Hey the last time I saw a dietitian was when I first started having recurrent kidney stones as a teenager my pediatrician referred me there so I have learned quite a bit about everything that way though she really didn't know much back then of how to help me really but we looked at.over eating healthy things in general. Yes it has been difficult during these times to eat exactly right! Because I have to consider the things that cause my stones then I think kidney disease diet. Everyone looks at me like I'm weird while I'm at work and don't eat much lunch and just move it around on plate. I often what will happen because of me being on potassium citrate for the stones because eventually I know I won't be able to keep my levels in Normal range with taking that. So that is another question id like to ask him next time I go. I believe I did download and went through the stuff you had posted previously when I was first diagnosed with it and was very good and helpful. Sometimes I wish they would just let me have a feeding tube so I wouldn't have to worry about what I eat all the time but I know that's not a realistic request 😂

@tracilynn418, I can relate to the bother of having to come up with meal ideas each day. And for a person who doesn't like to do the same task the same way twice, I paused when some member wrote that she uses a system of some "basic meals" that make up her core diet. I thought that might be boring for me but I did try a few and found it was both a time and "thought" saver. She said eating the same basic meal plan became easy for her. I use two "basic" meal ideas two days a week and that leaves other days to do something more creative.
