Bypass in 2 weeks ... what should I be buying now to prepare for it and pre-op diet?

Hi



I am due to have my bypass in two weeks. What kind of things should I be buying ready for coming out of hospital so I'm prepared? (such as tablets, pain killers, food?)



Possibly a really stupid question but I haven't had any guidance from the hospital yet .. other than a pre-op diet sheet through the post.



Also, I start the pre-op diet in a few days - the leaflet I got says I can have veg soup once per day (home-made). Can I use stock cubes, seasoning etc? Any great soup recipes? :D



Thanks
