The dietician told me to start out a little slow but keep him well fed on good for him stuff. But to let him have a sweet 1 or 2 times a week. As soon as I can, I plan on getting some new cookbooks and a carb & calorie counter book. Gotta, seems like all I have done today is cook and clean the kitchen, Haven't even had time to sew...that has to change. I'm also planning a big shopping trip to stock the house on things that he can eat.
Thanks for the websites and for helping me.
Hugs, Gail
