Post Op Grocery List
on 1/6/15 9:07 am - Oromocto, Canada
I bought some puree baby food, particularly Turkey and beef. It wasn't as bad as I thought and it was the right consistency. I worried my home food wouldn't be and that I would hurt my new stomach! Also cream soups that you like and consommé soups. Also picked up the protein powder that the dieticians recommended. I added that to my cream soups and yops. I just didn't like the flavour with the meat broths. Yops were good. They don't have lumps so can be drunk in the mixed liquids stage. I could do about one third at a time in the beginning.
I bought lots of cream soups...I added powdered skim milk to it to add some protein. I would also add the powder skim milk to chocolate milk or skim milk to up the protein (I didn't like the taste of protein powder). I couldn't drink another boost after surgery so I bought some alternatives...breakfast essentials, kellogs protein shakes...etc. I also ate alot of plain greek yogurt (lots of protein)..I would mix it up with a few strawberries in my magic bullet and it came really liquified.
