Hi good luck, I bought in cup soups without bits or strained them, slimfast that is nice if left in the freezer for a short time till really cold (pre made up ones) or if making up yourself then use loads of ice, fresh orange without the bits, yogurts without the bits. custard.
For mushy I bought fresh soups & blitzed, creamed rice, mash with gravy or low cheese.

Please don't plan you intake too far ahead - your tastes will change and what you think you might like today may well repulse you post op. Also your body may reject certain foods for whatever reason (we are all different) I would hate to think of you wasting food and money . . . xx

Thanks guys that answered my question at the same time, great advice have a few things in the freezer simple soups and a few ready meals that are easy to blitz to a more gloopy consistency but they can be eaten by the troops if I hate it post op. Got some new icecube trays that are just for my stuff so I don't use the others we have that the troops may want for icecubes if the sun ever comes back. Also some little containers for lunches once I go back to work so I don't try to eat more than I can take in to start with. Protein shake samples ordered ready to test out before I buy a big pot and waste my money on one I hate.
