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

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