I hope you are recovering well, and that you feel much better and more energetic soon.
In the meantime, I second the suggestion of the Cook meals. They're really nice, flavourful, well-prepared, relatively healthy depending on what you get, not at all like other frozen food, and there's a huge variety. My husband and I find the portions slightly small (and they aren't super-cheap, although they are very good value for the money). We often add an extra can of chickpeas or other beans to some of them, to stretch them out a bit. Just empty the defrosted meal into a saucepan, add the beans and simmer for 20min with a little extra liquid. The coq au vin with white beans works well, as do all the tagines with chickpeas. With a bit of rice or pasta you're set. From the website it looks like they deliver. The organic store on Balham High Road has a large selection, too.
All the best.
