Slimfast

[delacey]

Hi, I am 5 weeks post op having lost just over 2 and a half stone Today I seem to of picked up a cold from my kids and dont feel like eating at all. I have however just managed to have a slimfast, but i was struck by hopw much sugar is in this. I hope this doesnt cause me to dump! I just didnt feel like anything else to eat at all...does anyon e know if post op this is okay..or should we avoid because of the sugar content?

On my advice sheet from my consultant it did say slimfast is ok. I am 9 days post-op and have been having 1/2 a bottle of slimfast for my breakfast, and so far I have not dumped.
Hope this helps

You should have progressed to soft food. Slimfast is a liquid. Moving through the stages is important to get to learning to eat 'normally' does your evening meal go down ok?

Yeah i have gone in to Soft Food but my diet sheet i have to follow still says i should be drinking Protien Shakes but im thinking 2 is too much now so dor this past week ive just had the one (or none if i dont feel i need it). Yeah my lunch and evening meal goes down fine, usually hav e something and mash Toast is still a bit tricky in the mornings.
