What's on your Wednesday Menu?

I used to, but not anymore. I had some stomach problems with them the first few months post-op (esp Thiamin), but I haven't in a long time. I usually take my morning vitamins in the middle of the night if I get up to go to the bathroom (which is most nights...). Then I take my pantaprozole (Protonix) when I get up for good, since I don't want to take it at the same time as my vitamins (it's a PPI, and I think some of those vits need a little acid to dissolve/absorb). On nights I don't get up, I just take the vits as soon as I get out of bed, and the pantaprazole about an hour later.

Since surgery my stomach is much less sensitive. I don't need to food with vitamins, antibiotics, iron although I very much did before.

Proferrin was the only vitamin that upset my stomach, but I have switched to a sublingual for Iron and it doesn't bother me at all anymore.

Hi Janet. I can actually take my vitamin and calcium on an empty stomach. Not the same story for my iron/Vitamin C. I actually take them to bed with me and take them right before my head hits the pillow. The make me super nauseous if I take them any other way.

I always take my vits right before I eat.

hi all

things food wise are good for me but scale is NOT budging. I've stayed within my points and not used my workout points or the extras and still not dropping. My trainers wife is coaching me this week and man she is TOUGH. 30 min HIT with crossfit style flipping tires, etc. I was dying yesterday but it will be worth it. my body is rebelling..

have calls this morning then regular work the rest of the day.

s: built bar maybe

d: shrimp maybe

s: unsure

I am gutted to cancel Thanksgiving--it's such an important holiday in our family, but it has to happen. I am not even sure if I will invite my parents. I might, but my mom needs to get better about staying in before I see her again--she's always masked and careful but she does so much shopping and eating out and socializing. I have had to have "the talk" with her a few times, lol. But really--I don't want your second hand germs, TYVM!

I finally slept like the dead after two sleepless nights. I often have insomnia when I travel but it was horrible in Myrtle Beach - barely an hour. So now I'm having a tough time waking up fully. I'm a bit cranky.

We took a carriage tour in Charleston yesterday, but the guy stunk. No history but lots of self-advertising for his book. I had been here previously and it was much better. Today it is on to Hilton Head to meet up with friends who have a place there.

QOTD: No shopping done but I never do until around Thanksgiving and I mostly online shop. I am at a loss as to what I will get for Mike though!

Might want to start your online shopping early this year--deliveries are supposed to be super slammed since everyone will be out of malls and almost exclusively shopping online!

Good point!
