hi all , well i am a week out today from my bypass and gallbladder removal. spent a bit longer in hospital due to a few problems, so actually only my 3rd full day at home today. I had it at st richards in chichester, and before i left they got us on mash potato consistency.
Since iv been home, what iv eaten has gone down ok no big problems
id like to post a couple of days menus what iv been eating and also get some advice at things i should be eating on this stage as im having mash alot and i wondered obviously its carbs, so does this matter to much this far out? in my booklet it says weeks 1-4 is pureed, now the idea of pureeing certain foods really doesnt appeal to me so iv been having stuff that dont need pureeing to much, i wondered where cauliflower falls? if i had that with a bit of sauce? or is that going to fall in the soft/crispy stage at 4 wks plus ? iv been adding marvel to some bits.
i need a few ideas etc and like i say just a bit of guidance. Iv got corned beef to try tonight, mashed up with gravy granules and maybe mash??
