Re: C hriss - back to Ghyll

[Guest guest]

Thank you Ghyll - I thought I'd never do it. I'm really good at

the " get plenty of sleep " bit, but I'm not happy to be hungry and I

take my hat off to you for managing 4 weeks of fluids and then 4 of

mushies. You must be superhuman! I think I'll use optifast for as

long as possible because that does stave off hunger pangs, but

solids can't come fast enough! Thank you for the pureed mince & fish

idea. I'll be onto that as soon as the dr. confirms I can have

mushies. I promise I will be sip sip sipping (with some Benefibre,

to boot) - I had the worst time of " that " this afternoon (petrified

that I'd burst my band)!!(sorry)

Hugs back to you,

Chriss

need time to adjust to things and to just rest peacefully while you

can. Get plenty of sleep - this way the body heals itself so much

quicker.

different to mine - I was on fluids for 4 weeks and then mushies for

4 weeks so not able to offer much advice on plan of yours except to

say that as you are able to go straight onto a puree diet, to get as

much protein as you can - this does lessen the hunger - and mince

and fish puree rather nicely.

with the hunger.
