I don't think it will affect much but it's always better to stick to what your plan Says. Good luck

You have been given medical advice to start Thursday so I would do as advised by the professionals

 

[Tracey]

Yes true ....I did ask my bariatric nurse before xxx

I started when they told me to and had problems so only start if you feel ready - otherwise start on Thursday like you've been advised.x

Well first day on pureed food and not that bad only thing I struggled with was breakfast I can't eat weetabix/porridge without sugar tried calling nurse and left a message and she hasn't got back to me but does any one know weather i could put something like splender or canderal on my breakfast ?

 

[Tracey]

I used canderal x

 

[starryeyed]

Sweetener is fine x

 

[countrywench]

What about mashing a banana into the porridge to replace the sugar ?

 

[starryeyed]

Banana and low fat custard is recommended too x

try quaker golden syrup porridge sachets, they are fantastic seriously...I live on them. They have a lovely sweet taste and with semi skimmed milk come out at 210 calories a portion and about 10g of protein. At first I could only manage a few spoons but now, 2 years out, and can manage the portion in about ten minutes.

Mmmm !
