Tonya,

Is the diet working for your daughter? We are not doing it but I've read
that its most effective for age 10 and under. That is fabulous if its
working for her!

If drug #2 doesn't work for our 8 yr. old than I will insist on the diet.
Our healthcare plan offers it.

My daughter is almost 15 and has been on the diet for 6 months now. I try
to make her meals as much like ours as I can. In Ohio . . . that means
gravy. It is a little tricky, but once you get it figured out it is easy.
If you have a chicken, vegetable, butter and cream. You can make chicken in
mushroom gravy or pork chops and gravy. You cook the chicken first. Then
fry the chicken and mushroom in the butter. When it gets boiling a bit you
ad the cream and stir for just a minute or so . . .an wala you have gravy.
The same thing works for sausage and gravy. (Brits recipes generally have
butter and oil . . .but it works the same)

Our dietician also gave us a pizza recipe with egg whites, spaghetti sauce,
pepperoni, cheese, cream and oil. My daughter ads her "free olives"
sometimes to have a deluxe pizza as she calls it. Brit can have 15 gr. of
free lettuce which helps to make her feel more full. We use the lettuce to
make turkey or chicken wraps. We also have a salami and cream cheese and a
bologona and mustard recipe. They work great for school lunch boxes!!

Have his parents keep talking to the dietician. Most are pretty good about
wanting to make the food so the kids don't totally dislike it.

There is also a program on the internet that helps you calculate meals.
Hospitals don't like you to use it, but I use it and then give it to our
dietician to check and adjust the meals to her liking.


Good luck . . the diet is hard work, but definitely rewarding when it
orks! - Tonya
