Oh my gosh Barb, I hope you're doing okay! That sounds like a crazy injury. Hope you feel better soon!

I made a mistake by having cereal this morning. I cannot eat it slowly. I cannot stand soggy cereal unless it is shredded wheat or bran buds. Once I entered it in my journal I also found out it has a lot of carbs. I may use the rest of the box by sprinkling some on yogurt. I won't be having bowls of cereal anytime soon. My husband does a lot of the grocery shopping so I don't want to sound ungrateful since I asked for 'some kind of Bran cereal'.

So I know my carbs are way too high, but here is my menu for today:

B-All Bran cereal ¾ c of 1% milk - you will never see this again!!

S- turkey pepperette,  1 babybel light

Lunch –oceans tuna snack

S- iogo greek yogurt (with Blueberries) w/protein powder

Dinner  -beef stew

FITNESS PAL Calories  858 Carbs  96   Fat 19  Protein  86

I have an open house today, should be interesting to see if I can even get there! I am done with the snow.

 

Cereal makes me dump.....but I used to use bran sprinkled on my yogurt for some density and fibre......Fibre One has very low sugar....( doesnt taste as good as bran buds either)

I may try Fibre One, thanks for the tip..

Okay maybe tmi but oh boy....

I got to my open house and about 2:30 I had earth moving cramps....I NEVER use the washroom at a Clients but this was unavoidable...

I locked the house door and went to the washroom...oh Lordie.

Can you consider it dumping if it's 7 hours after? I don't think so...but it sure reset my insides!!

Sorry to hear about your injury birdiegirl :0(   How long does that take to heal?  Do the narcotic painkillers work well?  I hope you heal up fast and feel better soon.  One thing I have heard is good for healing of any kind is rooibos tea.  It tastes great and may be a nice instead of decaf coffee as it has zero caffeine.  Best of luck to you...

 

And now for my eats:

Please note: I am pre-op 

 

B - low carb toast with peanut butter and some banana slices

S-  Big pot of Rooibos tea

L- low carb toast with peanut butter and some banana slices (have to use up banana)

S- Rooibos tea

D- Indian Food, probably some kind of spicy curry (going out with friends)

 

I have been practicing mindful eating but I am having trouble with the eating it in small bites part.  I keep forgetting and just eating normal bites.  I will be practicing this today.

Have an excellent day everyone...

Thanks Zizzler...6 weeks as with most broken bones.....but I am hoping to resume my activities in a week....

 

You are practicing great habits for post surgery......planning.....good for you

I love rooibos tea too.......thanks for the tip
