My Mom's Gift To Me



Recommended Posts

She really is trying to understand this all and help me with my future food choices. She's worried about my puréed food stage. So, yesterday she gave me an early birthday gift. She bought me a super blender that just grinds up everything. She really wants me to be able to put whatever the family is eating into the blender so I can have 'real' food while on the purée stage.

In my family, food=love. She's trying. Without food, she's lost- so this is her next best way.

Bless her heart. I totally understand this. While my mom would hint to me about dieting and that I need to lose weight, the next hour or so she'd be telling me I need to eat! I swear that I couldn't do this now if my mom lived close by, the holidays will be hard enough:)

It is nice that she is trying. That super blender will come in very handy for you. It's great for making Protein smoothies. I liked to puree bean Soup down to a thick creamy consistency so I could have them during my full liquid phase. Some of the things your family is eating for dinner will puree nicely. I made my family a chicken caserole and threw mine in the food processor and was able to eat it. It wasn't quite as appetizing to me that way, but it had the same flavor, so I lived with it. Enjoy your early birthday present! For your next birthday she will have to buy you new clothes because nothing from this birthday will fit!

I just need to keep her in the loop and educate her as well. If I don't watch out, I may end up with every kitchen gadget known to man!

That's really sweet of her to be trying even though she may not really be sure how to help =)

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
