I Commend Those With Families To Care For



Recommended Posts

I was sleeved on 4/11. My children and grandchildren live in another state. I have had my 3 eight year old grandsons visiting all week. I never realized how hard it is to stay on schedule with Vitamins & Protein with others to tend to. These very active boys eat constantly & it is mostly junk. In the past I would have eaten every time they did. I have managed to eat my healthy portions of healthy food but I admit it has been hard!! I am in awe of those of you with families to cook for & shop for. I dont know how you do it on a daily basis.

I just posted something about that on a reply that I made on another blog. I am on wk 2 post-op and it has been sooo hard b/c I have a husband and a 13 yr old daughter and grandchildren that visit regularly. I make dinner every night. My family eats ice cream every night. and I'm on full liquid diet this week. I know this will pass but dang it's hard :wacko:

I have three small kids ages 6, almost 4 and 2.5. My husband is gone during the week for work and I just had my surgery last Monday. Luckily, I've had energy to at least mostly care for them all...

I have been giving my kids white meat nuggets, all natural fish sticks, things like that with cut up fruits and veggies on the side: no junk food, no chips. I give them whole grain goldfish once in a while. My hubby decided to start a juice fast for the two weeks that I'm on my liquid diet and then he's going to break it while I'm in the hospital with a salad. I am so blessed.

As for cooking for my kids, it bothered me the first few days that I was on pre-op but these last days have been fine. I'm looking forward to when I can eat what they eat and cook them some REAL (healthy) food!

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
