Shopping List - UK



Recommended Posts

Hi all

I am currently in the throws of the two week pre op Diet.

My Surgery is scheduled for the 11th March and was wondering if you had suggestions of what I will need in regards to food for after my op as i am trying to make a little shopping list so that I can have everything ready when I return.

Cheers x

Thanks for this!

Am Living on mueller light at the mo as part of my pre op diet so at least I know i can buy in bulk.

The UCLH pre op diet consists of 4x Weight Watchers Soups and 4 x mules lights ...Could be worse though.

I will send my Husband out with his list :)

My husband made me home made Soups and we froze them in large ice cube trays. That and Protein Drinks were my staple foods once i was on full liquids. Don't buy too far ahead as your tastes may change.

Best wishes for the surgery :)

Atkins shakes, Skyr yogurt, home made pureed Soups eg Cauliflower cheese Soup.< br>
Sweat onion and garlic in butter, add chopped cauliflower and 2 Kallo organic chicken stock cubes in 1 litre Water. Cook until cauliflower soft, then blitz with processor. Optional - melt in grated cheese or cheese triangles for added flavour/protein. x

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
