. marvel milk powder or supermarket brand if cheaper
. Bottled water (nicer than tap water) well mine lol
. Skimmed milk... at first i brought long life as you go through a lot
. low fat, low sugar yogurts
. No added sugar squash, vairious flavours so you dont get bored.
. NAS Crusha milk shake mix
. Clear soups ie without bits in... or i you do get them with bits in you can put them through a sieve.

Mini Blender
Small Plastic tubs
Small plates and bowls as these are wa you will be eating off

thats all i can think of for now xx

thanks everyone. how could i be sooo disorganised. i was so focused on getting the op i didnt even think about what i would need when i got home!!!i will have to finish work tomorrow and go mad. shopping, pack hospital bag, pack daughters case for relatives, arghhh i will be very grateful to be going to sleep by the time they put me under! lol xx

i had no idea what i needed until after the op, so hun you are doing really well... but it is nice to be a little bit organised and not have to worry to much after the op...
ooh also what i fund helped.... a cup with a lid... to put your milk in... ie if you go out you can take your milk with you... also a water bottle with a cap lid, so you have squash or water on the go x

Take a pillow for the journey home to hold against your tum. I felt every stone in the road on my way home.

Thanks everyone. You are all like my guardian angels xx

Have plenty of pillows for you to prop around you when you want to sleep in bed, i found they really helped for the first week after the op, i couldnt lay on my side at first so propped myself up with them - a godsend really xx

Bovril was quite nice for a change, especially when you're cold (cause you will be). So some thick jumpers and useful too lol.
