not to worry though as if you force it you can cause leaks so only eat what you can, you'll know when you can handle more.
