So ladies and gentlemen, I have thought of a pretty good idea. I went to the store (Target) but also you can go to the grocery store or Walmart. I bought:

a binder

page protectors

dividers

highlighters

colored pens

one folder

I sat for two hours on my computer and looked up recipes for all different stages of our post-op diet. I separated all the different diet recipes that I liked. And also separated them into Breakfast, lunch, dinner, Desserts, and drinks. This makes it easier for quick reference to make meals. Also it is easier to plan a week's worth of meals. And also for food shopping!

I put all my important paperwork gathered so far from all my doctors and specialists regarding the surgery into a folder. Lists of food groups and nutritional information from my nutritionists, I put in page protecters and put them in the front of the binder for easy reference. I also put loose leaf paper in the back to write things down if necessary. I plan to make a to-do list before and after surgery and a to-read list as well for good books to read regarding our surgery.

Everything is in one place, clean, and organized just the way I like it. Hope this helps all of you busy bees!

great idea! I am a list and task freak lol so this is right up my alley! I can't believe I haven't thought of it!! Thanks for posting though =) My surgery is the 29th so I have this weekend to work on it Woo Hoo!

Great idea!! While the full liquid phase is limiting for me I can't wait to " try" some recipes for the purée phase! Will def help to have everything in one spot. Thanks!

I started doing something similar, just not as in depth as you. But hell... That seems like a better idea. Thanks! Lol

Genius!
