Almost Time

I am back from my Sister's Weekend in NY. Had a blast and now it is time to start concentrating on my surgery. 2-Weeks to go. I am so excited - I can't believe it is almost here.

 

My husband is going to the grocery store tomorrow to pick up some of the full liquid items I am going to need to I can start tasting to see which ones I like. Cream of chicken, cream of brocoli, cream of mushroom will be the first 3 soups I am going to try.

 

I have purchased several different protein mixes and I find when used in conjunction with low fat milk (1%) and put into the blender for a few minutes, they are not so bad. I did purchase an unflavored protein mix from my Surgeon's office, but when I got home and read the label it said it has milk and soy. Being a breast cancer survivor I am not supposed to have soy, but I will see my Oncologist on Friday to see if the soy content is small enough. I really would love to have an unflavored protein to add to soup or to add my own flavoring to, so please keep your fingers crossed that I can use it.

 

Anyone have any good ideas for the pre-surgery diet?:thumbup:

Hello Bklynike

yes I know what it's like perpairing for my suregy. It change my life all for the better. Here is what I did, you need lots of protein as you all ready know, so the best 2 protein drinks I liked was. "Pure Protein- it has 35 grams of protein" "Boost - has 15 grams of protein" I also made my own, 1% milk with so many diffrent types of fruits put into a blender.

"Jell-o sugarfree" When I needed a little something more then liquid I had " Musselman's - no sugar added Lite mixed berry or any of there fruit sause" Soups with low sodium. Am sure you will do just great, and yes I will have my fringers cross for you. Check out my blog I have so many helpful tips and great recipes when you are able to cook and eat again. Am sure you will like some of them. I love to cook and eat. ROCK ON .. LOVE IT!!
