Welcome back Bigbob. Glad to hear you are okay after the scare and you are now one of the elite on here, a sleiver I hear you on the pain, i had my bypass open and that was nothing compared to the pain of the wind

Here's hoping your as successful as our other slievers and we see lots more of you posting but a lot less of you on your follow up pics.

Please don't be a stranger, we need you x

Hi Bob, Welcome to the club I was sleeved on the 31st March. My first 2 weeks i was told just to have clear fluids. So i had a protein shake for breakfast, 2 of my nutrichew multivitamins, clear soups and juice and that was fine. After 2 weeks i had 1 week of total mush - fruit puree, blended chunky soups and veg. Week 4 was mushy but not blended so eggs, baked beans that type of thing and then last week i started on solid food in bit size pieces. The dietician made me buy a portion bowl and plate for sleevers and honestly its fantastic.

At the moment i am having half a cup of sultana bran for breakfast with fortified milk, Generally a piece of chicken or something for lunch and chunky soup for tea.

Hope that helps a little bit
