Hi all

I am currently in the throws of the two week pre op Diet.

My Surgery is scheduled for the 11th March and was wondering if you had suggestions of what I will need in regards to food for after my op as i am trying to make a little shopping list so that I can have everything ready when I return.

Cheers x

Thanks for this!

Am Living on mueller light at the mo as part of my pre op diet so at least I know i can buy in bulk.

The UCLH pre op diet consists of 4x Weight Watchers soups and 4 x mules lights ...Could be worse though.

Thank you ...Just want to make sure I can be as prepared as possible

Lip barm also try and empty your bowls before as much as u can ?? when u feel safe try. And get moving about helps with gas and gets the blood flowing only when u feel up to it

My husband made me home made soups and we froze them in large ice cube trays. That and protein drinks were my staple foods once i was on full liquids. Don't buy too far ahead as your tastes may change.

Best wishes for the surgery

Atkins shakes, Skyr yogurt, home made pureed soups eg Cauliflower Cheese Soup.

Sweat onion and garlic in butter, add chopped cauliflower and 2 Kallo organic chicken stock cubes in 1 litre water. Cook until cauliflower soft, then blitz with processor. Optional - melt in grated cheese or cheese triangles for added flavour/protein. x

Im eating arla protien pots. I get them in asda on the yoghurt isle. 140 cals and 20g protien!

Oh also laughing cow lightest 20 cals per triangle
