Shopping for after the op

[Emma7799]

Got my sleeve op in 5 days - mixture of excited and nerves!
Off shopping today for my post op diet (husband can't be trusted in supermarkets lol)
So I have my diet sheet ....... Complan, slim fast, fruit smoothie, soup etc ......
Did you make your own soup or buy? I'm thinking it would be better to make so I know what's in it and then freeze it?
Also thinking about the hospital. I've read the threads that recommend the dry mouth spray (on my list). But question for ladies - did you take pyjamas or do they rub on your incisions?
Ok my mood is turning to panic aswel now!
I have my pre op assessment this afternoon so I'm sure they'll answer some questions.
Thanks for reading - I know I ramble!

Hi Emma, and good luck for your op. I had a bypass, so not sure if it will be similar for you, but pyjamas were comfy, nowhere near my incisions. Didn't need much at all in hospital - maybe some earplugs if in a busy ward!
As for soups, I was told the fresh ones, not tinned or packet. Covent garden, or supermarket own brands are all good, although I would advise not to stock up too much - you tend to go off things very quickly on liquid/mushy stages. I've not eaten soup since - don't think I ever will!

Hiya! Ive just had gastric band surgery and my pjs were fine too, no where near my incisions! I have a mixture of home made soups and bought soups so that i dont get fed up! I made the hairy bikers golden veg soup and a recipe for veg soup i found on a wls surgery website. Hope that helps, x x
