Where to learn??

Jun 29, 2014

Am having one of those days when I am not hungry at all. Have had to force myself to take anything in. I had nausea until noon so I spent the morning sipping on my ice water. I have drank a couple of cups broth trying to keep my fluids up. About mid afternoon I ate 150 calories from my liquid diet. It is now 8pm and I cannot get motivated to consume anything else. Only a couple of days into a full liquid diet and could not wait to have a bigger selection to drink besides clear liquids last week. Now I seem to be drinking broth and being satisfied. I have been looking at my bariatric cookbooks more for preparing my pantry for when I enter the pureed/soft food diet in a couple weeks. The only problem is that so many of the items I have been looking at seem to be high in carbs. What is a preferable range amount to keep carbs in? Am still trying to learn what are good carbs and which are bad. Am really concerned with sabotaging my diet by not knowing. I think that is part of why I keep going back to the clear liquids that I know are low in everything and use my supplement that is high in protein and low in everything else. Family is starting to ask questions about foods I can/can't have and how to/how not to prepare food when I visit. Am having trouble answering some of their questions as they are ones I haven't been able to find the answer to myself. If someone knows a good resource for getting answers to some of these questions, I would appreciate the help.
