I'm getting re-approved for surgery using Dr. Balette in Houston after being initially approved in August and the week-before preop blood work discovering I was pregnant (I had no clue). That was an interesting phonecall from the doc!!! A little background, I lost my 16 month son to a rare aggressive brain cancer within 8 weeks of his diagnosis and decided to have surgery to become more healthy for my surviving 5 year old son. This discovered pregnancy was both a surprise and blessing....I had my new son (3rd) in March and am preparing mentally for surgery again, soon, as I've met my out of pocket w this pregnancy and so the surgery will be at no cost. I am remarkable at surgeries and pain, having 3 csections and never having taken pain meds and up walking within 4-6 hours with all so they are comfortable w surgery sometime this summer. What creative foods have you found helpful? This came up as I was looking for cal count for a new salad at Panera Bread and seeing a black bean Soup for 140 cals. My first thought was "that would purée nicely and taste savory..." Looking for other ideas! I'm new to the board! Working beyond grief for a better life!
