Challenge...NOT for everyone!
Hi Patrece, Amalia, and all.
I had a very good food day. 90 grams of protein and 817 calories.Doing great with lowering carbs and starting to feel much better. Ellen made a wonderful chicken salad, cottage cheese and 6 red raspberries. perfect. My surgery wants me to stick with 1 or 2 protein shakes per day so that's what I'll do. Active with mild pain in knees and legs. Didn't use the walker once today. Dizziness at a minimum. Things are looking up!!!!. Mag

Reporting for Saturday.
A good day overall. Usual breakfast (coffee, pills, egg, ham, cheese) NO BREAD! Lunch was some of yesterday's lamb and that's all. Saving carbs for dinner out.
Evening was mostly a bust. Tried to go to movie but the theater we chose had wheelchair space only in the front. I offered to try to climb a few steps further back, but hubby didn't want to carry the chair up. Instead we went for coffee - good thing they had sugar substitute. Afterwards we were off to dinner, a little early by Greek standards (around 8pm) but not too bad. It was a rare (for Greece) middle Eastern restaurant and I admit, I did have 1/2 a piece of hot pita bread with their yogurt dip. It was TDF!!
I ordered some kind of lamb shish kebob with yogurt and arabic pita bread, and for starters there was a chicken-walnut salad and a green parsley salad with lemon.
I ate a few bites of the parsley, a couple of bites of the chicken salad and of course, I was too full for the shish kebob. When it came, I took one bite of the meat and asked them to put the rest in a package for home. They complied happily and we went home.
Of course, DB came in the middle of the night, found the shish kebob and polished it off!! LOL
Weighed in this morning and I'm 1/2 a kg down!!
I'm having trouble with my eyes - seeing double, it's an MS thing- so posting will become very difficult for a while, although I'll certainly TRY.
Take care,
Amalia

Hi Patrece and all BBs,
Ellen and I had a rough night. She became ill with temp, chills, and said it hurt terribly when she coughed. I stayed up with her until the birds were singing this AM. Keep giving here hot tea to warm her. Today she has had toast also. Now she said she has a horrid headache. Our kitty, Bela, has not left her side except to eat. Then right back to her side. Animals just seem to know when somethings not right,
Today has been a total bust. I've had 2 glasses of water and morning pills. Then ate some peanuts because they were handy. Of course, neither Ellen and I have one bit of energy. Eating is the last thing on my mind. Going to try a 1 hour nap and then a protein shake after more water. I'll see how much I can accomplish tonight. (It's going on 4 o'clock here in AZ.
Hugs to all, Mag
PS--- I lost 2 pounds this week. I'm happy with that.

Great job on the 2 lbs down! Just do the best you can at any given moment. Thats all any of us can do.
Get some rest! Hugs back at ya lady!

This is a summary for 2 days -Sunday and Monday, since it's after dinner Monday already.
Sunday went fairly well, if u discount the fact that DB took me out to dinner. At least I stuck with the salad (just lemon for dressing, ty) and maybe 1-2 oz of meat.
Monday was not too bad, despite it being a holiday here. My house assistant and I cooked some beef for the next couple of days and of course, the necessary salads. I kept to my program today and hope to continue this way until vacation time in August.
