Last night my husband and I went to Kohl's to pick up a couple of things to make my life easier right now.
One was the Ninja Master Prep set. It is not the big set they offer, but it is more than enough for what I need. Now I can puree, chop and liquidify to my heart's content. Protein shakes will be a part of my life from now on. If this machine makes it easier I will be one happy camper. Now I just need to find some recipes that will work in this wonder.
The other thing we picked up was silicone egg poachers. I remember having something like this growing up, but it was a pan. The pans were a little spendy. I am sure if they weren't Calphalon they would have been reasonable, but... With these poachers, you fill a saucepan with 3/4 inch of water, crack the egg into the poacher and set it in the pan with the lid on. In 4-5 minutes you have a perfectly poached egg. Little or no fat involved.
The third thing I want to mention is my Tervis cup, which I did not buy at Kohl's. Paul and Samantha bought it for me before I embarked on this journey. It is an insulated cup that holds a ton of water. It has a lifetime warranty. If I break it they will replace it free of charge. Now this is a deal for me. I can not tell you how many insulated cups I have broken. I should have stock in the insulated cup industry. I would make myself rich. Anyway, I use it all the time!!! I can no longer drink through a straw so this is a perfect cup. If I fill and drink from it three times throughout the day I will have my water intake (plus) for the day.
I have my second post op visit to the doctor today. I finally feel that I can drive to my appointment and not do myself in. We will see anyway. Then tonight is my first support group meeting. I have never been to a support group meeting. It will be nice to meet other people who are going through or have gone through the same thing. Right now everything is kind of by trial and error or from what I have read. I am looking forward to some feedback from others.
