Anything that can be blitzed once thawed & is high in protein so probably a pan of stew will do 10 meals, veg soup with egg noodles, cottage pie, fish pie that kind of thing but I need to read my book, Return to Slender to get more ideas & these will only be for when I am on mushies but it will make me feel that I am getting somewhere by cooking up a storm. Any other idea's gratefully received xx
 
Funny i have started to lol!
So far sorted nighties to fit me.
Potatoe ricer to make ultra smooth mash.
Small pots to freeze small amounts of foods.
So a start :)
 
I have bought slim fast and that is stocked up in my cupboard. I will also be buying fruit smoothies, I have some weight watchers soups and some low fat hot choc and some Horkicks. Already plenty of Oxo's in the cupboard if I want a beefy drink and plenty of sugar free jellys to have as a drink too. Not started to cook and freeze anything yet, but have bought some small freezer pots ready for this. :D

Thanks Neeta very helpful :) you drink the jelly? lol
are smoothies high in protein? and fruit has lots of sugar dont it? what else is high in protein?
 
you could also buy pouring yoghurt which would be easy to drink or ordinary yogs - low fat of course. I was told that I could have fruit smoothies in the leaflet from the hospital. Hopefully the dietician will be round to see me before I go home, so will check with her and then send hubby on a shopping trip. :D

I think that warm sugar free jelly would be quite nice. :p xx
 
Tins of Irish stew 59p home and bargain
Weightwatchers frozen mash-nice little portions
Asda 50 frozen spring water ice pops dead cheap
tinned minced beef or lamb
Low fat custard
Sugar free jelly
Ready made pots sf jelly
apple sauce
nas squash
Loads of lentil soup tinned or homemade

Caren, buy the book, Return to Slender. It really is enlightening & written by a woman who has had the op & lost stones & stones. She is also a food critic & knows all about nutrition. If you have your op before me I could post you my copy & you could send it back to me after ... :D:D xx
