Hi All

Been advised the following...

The booklet actually gives meal ideas stating:

Week 1:
Breakfast
200ml fruit juice
2-4 tbsps puree porridge
or fruit
Snacks
200ml Skimmed milk
1 pot of low calorie yoghurt or
fromage frais
Lunch
soup or sieved thick soups
Evening meal
As lunch or mashed potato with gravy and mashed veg (small portion)

Week 2:
Breakfast
4 tbsps cornflakes & milk
Snacks
soft fruits e.g melon/strawberries
Lunch
1 egg omelette or
1/2 jacket potato (no skin) mashed
with tuna, chese etc
Evening meal
3-4 tbsps minced meat
casserole with 1 tbsp soft mashed potato & veg

Week 3:
Breakfast
1 slice of bread and butter with poached egg
Snacks
fruit such as banana, apple, pear
or low fat rice pudding
Lunch
crackers/crisp breads with soft cheese or pate
Evening meal
minced meat or fish with gravy ot
white sauce with mashed potato and mashed veg

ONLY difference is...I was eating mashed banana and custard in week one, as I was given it at hospital, and I asked the nurse who called the day after I got home, and she said it was fine in week one.

Anyone got any other meal ideas...im actually on week 2 now....
