### 07/19 What Did Ya Eat Today?

Well last night wasn't so great--- I had to rush and get ready, and for dinner I had about 4 Tortilla chips with some fresh homemade guacamole (Avacado, Onion, Tomato & Lime Juice) and a handful of lite ruffles *sigh*..... so not a very good day yesterday at all! I was out all evening, but didnt eat any cookies, or caramel apples that sat in front of me all evening... so it could be worse! Tonight we have an appointment in town at 7pm, so we arent going home--- we have time to kill after work and will have to find somewhere to eat, not sure what yet... Breakfast: About 2/3 of an egg scrambled with diced onion, ham, pastrami & a little cheese. Snack: 1oz of Lite Ruffles (70 Calories) and a Pepper Jack String Cheese Lunch: 2oz black beans w/ approx 2oz chicken, salsa, cheese & sour cream. Snack: 4oz Yogurt & 4 apple slices Dinner: Unknown, will update tomorrow Have done my B-12 & both multi vitamins.... am up to 61oz of water! YAY

For today: Breakfast: 1 package regular instant oatmeal (I was remembering that pre-surgery I needed four packets to fill me up! ) and one sliced banana Lunch: 1 piece of spiniach and chicken quiche and 1 cup cut up watermelon Dinner: 1 cup of 93% lean ground beef in marinara sauce and 1 tortillia with cheese rolled up and melted in the microwave Snack: 1 NSA Fudgsicle Water - 50 ounces and more on the way Vitamins: 1 Women's Multivitamin, 500 mcg B12, 65 mg Ferro Sequels (Iron), 500 mg Vitamin C, 1200 mg Calcium Citrate, 2 Actigall and 1 prescription Vitamin D Whew, that's a lot of vitamins! I'll be glad when I no longer have to take the Actigall twice each day. That will eliminate two pills! The Vitamin D is only for three weeks and will hopefully correct my deficiency. Time for bed soon! - Stephanie

how and why did you get off of actigall????? danni

Hi Danni. The Actigall is the generic form (I think that's what they told me) of Ursodiol which was prescribed for the first six months after surgery to prevent gallstones while I lose weight rapidly. I take one capsule twice a day until they are gone.
