Definitely buy what you want to make the hospital stay as 'easy' as it can be.

Completely agree, and it CAN be moneysaving! I am still using many of the things I bought for my brain surgery: pink stripey sponge bag, even my pink pyjamas ...

Take a bottle of fruit squash with you to make the drinking water palatable.

Good idea, so easy to get dehydrated. I realised today that since leaving hospital last week I seem to have dropped a dress size. I know that isn't a good sign but I have no appetite so I'm not eating much. Walked round Sainsbury's with my daughter today and there wasn't one thing I fancied. I am on a low fibre diet at the moment so I can't even enjoy breakfast, I normally like Shredded Wheat, well the Aldi version, with an apple chopped up on it and a handful of nuts and skimmed milk, the only bit I can have now is the skimmed milk.

Tonight I had some haddock with new potatoes and peas and I did manage a small portion. I also saw the specialist nurse to follow up on what was done in hospital last week, she was lovely and said I was a perfect patient! Back to hospital next Thursday and she went through all that.

I am OK but just feel so tired so I think it is an early night for me.

Thanks for the support.

Mumps, even on a low fibre diet you should be able to eat eggs. Very nutritious, easy to cook, high protein. We have an egg in some form most breakfast-times.

I did have eggs yesterday and I have a guilty confession, I had a big mug of drinking chocolate with whipped cream, marshmallows and chocolate sprinkles. I keep them for when the grandchildren stay and I think it must have had about a million calories :T Not very healthy but hey if I can't indulge myself now when can I?
