Spending a day in court tomorrow



Recommended Posts

Because of my job I got a subpoena and have to be in court all day. I am just over four weeks out. I'm on soft foods.

I actually got the subpoena a few months back and totally forgot about it.

Now I'm trying to figure out what in the world I can bring into the courthouse to eat. Suggestions would be helpful. I don't eat Protein Bars yet.

individual serving size packets of tuna or salmon

turkey pepperoni

individual serving size packet of Peanut Butter or almond butter

Protein powder + a shaker bottle (you should be able to get bottled Water or milk at the courthouse - most courthouses will have a snack bar type place - also if they do, they should have things like yogurt & cottage cheese for sale. You may want to check with the courthouse in advance and see if they have a snack bar or other place to buy ready to go food, or perhaps even a cafeteria which would likely have food you can eat).

That's gonna be tough. I actually have court tomorrow, too (divorce will be final... YAY!) and I'm struggling to figure out what I'll eat. In our county, no Water bottles or food are allowed in the courthouse at all. They actually search your purse. And there's no snack bar or anything like that in the building, so you can only get something if you leave.

I think I'll pack some of my foods in the car and when we get a break, run out and get something from the car and eat it on the way back in.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
