Post-Surgery Diet

Hi

Hope all is going well for your dad. I found the advice from the Oespheagal Patients Association really useful.

Eating small amounts of soft foods and focus on high protein and high calorie intake but you need to watch too much sugar.  It was a lot of trial and error! Eating slowly was important and not eating and drinking at the same time in the early days was important!  I bought a small plate and just built up quantities really slowly.  I started with a cupful and then built it up.  It’s hard to know when you have eaten too much so I was really careful at the beginning. Little and often was the maxim!

I wrote a Blog so click on my name or send me a Personal message!  

Do use this group as I found it invaluable!

Good luck!

Thanks very much for the advice and I’ll have a good look at the website!
