The Food Bible

Ive been searching forums again today to help me answer some food questions

Q1  What is the difference between pureed and mushy food
A     You can eat the same thing on both stages (eg lasagne), however on the puree stage, you must use a blender to blitz your food.  On the puree stage, you may also need to add extra liquid (eg gravy) so it slips down.   Mushy stage would be the lasagne chopped with a fork, no major hard bits in there either!

Q2   How much protein do i need to be eating?
A     I need to be eating between 60-70grams of protein a day (this is going to be tough!)

Q3   How much should i be able to eat in the first year?
A     I should be able to manage 4-6oz a meal (thats a fourth of a pound of food), a small container

It seems that the golden rule post any weight loss surgery is:



Protein first, then veggies, then carbs!!

Now i need to find out how i will manage 70 grams of protein in a day urgh x
