I'm 3 weeks post op and went grocery shopping for the first time today. I'm still on full liquids (4 wks) and my husband is a low carber. It was NO FUN! All we got was meat, veggies, and pea Soup.

Grocery shopping used to be fun...when I loved to eat.

lol! It was easier & faster because I just did this months list. I know it's gonna be hard but I am willing. I seriously hate Best Foods/Hellmann's Olive Oil Dressings. So, is there a different kind thats got a better taste then the BF/H...it's just sooo ick!

There are 5 of us in the house. One of my conumdrums is...How am I suppose to cook for all them (4) and myself if my intake and my food is so limited?

Laura-ven,

Sorry about the double message. Oops...lol!

Thanks Danilax...

good information. I am slowly weening off soda but I just adore the taste and I'm VERY freaked out about Aspertame side effects.

Some people just do low fat mayo... I just happen to like the olive oil Kraft. But really I don't eat much of it. Sometimes just with tuna.

Oh family! Yes that's fun! Well I cook healthier things for them for the most part so they have no choice! But say I'm making chicken burritos,

I boil the chicken then shred and add spices

For their burritos so they get the chicken, rice, etc in their burrito. I have a plate of the chicken and guacamole! Just no tortilla or rice easy!

On Tuesdays sometimes we have pizza (deal night) they eat pizza and I make my own dinner.

Like Shredded roasted chicken on a salad.

So you can pick the protein/veg out of your family's meal or if its really bad do your own thing.

This surgery is an opportunity to cook healthier for the whole family though.

I thought that might be the ticket (Cooking healthier for us all).

Back to the list...Was everything else on the list you didn't mention ok?

Lol, girl I didn't leave you much left in that list!

But potatoes/corn are really not that good just starchy carbs... Meat/ veg/ dairy good things for the most part. You know the best thing is keep it simple. The less ingredients there are when you buy something the better.

Ok I gotta go cook dinner!

For them turkey burgers and corn on the cob,

For me the turkey patty cut up on a bed of shredded cabbage and carrots (coleslaw mix minus the dressing)
