I like to cook and kinda hate prefab food

For those who are concerned about portion sizes, you can also freeze things in ice cube trays and then transfer them to freezer bags for storage. That way you have a few spoonfuls of broth or chicken or what have you that is easy to thaw and/or heat up when you need it.

I live alone. My friend drove me home and spent the night. However, I could take care of myself. You to be up and moving around anyway. Just have things on the counter so you don't have to reach or bend over.

Do/did anyone cook and freeze homemade broths, Soups and soft foods for the post-op diet? I'm certain the foods I make would have superior nutrition and I could add unflavored Protein Powder to most any dish. Seems like it would be a thrifty option as well.

This just came to me as I was whipping up some split pea Soup in my electric pressure cooker.

yup. I make the vast majority of my food myself - little to no waste and I control what is in it. before surgery I made up some Bone Broth and froze it in big ice cube trays, then transferred to zip lock bags. I also made some chili and froze it in wee little containers.

even my no sugar applesauce was some that my daughter canned last fall.

now I make my own little frozen dinners in wee augratian pans, freeze them and I always have portion right servings to take to eat on my meal break at work.

Yes! That's my plan. Thank you.

you could also make your own Jello with unflavored Gelatin and Vitamin Water zero, I'd think and it is easy to make your own sugar free puddings and then add Protein Powder to it, plenty of recipes, but I wouldn't make any of those ahead of time, just have what you need on hand.
