Hi guys!  Got my annual labs back and the hospital just didn't do my CMP, so now I have to get re-drawn and wait to find out my protien levels.  Grrr!  But my pre-albumin came back at 30.1 (17-34) so I'm guessing my protein and albumin will be well within normal range :)  Got my D up to 63 (38 pre-op).  My ferritin is 134 and iron 79.  And all my vitamins are the mid-normal range (except for some high B vitamin levels).  So I'm pretty happy with that.  But I don't take nearly as many supplements as some people, I don't get 100g of protein, and I don't take any iron besides what's in my multi.  So I must be a super-absorber.  That's probably why I can drink milk and eat carbs.  Double-edged sword I suppose  *sigh*.

B1- 1/2 can tuna mixed with mayo and relish. 4 Ritz crackers

S- 4 cheese cubes, sm handful of cashews

B2- 3 sausage links, glass of whole milk

S-zone protien bar

L- cheddar brat (no bun), pickle spear dipped in ranch

D- Toppings from 2 slices of pepperoni pizza dipped in ranch, few bites of crust (trying to be good!) 

 

Double-edged sword sounds like a good analogy. Be careful.

Yep I know exactly what you mean Gina.  I pretty much knew with my labs every 3 months that I was absorbing much more than most DSers.  And I lack the ill-effects from carbs that most people have.  But I know I don't absorb much fat...I'm sure you can guess HOW I know this lol.  I just need to get out of this 'good one day, bad the next day' cycle I've been in.  I also think exercise will really help.  I'm young and healthy and have no excuse not to be exercising consistently.  

Yay TGINF - we've nearly made it to the holidays too, I get the 25th and the 26th off yippee!! 

B Decaff protein coffee	30
S Greek yogurt	20
L Beef casserole	30
S Cheese	10
D Chicken pie (with a burnt crust again!! ;-))	30
Protein:	120
F 72+
V Yep: inc 6 calcium batches, 2 zinc batches + bedtime iron, copper, vit C & strontium batches pending

 

Good for you!  I'm still trying to figure out what days to take off. I sure need a few but which ones?

Ah! More burnt crust. lol

 

My intention is to not eat the crust so it doesn't bother me. Not so sure about the hubs though ;-) The 26th is a public holiday in the UK .

Hi Gina,
