any 20+ gals with kids ?
I haven't had my surgery yet but im planning on just doing what i did before i had my son wich is prepare meals that can be frozen and re heated before going to the hospital and make sure you have at least enough for 1 week, i would probably do more because you don't know where you will be at that point. thats all i can think of. hope it helps!!
Hey there,
I prepare food for the rest of my family just the same as always. Now they are eatting things that aren't so commonly cooked right now, being I'm only a few days out. I'm feeling great, and made a beef/veggie soup. I was able to eat the broth, and they had the whole soup and sandwiches. Tonight for example, being from South Louisiana, I couldn't resist but to cook rice and gravy with chicken!! My DH and Son had the whole dinner, and I fixed myself a bowl of gravy and a bowl of water that I boiled the sweet peas in! It was great, a big change from broths, jello, and popsicles!!!! I wanted some flavor that I've been missing. I used to cook rice and gravy probably 3-4 times a week!!!!! I was really missing that flavor. I watch my hubby and son in envy, b/c they can actually chew their foods, but it's only a matter of time before I move up to mushies, and can have textures. Even then, I plan on continuing to cook the same for them, putting my share in the magic bullet and pureeing it for me. I don't want to feel like I'm having to leave everything behind. My star meals, such as rice and gravy are actually cooked really healthy, as opposed to most people I know. I never use grease, jus****er and the natural juices from the meats!!! It won't be as hard as it seams!! I promise!!!

MY EASTER GOAL IS BELOW!
Im doing things like normal, but hubby pointed out that im cooking alot healthier. I felt horrible because the week I was gone in the hospital and the week after it was frozen meals or fast food. And I hated the thought of my baby eating all that fried crap, so I just had to start cooking again. It grossed me out at first, but now im fine. Things still make me gag, but I still gotta cook. Its weird because my 19 month old eats ALOT more than I do during the day.. Its just hard to realize that.
