Happy Monday Everyone,

I worked all night so just getting up. Had a bad night around 9pm I started getting stomach and back spasms that lasted til just before 4 am - so couldn't move or do much. It made for a tough night, after it was over it was full recovery, I sipped some water through the night and at about 6am I tried some crackers and cheese and it was ok - so I lived to tell the story.

Yesterdays Bites:
new soy shake - not to sure - right after stomach pain

1/2 cup oatmeal and 1 slice toast and 1 boiled egg white with a glass of orange juice

1 stick beer sausage and some cheese

1/2 cup rice, sausage and broccoli

6 licorise

tried another protein shake 

banana

10 jelly beans

then the pain started

Hubby brought me a tea, but I was wanting to throw up so nothing was going down.

Vites: all in

Excerites: 20 min dvd - was to hard even for me lol 

Susan

I'm sorry about your back. Does that happen often? 

Aww Susan, that sounds awful and painful. Glad you're feeling a bit better.

Glad you're recovered.

I am experimenting with using heavy whipping cream in my protein coffees again. Milk & 1/2&1/2 are still a no go, but HWC is, so far, ok. I haven't tried it in the a.m. coffee, too afraid of bloating, but p.m. is good. It's delish and sooo good.

I loved organic HWC for my protein coffees, I just wi**** was cheaper to buy. 

Hi Gina,
No muffin today but got so hungry I felt faint and literally hurt. I need something to eat mid morning but don't have many ideas. The cheese today didn't work.
Eat breakfast about 5:30 and lunch around 1. Plus I have to deal with my temperamental stomach. Ideas?

B: shake. Bacon
S: string cheese
L: salad with added bacon, cheese, egg, ham
S: protein bar
D: few bites of steak

V: done
E: work
F: ok

Ideas...jerky, almonds or other kinds of nuts, Laughing Cow Babybel cheese, cup of SF pudding. The protein bar was a good idea too.

Fistulotomy scheduled for Thursday. I always find it harder to track when I am in
anticipation mode. Not to mention the urge to give myself a break and have some carbs
because of the "woe is me" attitude. Luckily that doesn't last.

B-protein shake
S-yogurt and protein chips
L-beef stew
S-Sweet potato chips
D-Beef and gravy
S-2 protein bars

Vites all in.
