Post op protein intake??

[slimpip]

Hi folks, I'm having a sleeve 2 weeks today and am trying to get organised and sort of help my other half out as he's trying to help bless him. We are trying to work out what sort of foods are going to be ok to puree and beyond that, I've been looking at kids ready meals for soft food stage, things such as fish pie, but can you help me understanding the labels as I'm trying to work out what kind of protein v carbs levels are ok and which tip the balance into being unhealthy for my needs. Sorry if that's a daft question, i'd appreciate any help XX

I'm always saying this but get in marvel milk powder..great for your protein needs.

Yeah we've got that in hun thanks. Just wondering about the nutrition labels, for example if something had 15grams of protein and 25grams of carbs is that ok? Or what is the ideal balance, what should I be looking for? X

Our dietician recommends to aim for a least 70g of protein a day,I've had a bypass though x
