What we are eating,and whats eating us,Monday...
Hiya guys! I want to thank Brenda for helping me out in many ways during my recent scare. We are a bunch of passionate women,and I honestly thank everyone for it was a important reminder that we must take our vitamins for life.
In my case,I do take a B12 shot,and my vitamins,and the neurologist was wrong. My tremors were caused by Tremodal,and anti- seizure med.The more info the ladies gave me,the more I was able to rule out the worse.
Enough about me.....how are you guys doing???
I will not lie,my appetite was astounding as I weaned from this med,unfortunately I can not throw it away,but have lowered the dose to 1/9th.
What's on your plate????
I ate 11 oranges.and my first bag of chips in 3 years,I am ready to re-focus now...smile.

Hiya Jan,I know it seems soon,but this had been going on for 2 months,I had been to th ER twice,the trembling increased along with the med increase.
Thank God,my MRI's and Cat scan were clear.
This was my neurologist,whom I had not seen in 20 months and he knows little about my health care. I am set up for a sleep study,although I do not have apnea.
I had gone from taking 2 pills at night to 2,3 times a day!
It is wonderful to feel the quietness in my body.
I looked back at the times I had the tremors over the last few years I have taken this med,and researched it. It all makes sense.
I have an appt with my regular doctor on Thursday,and she will go over labs and such,and there will be more tests.
So,I am not sure,but sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.She has a lot of WLS patients and was recommended to me by someone on the AZ board,as I realized my other doctor did not know jack,and sh has been my doctor for over 3 years.
I shall be ever so careful,this was scary,and why I freaked when Darlene,Karen,and others started sharing very valuable info.
I felt sorta cheated,that I was doing the right things,and still stricken!
I can only say I am 95 percent better,and that the tests and health care are continuing.
I am still tired and a little week,the doctor says the med I was taking slows the brain,so I guess things will speed up.
Also...YUCK! The chips have made me nauseous!!
Thanks so much!

Wow Linda! Eleven oranges....maybe we just need to start calling you Carmen Miranda! You need a hat with the fruit on top just like hers. ha ha
It is so good to see you back and doing so well. It is alright that you have to wean yourself off the meds. It will be well worth it in the end. I am glad that your doctor is on top of everything....life is beginning to be a good thing again for you.
My appetite is getting back to normal now. I am glad and so is the visiting nurse. Now I am doing the food from the day before since it seems like to much pressure to me to figure it out the morning of. Thanks Annette for that idea.....I would have never thought of it even though some others do it. Sometimes my brain works in reverse.
B: kiwi fruit
L: whole wheat spaghetti (about 1/2 cup or maybe a bit less)
D: roast beef with cheese
S: popcorn
This was the first time I tried whole wheat spaghetti...in fact whole wheat pasta at all. I thought it tasted very good. My grand niece and Bill both liked it too. I know that I will be using it again. It has a pretty good amount of protein in it too....7 grams for the 1/2 cup.
I will be parting for now. I have clothes to fold and the guy is here to fix the leak in the toilet tank. I am sending love and hugs to you along with loads of prayers being said for you...and they are most certainly working too, with all the ones that are being said for you. Know that when you spread the seeds of joy and happiness around they sprout and fill others lives with them. Just a thought.....

It's not what you gather, but what you scatter
that tells what kind of life you have lived.
Brenda! You are so funny! I loved Carmen!
The oranges were so refreshing,cold,I was making orange smileys for the grands,and off it went from there.
I must say the thing that ended my binge is when I had a wheat sandwich with roast beef and pepper jack cheese.
Nothing fills you up like protein...go figure!! LOL.
I have written my food in th aftermath since I have not been out working,I know about menu pressure.
George has always put his food in that way.
Well,I am going shopping when the sun goes down,I am down to ONE orange...LOL!
Stay as sweet as you are..

It is good to see you back Linda. Brenda did an excellent job.
For some reason my tummy inflated last night. Duh - gas from a small bowl of chili perhaps? I laid in bed and watched it grow. Moaning and complaining the entire time. It looked like an alien had impregnated me and was growing fast.
All better today but very nervous about eating. Water makes me gurgle like a stopped up sink. Plumbing is working but noisy.
B- blueberries, Kasi, cottage cheese
L - apple & a dab of peanut butter.
The rest of the day is a mystery.
