Hi JJ

How exciting, hope tomorrow goes well. Looking forward to hearing an update.

As for a shopping lists, I basically just had weight watchers hearty vegetable broth blended and milky coffees with 2 teaspoons of skimmed milk powder for extra protein. I think some people have no added sugar drinks like orange, but I prefer water. I had the odd no added sugar jelly pot too. Good luck

Does this really work Lynn, do you just add to normal milk drinks or can you add it to other things to boost protein. I had never heard of doing this , however I am old enough to know about Marvel ha ha x

Good luck for tomorrow Glasgow and I hope you managed to get your shopping done x

Oops I should have been clearer about Marvel, most supermarkets will have their own brand of skimmed milk powder. Yes you can add it to soups and milk drinks to up the protein. I used it after my band op.
Good luck, and send that man of your out shopping if need be

 

[BFB]

Ah I've never heard of it. I've just used tesco skimmed milk powder Thanks for clarifying what Marvel was........mystery solved

 

[GlasgowJJ]

Mystery solved ! Shopping note for that left for the hubby

Absolutely terrified now ! Bought some kalms to take the edge off !

Will see you all on the other side - losers bench coming for yah !

Oh, just noticed, it is quite high in sugar Marvel Dried Milk 340G Tin - Groceries - Tesco Groceries Bypassers would have to be careful because of potential dumping.

Oh blimey just checked the tesco milk powder and it's quite high too. It's on my hospital handout to add 4-5 tablespoons to a pint of milk to fortify it. I only add two teaspoons to 200mls (a mugful)for a milky coffee. Been ok so far but I'll have to watch that. Thanks for pointing it out.

We're all shifting up on the losers bench JJ. Deep breaths, you'll be fine xx

Just to say on the subject of the sugar content, it is exactly the same as a pint of skimmed milk. I have 2 milky drinks a day (cup is 300mls) and MFP records 15g sugar for each cup.
