Have you not been given a diet sheet? Most people are only allowed liquid protein such as shakes for two weeks, then 2 weeks purée and the 2 weeks mash. Very small portions. Have you ever had surgery before? Moving house would certainly not be on my agenda because of the pain, tiredness, need to rest and most importantly not damaging your would!!!!! Most WLS is big surgery despite it being keyhole.

Wow Sarah I think you need someone else to help you move as you won’t be able to lift anything heavy for a few weeks. Take care xx

Uhm, if this was a serious post I think you really need to do some research before you have surgery. You will be in no state to move houses after a few days, nor will you be able to have anything other than liquids in the beginning.

Then you will get better advice if you are a bit more elaborate - what surgery are you having, and what stage will you be at? From your post it sounded like you were under the impression that you could eat normal food and seriously were considering lifting boxes. You'd be surprised at how many people come to this forum and seem to believe having gastric surgery is like having their nails done. You say the move will be "a few days" after surgery - just be aware you may not even have been discharged, I was still in hospital at that time.

You won't be 'eating' anything and if you are even out of hospital, you won't be well enough to lift things.

You will be on liquids only for two weeks and depending which op you're having, you'll be in hospital for a few days.

There are plenty of ready made liquids that are fine to have but hopefully they'll tell you a bit more at your appointment.
