What are you eating/doing this Wednesday?

My one year old niece had the same issue after she was born, it took a few weeks before she started gaining weight really steadily (she's in perfect health now with a hearty appetite). I know my sister was very glad to have gone through a midwife, since they are so supportive of breastfeeding and good at figuring out strategies for these kinds of things.

Yes, that's what I'm finding with the midwife. We are getting really good care. Because I was transferred to OB care during the pregnancy the midwives decided they would still offer baby aftercare to us since they knew we were upset about losing them for the pregnancy care.

That's great. It always helps when you feel good about the care you're receiving.

I love your QOTD answers.

I'm pre-surgery

Breakfast - overnight oats (chia seeds, soy milk, berries), few sips of coffee by accident, 1 banana

Lunch - chicken + steamed veggies (brocolli, cauliflower, carrots) ... also pack some bbq sauce (but realized sugar content) :o

Dinner - don't know yet

Snacks - packed eggs, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, hummus

I love chia seeds, they're so tasty! In a couple of weeks I'll be cleared for seeds, and I'm looking forward to adding them to my protein shakes again.

You should be OK to drink decaf coffee. If you are a coffee drinker now would be a good time to start decaf. Your menu looks good for pre-op. Good catch on the BBQ sauce. The lower your carbs now, the less your side effects when you start OPTI.

Hello folks - hope all is well.

I am in the process of moving our offices in Waterloo and Vancouver so been bouncing in and out of the site.

Sticking to the menu with dense proteins, and staying hydrated it priority right now.

The perfect part is I'm am super active so getting my steps and activity in .

Be blessed all, and ill be back in the swing and posting up a storm soon again.

Take care

That must be very hectic, but as you say, great for getting in activity. Your menus and progress are a real inspiration, corriev. Hope the moves are going smoothly and that you'll get some R&R time when it's all done.

Corrie you are in Waterloo? We should meet up for coffee.
