Hello all. Today is Day-8 Post-Op for me, (yes, yes, I am indeed a newbie to all of this still. Experience thread here - Protein shakes again, haha.

Anyway, I am not a person who likes to spend time preparing meals. If I wasn't on some various diet or meal plan, then I always found myself eating out. I don't like to be in the kitchen. Unless it's to eat the food, lol. So, I decided to pre-prepare everything. While this seems to be rather easy for my Full liquids phase, I think I am going to try and do this for my Puree, Soft, and Full phases as well. If my food is in a 'grab-n-go' format, it's already pre-measured and I am less prone to stray as well.

I got a little plastic bin that fits on a shelve in my fridge. In that bin, I have several 1/2 cup tupperware containers. I spent a whopping 25 mins or so today getting everything ready for the next couple of days. I have my Greek Yogurt, (bless you inventor of Torani SF Syrups), my SF pudding, my Premier Protein, and my Soups, (tip - give your roommate, spouse, s/o the goodies after you strain your Soup. They can put them in a salad so they aren't wasted). I also have two larger containers that have my Malt-o-Meal already measured out, (just add my Water and tsp of margarine in the morning).

I also cleared off a shelve in the pantry just for me. This way I can insure I have the proper stock and can go shopping before I run out of something. Right now it's simply my soups, unsweetened applesauce, Malt-0-Meal and pudding mixes. (I keep my shakes on the floor, and my syrups by my kuerig). I look forward to Day-21 when I can add some cans of Refried Beans to my shelve, mmmmm, yum.

Anyway, just tossing this out there. Dunno if it'll help anyone, but as I said I hate preparing meals, and think this is a good way to stay on track and organized.

Wow, you are so organized, I'm impressed. You are off to a great start.

in the £1/$1 shop/store baby food containers are the perfect size for what we need at the early stages.

I made a bunch of stuff filled these little thing and then wrote on a bag what they were put the bags of little pots in the freeze you could be golden for about 2 months with just 1 day of cooking!

I did something similar. It's much easier to pre-plan & get everything so you don't fall into old habits & just "grab" something quick to eat.

I sense success in your future!

I love what you have done here! Excellent planning!

Great job, love it! Thanks for the tips
