Starting to watch my portions
Oct 16, 2012
So yesterday at lunch I had some of my Progresso soup. I had the Noodles and beans. That was a mistake. All those beans made my stomach feel gassy. UGH. The worse feeling in the world is when you are hurting from lunch and you can do anything about it. I went home at 4:30 and was laying on the couch. My youngest comes up and asks me what is wrong. I try to explain it so not as to sound to grose, he is 16 so it isnt like he is younger and wont understand. Then he just calmly and very informatively says, "Mom, why dont you just fart and get it all out?" I dont think i could keep a straight face. I guess if i could have I would have done that. Instead I went to the old stand by Milk of Magnesia.I am feeling better today. So I have a change of eating plans today. I got these bowls in the baby department that holds 8 oz of soup. I am now going to portion off my food as to what the can says. If there is 2 servings, then i will have 2 bowls. That way I am not eating too much so when I do have the surgery that eating smaller portions, than what I am currently, it wont feel like a big change or that I am feeling those hunger pangs. I am hoping that today is going to be better. I am eating more times throughout the day. Breakfast, snack, Lunch, snack, dinner, snack. I have been reading that it should be about every 3 hours. so that is what i am going to do. Plus I am uping my water intake. Plain water is OK but after a while it can be a struggle to get the water in. I am now using different packets from Crystal Light and the Wal-mart brand, to get my water in.
Now I am hoping that these changes work and it will be something that will be easy to stick to.
