What are you eating/doing today? (Monday)

Morning all :)

Early start today - my sleepover buddy has to get up at 5:15 for work, I never get back to sleep after that. Oh well, lots to do this morning before my meeting (here) with the insurance health specialist. Not stressing about it anymore. Car shopping (online for now to get an idea of what's out there and what I might want) continues - anyone who has a good suggestion, I am wide open to ideas! Last minute "touch up" around the house, a couple loads of laundry, Andrew is coming for dinner/cards.

Good morning.  Sounds like you have a very full and busy day Karen.  This morning I am off to do Aqua Cardio.  This will be the first time anyone has seen me in a bathing suit in decades, oh the horror.  Hopefully I can get through a class.  Then it's home get cleaned up and off to Collingwood with a friend and hubby. I will take lots of snacks as I don't know when and if we will be eating there.

Wear that suit with pride! No one is going to be looking, they'll all be just as concerned about their own. lol Have fun!

Good morning all

Little sore this morning after weeding yesterday. Worst part is there is a lot more to do. I think I will tackle my daughters old room. It still has bins in it she has left behind. My SIL is staying Thursday night so would like to make it a little better looking.

My bil wanted a pie for his birthday on Thursday. Last time I make pastry it did not turn out well. So I tried a new recipe yesterday. I made raspberry and butter tarts. Of course I had to try some. I had a small amount of a butter tart. Boy did I react to it. It takes a while but I get the shakes and racing heart. I think this is more RH than dumping. Either way I know better than to eat this crap. On the plus side the pastry was great.

b greek yogurt, granola, raspberries

l ham slice, cheese, tomato roll up. carrots and hummus

s baby bel

d chicken with peach, cabbage salad, tomatoes with balsalmic reduction

You are most welcome. Enjoy!

pureed stage post op

Last night I had a very strong craving for potato chips.  Am I a freak to be having cravings 10 days after surgery?  I stayed strong and did not buy any and bought all good puree stuff instead, including roasted garlic hummus, which was delicious btw.  I felt really sorry for myself because I though I would at least have some period of time where I craved nothing.  Watched outlander last night - Jamie fraser is hot!

b:  premier protein shake with banana, sf cocoa powder, and almond extract, multivitamin

s: diluted grape juice or protein coffee

l:  pureed meatball and potato bean mash, calcium

s: protein pudding, calcium

d: meatballs and potato bean mash

s: tea, sf grape Dasani, possibly some hummus

You may just be craving salt. Fine something better for you that has the crunch and salt

Salt is no problem, I can just add more to my food, it is the crunchiness that is hard at the pureed stage. Maybe I will try biting a freezie to get that crunch in, its what I did on opti.  Thanks!
