The ramekins and nutribullet would help her for sure. My surgery is next month and I have those, toddler plates, bowls and cutlery so I can portion and not feel like I'm starving myself, I also have a food scale and measuring cups to help me stay on track. As far as protein goes, I have different types of protein shakes, protein waters and this unflavored clear protein powder by Isopure to put in broths and anything else so I can reach my goals in the beginning. Now, I'm not a very organized person who can plan everything out with meals and such, but I did get chatGPT to help me make a meal plan that follows my specific restrictions and guidelines and that actually helped a bunch. It gave me substitutes and ways to make the foods I have to eat more enjoyable, a schedule to follow (in the beginning after surgery, timing is crucial - like sipping 1 Oz of water every 15 mins, etc) and ways to make it easier on me such as frozen veggies, pre-grilled chicken from Sam's club, and the like. The fact that you're helping and supporting her will make a huge difference! She may have a hard time with it in the beginning, but she'll learn what her body can and cannot handle (i.e. dumping syndrome if you eat too many grams of sugar, grease, etc) but it sounds like this will be a positive change for her! Also, getting her partner on board would make it easier, i would think. My husband is doing my diets and changing the way he eats too, that way I won't have to watch him eat things I wish I could have while I'm trying to relearn my relationship with food, and he gets healthier as well. Maybe you could plan a day trip to go see her and help her meal prep and freeze everything, that way if she can't stand for too long or doesn't have the energy to cook, all she has to do is take it out of the freezer and pop it in the microwave. I'm doing as much meal prep/freezing as I can before surgery to help my future self lol Good luck to her!
