Have some good news and bad news guys... Good news first: I had my first full night of pain-free sleep since my surgery and to top it off my kids let me sleep past 9:00 AM!!! (Awesome!!)

Now for the bad news: while I was sleeping my mother and father drive down to visit me and I awoke to the smell of one of my mothers FAMOUS BREAKFASTS!! We are both chef's and my family owns restaurants. UGH!! CURSE YOU CLEAR LIQUIDS!!! Lol that's all.. Rant over.. (As I stay locked in my room until I hear the dishwasher from Breakfast plates)

Lol!!

Thanks now I'm hungry for fried fish! Prolly could oven fry... Just a little cornmeal and seasoning. Anyone know if this is ok?

I was just thinking about cornmeal! You could always use wheat flour.

Fish is pretty much always OK. But I'm not sure about the cornmeal. What are the numbers? I'm thinking that cornmeal is probably better than flour but I'm not sure either one is ideal.

I probably should have skipped reading this post because now I'm craving catfish and sweet potato fries. That would be fine if I weren't on clear liquids too. I guess I'll just have to pretend that the water I'm drinking tastes like food.

Sigh I'm sure you are right. Will have to work on a recipe for this. I want it to still taste authentic but be healthy. I'll let ya know!

Lol I'm learning to not eat until my family is done eating.

As the one who cooks in my home, I understand how you feel! Yesterday I made fried chicken, and had a small bite. Never again! I remember how hard it was to follow the liquid diet when your head is screaming " I'm hungry!" keep your chin up, because it wil get easier, and that's not just lip service!

Forum rules don't allow me to post an Excel spreadsheet and this one has three sheets. I'd be happy to email it to you if you shoot me your email in a PM or post it.
