demonchick 67 Posted April 4, 2016 Difference between the 2 stages kiwi jet is that mushy isn't quite as puréed, but still soft. Does that make sense? I saw my dietician last week, for my week 3 foods (puréed) and week 4 and solids, and they have given me a sheet for each with suggested foods, things to avoid etc. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
demonchick 67 Posted April 4, 2016 Also, I bought a plate online, it's for bariatric sleeve patients, for Portion Control, to make sure I get the right size & balance of what I should be eating on a plate eg mainly Protein, comes with recipes and also a bowl., as I don't always want to measure but the plate has visual aids Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Greatideasinnutrition.net.au I think was the website and make sure you click on the bariatric section, if your interested.

demonchick 67 Posted April 4, 2016 Maybe take some senna to help things get moving. It's probably a lot from your meds. I had surgery the thurs and didn't go to loo until the Sunday, and the first time was hard but after that it was all just liquids as that's all I was having Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
