Hey Grandpa, What's for Supper? Part 2

[ronott1]

A pile of golden, chewy fried pig cheeks, mashed taters, milk gravy, and creamed corn! ***pop*** That dream bubble just burst. It’ll probably be more like half a baked chicken breast, riced cauliflower, and sliced cucumber. <sigh>

It must be hard to eat healthy food all the time!

 

[Blooie]

I’m not even sure it’s that healthy! For instance, cardio diet says whole wheat bread. Kidney diet says white bread. And so it goes....

Did they make you see a nutritionist or do you know the diet well due to your Sister having kidney issues?

 

[Blooie]

I’ve been (admittedly loosely) following the cardio diet since my heart attack. In fact, it was exactly 4 years ago almost to the day that I was in the hospital. Wow! I just realized that! Anyway, all the shopping and making meals for my sister when we were back there gave me a pretty good idea of where I need to be. She also had the cardio/renal diets to follow.

So between that and the links on the“help me” thread I started, plus the nephrologist’s warnings about salts, potassium, and phosphorus, I’m managing. My next appointment is March 5 and that’s when he plans to give me the referral to a dietician.

It sounds like they are taking good care of you!

Okay, change of plans. Inflammation has convinced me to go back to low carb. Tonight I had lemon/pepper trout, green beans, broccoli, and cole slaw - little bit of sugar there I think, but minimal. So starts the journey.

Sorry the inflammation has taken the wind from you sales bud

Hasn't slowed me down a bit, but I am just tired of the hurting. I know how to help it - just have to exert a little will power. Last time I overdid (yeah, I know big surprise) and dropped too much weight. Went from 156 # to 135 # and caught pure heck from my doctor. I am now stabilized at 146 # but have to cut the inflammation. I'll be moderate.
