What's on your (PHOTO FRIDAY) Menu, RNYers?
Good morning!
I have been stressed over the last week because I want to take my dog in to get looked at because she's had a skin issue and constantly licks but no vet is open for me to take her in. Now that we've been home, I am seeing everything that needs to be done and it gives me anxiety.
Having a plan (for the most part) helps but I still find myself going to the fridge out of boredom.
Breakfast: 2 Eggs with 1/4 cup shredded cheese
Lunch: Folio Wrap with 2 slices Ham, 1/2 cup Cucumber, 1 TBS mayo, 1 slice of Medium Cheddar cheese
Dinner: Edamame spaghetti noodles with meat sauce (Tomato sauce, Ground Turkey, Onions, Garlic, spices)
Snacks: String Cheese, Protein Shake and 2 Thin Mints
QOTD: I miss some clothes, but, I have found some alternative outfits that fit the bill.
JB -
I forgot to tell you that my GERD came back about two years post-sugery (it was so wonderful having those two years without it!!). They put me on prescription Zantac which did pretty much nothing, and then once bad things started coming out about it I stopped taking it and just ate Tums and Rolaids and ginger things and licorice tablets and pretty much ANYTHING I thought might help. A little - but not really. Then I had some tests run by an endocrinologist who's working on my osteoporosis issue, and she discovered I had mild hypercalcimia, so she told me to lay off the Tums. So now I'm on another PPI - Protonix (pantoprazole), which, according to my PCP, is the safest of the prescription PPI's. It's been three or four months, and so far so good. If I have Tums at all (and most days I don't), it's like three or four of them - as opposed to the 20 or 30 a day I was taking before.
I know a lot of those meds aren't particularly good for you, but if your GERD becomes chronic, it's better than risking something like Barrett's esophagus (or at least that was my thinking...)
