Food

Hi Mac.
When I was in treatment and couldn’t eat much, poached eggs went down easily and so did scrambled eggs mixed up with Philly cheese which made them softer. Tinned fruit like peaches are easy too. 
Sweet potato mash. Long slow cooked lamb stew. Tinned macaroni cheese. Biscuits to dunk in warm tea. Avocado mashed with banana is full of calories and protein. You could try a creamy overcooked cheesy pasta. 
Others will come on with more I’m sure 
Are you taking some mild laxatives. I was prescribed Laxido and two of those a day kept the opiate constipation away completely. 
I hope some of this helps. 

Hi Mac Dani’s pretty much covered the foods I could do as well. Sone times the inside of sn egg custard not the pastry . Double cream in soups for calories. I also used the endures as a tyoe of custard over a piece  of Swiss roll for a sweet taste dunk custard cream ir Jaffa cakes in coffee. . I too took laxido daily to stop the constipation.

eggs were my standby food 

Thanks Dani, I think it is Laxido that I have just started, did the 8 sachets in 6 hours, hopefully I am clear now, and I think the nurse told me to do 2 a day onwards.

How much morph were you taking Dani? I am on 20mg of modified release morphine, plus oramorph usually 3 - 5 ml a few times a day.

Thanks Hazel! 

Hi, 

I found sennokot liquid did the trick with constipation and easy as you only need a couple of spoonfuls.

Food wise, I was on a liquid diet for a couple of months (hospital shakes). I can’t taste much but strangely hazelnut spread in ready brek tastes nice. 

• I bought some shakes called Nourish. They aren’t cheap but full of nutrition. I’ve just started to taste them now, 3 months post treatment. 
  All  the best,

Morphine. Yes about the same as you. Plus paracetamol 

I took a look at the Nourish shakes, way out of reach price wise for me, but now we are getting a juicer!

Thanks.

Hi. I’m in week 16 post treatment. Foods I managed in the early days were -Activia peach/mango yoghurt, the custard & cream top of a mini trifle, very soggy weetabix, creme caramel, mousse type desserts, skyr, tinned peach slices, tiramisu. I could eat a few teaspoons of these foods, took a few weeks to increase the amount. 
Also Scandishakes, the chocolate flavour tastes best. I get these on prescription from GP. 
Hope that helps. 

Thanks, a few more names and ideas!
