Hi

chocolate options mmmm i have every flavour, yoghurts (buy them nearer the time) plain, soup you can strain.

At first its protein - so milky drinks and yoghurts - good luck xxxxxx

Id say the main thing is soups and .................... more soups I wouldnt get too much as your taste can really change post op, things can taste strong or really sweet and something you might like now you could go off after surgery XX

Thanks Christine.

In my cupboard at the moment i have:

Tins of thin soups like ministrone and chicken broth that i can strain off.
Slimfast
Dryed skimmed milk powder
Porridge
Weetabix
Bassetts chewy vitamins and minerals
I got the ones with zinc in too
My team asked me to start taking benefibre so got lots of that in.
I will get plenty of yogurts in before i go into hospital.
I need to buy a blender as well and a sippy cup or sports bottle to sip my water.

Hope this helps for now, ill add as i remember. xxxx




Deflatine for the wind
I got some nas crusher to make a milkshake for when im off food.

I lived on the ski smooth yogurts and concentrated tomato soup, I used to sprinkle a little cheese on it after the first week.

i bought some uber low calorie ice pops today from Asda, incase i fanncy something sweet

 

[dottychic]

I had lots of WW soups and strained them at first.....or put them in the blender and then you still get the goodness. I had cup-a-soups the first few days too which I was happy I did because a few of the ones I liked before Id gone off lol. I was a little wary of trying Tomato soup as a few people dump on it I still havnt had it TBH! XX

 

[christine77]

thanks everyone some great ideas there

what about those little yoghurt drinks like actimel are you allowed those?

 

[dottychic]

Oh Im not sure, I would say its probably best to ask your team as they all have such different opinions. Some patients are allowed yoghurt straight away but I was only allowed clear liquids XX
