Hi my name is Gary , Since last November/December I started to lose weight quite drastically .I got admitted to hospital in March at which point I had lost just over 4 stone in weight .Even though I was eating and drinking I was dehydrated and well underweight . I was diagnosed with various problems relating to the digestive system , one of was the problem with swallowing of solid foods .
At the current moment I am on a soft food diet and food supplements one of is the Ensure Plus milkshake [350 calorie] .
My Current In take in Calories is between 3500-5000 , may sound a lot , most of which is consumed every 2-3 hours in small portions ,mashed or liquidised .Any solid food has to be well cooked and cut up very finely .
I would like to get advice on foods and recipes that would match my diet .
My goal would be to gain the weight I lost and get my fitness back , at the moment 0.5 miles is a effort .
