Re: not coping

Thanks @Snowie it is so tricky.
the specialist gave the name of the sort of diet to go onsince its based on the high proteins and low carb sort of thing but then i have to sift through and find/replace things with dairy free and low sugar things.

its good to know what it is though rather then worrying what on earth is going on in there.

hopefully over the next few weeks it might start to get abit better even just a little bit but he did say at least 3 months before i start to feel better

Re: not coping

@outlander Although what they have diagnosed is overwhelming hun at least now you have answers and can start to heal. Yes it will be a very big change to your diet and will take some time but at least you have something to aim for. In a few months you can look back and say wow I can't believe just how sick I was thank god I don't feel that way anymore.
sending you hugs my friend. 💙

Re: not coping

Thanks @NatureLover its so overwhelming going through everything 😞
i got to overwhelming looking so just decided to go grab some almond milk to start with. at least i can have that in my tea.

i dont have many snack type stuff so im mostly ok with that. i wont be able to have chocolate or biscuits now though 😞

yeah its quite a shock atm. surgery may be required later for the hernia so im going to keep my hospital insurance as a just in case but it wont be within the yr so i wont have to stress about it.

i need to do grocery shopping tomorrow and im already overwhelmed thinking about it and what i can and cant have

Re: not coping

oh yes its good that i at least know now @Lee82 i think i just need some time to process it. once i find some meals i can have properly, snacks and get use to the new milks etc i will be ok. just have alot of adjusting to do to start with.

at least as time goes on ill learn what i can and cant have so will go back to being a somewhat normal shop.
itll be abit better for pop as well since hes a diabetic but i wont go lactose free for him though just change mostly dinner time.
