I cooked for four days more or less, today at home, 3 on the bridge.
A meatloaf with lots of additional ingredients to make it last 4 days, and cabbage with cream cheese to last me 2 days. I'll likely have a salad or tomatos with mozzarella with my meat loaf for the second 2 days.

Thanks for all your good wishes everyone. It’s good to know the lack of gallbladder hasn’t affected your diet @Antje77
Today couldn’t face hospital breakfast, had 1/2 a ginger biscuit which helped a little with nausea.
At home lunchtime- a slice of L/c toast and marmite.
Still craving salt a couple of hours later so a chicken stock cube in hot water.
Dinner was 1/2 a ham and tomato sandwich in L/c bread. Followed by a spoon of Fage 0% fat yoghurt and blueberries.
Paracetamol at intervals during the day.

Welcome! You will find lots of good meal ideas and tips here. I find that anything with barbecue sauce tends to be quite sweet and too carb heavy for me. It would definitely be worth looking at the label to check.

Breakfast- a bowl of h/m bone broth with an egg poached in it.
L- small plate of M&S tapas 3 for £8 range, few rollitos, turmeric cauliflower and marinated anchovies. Has anyone tried these anchovies? They are super - not fishy at all, marinated in white wine vinegar, and just 0.6g carb/100g
Dinner - ‘Southern fried’ chicken ( made with pork panko mixed with spices and herbs and oven baked) steamed tenderstem broccoli

Yesterday's fast seems to have helped my gut issues ( as well as coming off the med that was causing it!) So decided on a more nutritional approach today but with smallish portions.
Breakfast kefir then a new granola -it seems good as no sweetener at all as was adding a berry to my portion. Going to look at making a granola myself when have eaten this as it's just a few ingredients and 3g of carb per potion. For milk I tried a no sugar Almond milk which has 0g of carbs and really enjoyed it.

Lunch used my home grown radish thinings as a lovely salad with smoked trout and seeds dressed with a dressing of Apple cider vinegar and olive oil. Followed by one strawberry and spoon of yoghurt

Dinner gammon served with local asparagus followed by small piece of hm LC rhubarb, lemon and ginger cake.

I fry the mushrooms first, remove them from the pan, make the omelette then when it’s nearly cooked I add back the mushrooms with the cheese.
