Barb, I hope you still get to golf when you get here, been raining through the night.

Eats will still be very light today. Not liking this BRAT diet at all.... I will do it again today and see if it helps.

Be well everyone

Tanya

Hope you're feeling better soon Tanya.  I still love chicken soup when unwell.

I have to show up regardless of rain - its a team event.  Will play thru rain - just not lightning.  I checked the hourly forecast and it looks good - but what do they know eh?

Tanya, sorry to hear you're still not well! You must be feeling very drained with all of this. I hope today is a better day for you!

Good morning everyone.  Barb enjoy your golf and football game and the beer.  Tanya I would hate the BRAT diet, hoping you get well soon.

Today it's swimming (yesterday they put Latin music on at the pool and I tried to do my own Zumba in the pool.  Everyone else did the regular exercises, haha) a Zumba class this evening, get an xray, errands and general household drudgery.

Morning all :)

Go.... Ti-Cats...? ;)  Enjoy your day of golf, nice cooler day for it!

Off to work for the day, have an errand to run at lunch, have to hit Costco on the way home (I'm sort of dreading this today!), hopefully an early night. I've been up every night this week with foot/shin cramps and I am so done with this. Going to try taking my potassium at dinner instead of breakfast and see if that makes a difference. Grrrr.

9.5 years post-op

- coffee with cream x 3 over the day -

B - GNC Total Lean (banana)

S - Source Greek (strawberry), a few green grapes (god these are good this year)

L - leftover dinner - BBQ steak sliced thin with sautéed onions/peppers/mushrooms

S - not sure that I'll need one, bringing a muffin-tin crustless quiche

D - 4 oz rotisserie chicken (thank you Costco), approx. 1/2 cup sweet kale salad

S - not sure yet, likely just coffee/tea

Happy Friday Junior!

Hey Karen,

For your leg/foot cramps, you might also want to try a magnesium supplement in addition to the potassium.  I was having wicked thigh cramps (I mean, real screamers!), and magnesium was suggested to me by my personal trainer.  Also had a chance to talk to my clinic about it, and they thought it was a good idea (and might actually counterbalance some of the side-effects of the additional iron I was taking...bathroom-wise!)  After being on it, cramping is almost completely gone -- only time I've had it since is when I was a bit dehydrated following one of the scorching hot days that we recently had.

Just a thought.

Very good suggestion, thank you. Can't hurt to try it.
