So we had a party at grandma's and she had tons of snacks.. yes snacks.. I decided to have some of the chips and grapes on the table.  About an hour later I totally crashed.  I hadnt really eaten anything prior to that so I think the carbs and sugar was just to much for me.  I got real shakey and had to sit down.  Not a good thing.. Needless to say I wont be doing that again. I so rarely vary my food a change like that almost killed me.. hehehe. So here was my day.

And you planned well.. weigh to go... very nice numbers on the day.  I do so much better doing the week.  Weekends are so hard to stay a float.   You made great choices as well.. (I see that candy but one piece is great). Have a good one and I will see you tomorrow Carla

Good Morning Carla!! I am so sorry about the crash :( They super suck. I get them off and on. I have them a lot and then they are gone. I think its likely my body re-adjusting my insulin production. I was severely hyperinsulismatic pre op. I made 4 - 5 times as much insulin as a normal person (and still had diabetes thanks to extreme insulin resistance). So Im not too suprised at my body getting peeved at me about the not eating thing :P I actually deliberately eat a lot of carbs so I dont experience crashes as much as most people do when I eat differently, ie indulge. On the recent cruise with other wls people I had dessert with dinner every night and often with lunch too with no crashes. It was pretty awesome :D Though I felt super bad for those who did crash cause its like the yuckiest thing on earth :( I had a good day yesterday, I went out to eat with my nephew so my lunch is a guestimate, yet again. Out of the house twice in one week??? People will think Ive gotten a life :P Saturday: Lunch: 1/2 cup sweet n sour pork, 3 chicken wings, brocoli (500 cals, 5 fiber, 30 protein) Dinner: 2 ham wraps (500 cals, 7 fiber, 30 protein) Supper: Salad, 2 bars, yogurt (550 cals, 11 fiber, 35 protien) snack: Latte (90 cals, 9 protein) snack: 1 cup ice cream (280 cals, 2 fiber, 8 protein) Totals: 1920 calories, 25 fiber, 112 protein Have a great Sunday :) HUGS PK

I havent had one of those crashes in a long time but I usually dont munch like I did yesterday.. Yikes.. just a reminder that I cant do things like that again. You had a good day.  protein and fiber are up.  How is the potty patrol going.  Hope things are still working in that area. Carla

Yeah, those crashes are what set me thinking about hypoglycemia..Not so sure I have it now but after this whole thing (Celiac and Herpetiformis) blows over maybe I'll look into it. Since they'll make me take a GTT test (and I don't think I can live through that) and the outcome will be what I'm doing anyway..Why?  I now know why the 5 day pouch test works so well. Because I didn't eat on Friday, I couldn't eat on Saturday. BUT...I did come back .6 of a pound. Leaving me the only conclusion: the food in my gut weighs about 2-4 pounds...LOL>  Breakfast: Microwave Cup Muffin, I'm thinking Oat Bran would be good tomorrow. Snack: 1/4 cup of SF Choc Almonds Lunch: chicken tacos including about a cup of taco fixins and two corn tortillas. It took me over an hour to eat these but I did Snack: 1.5 oz bison jerky Dinner: 2 oz chicken breast, 1 oz mozzarella cheese stick and 3/4 of a tomato used as "crackers" to eat the chicken as a spread.. Totals: Calories: 1269 Fat: 62 Carbs: 87 Protein: 99 Better and still coming up. I'll see how much better I can do today. Just how the heck I can add carbs and not whole wheat? sigh..This is gonna take alittle more thought for me. I love a challenge but this is very tiring. And now I have to give all this stuff away that I can't eat anymore. The family sure won't eat Malto Meal or these really cool crackers I got from Trader Joes.

This should be very interesting.  I will be watching to see how that works.  maybe lettuce for bread could work.. I do that all the time.  Racheal Ray uses Portabello mushrooms.. the big ones.. worth a try to see how it goes. Keep on plugging along.. I hope you see soon if this is what the problem is. Carla

Back on track and loving it!!  I use Diet Power software for recording food, exercise, recipes, etc. Here's my Saturday Breakfast:  Oats w/soy protein, low-fat milk, 4 grapes Snack:        Fresh pineapple Lunch:        Wasa hearty rye, Fatfree cream cheese, Avacado, roast beef Snack:         America Pure Protein bar Dinner:       2 oz white wine, Chicken thigh, Brussel sprouts, Mustard greens Desert:       YoCream - frozen fat free no sugar added yogurt Totals:  Cal 1148, Fat: 27.8, Carb 110, Protein 106 Fluids:  Decaf, Water, Crystal lite   118oz I weigh my meals and they are in the 4-6 oz. range.   Funny how getting back on track, back to the basics takes care of soooo many issues. Have a good one    

It surely does. welcome aboard and enjoy sailing with our fleet.  We are a great group all trying to find that place where we can all be healthy and happy.  Good day for you.. u got those basics down..  Carla
