So last we spoke, I spent two days throwing up. Well I took that Tuesday off. I was so soar from all the vomiting, there was no way I was trying to swallow food at work, and hoping I wouldn't vomit. I then passed the remainder of the week disaster free. Yay!
So I am still suffering from some serious pain in my chest and throat. I think it's from all my "physical activities" on Monday and Tuesday. Today, for whatever reason, I am hiccuping and I can't tell you how freaking painful that is. I think I stained muscles (during my vomit fests).
Conclusions? No starch, or very little. Flat breads (if I really, really need bread products!). No matter how slow I chew, I should be chewing slower; which is actually slightly depressing. I take more time to eat a meal than anyone I know (now that is), and I still am going to fast? It took me a solid 20 mins to eat 1/2 a piece of pizza last night. I threw out the rest because we had to go pick up the girls and I wasn't feeling too good, BUT I was still hungry. MF! Oh well.
Other "fall out" from Sunday and Monday? I spent well over 2 hours this week looking for recipes for lapband/Moriah friendly foods. This involved finding the recipe, ensuring that I had complete meals (so menu design for the next two weeks), then adding the ingredients to my grocery list. Would you like to wager how much my grocery bill for two weeks was? Oh, I'll tell you alright...roughly $450! WTF?!?!? And what does this buy you, you ask? Well, I really don't know.
Today got up, went to gymnastics with the girls, then we headed out to Loblaws (Costco was done last night, kid free). Bought all that...stuff (with $60 worth of veg alone!) and brought it home to put away and cook. I made these little individual size frittatas (with spinach, mushroom, onions, peppers and goats cheese). They will be great for breakfast during the week. I also made a spaghetti sauce ~ how is that good for you? Oh, I put zucchini, mushrooms, carrots and peppers in it (aside from the normal onions, garlic and ground beef). Sooooo good. Also, spaghetti has the added bonus of being a food I can eat without pain. Then I made a recipe my friend gave me: Fouplant coconut curry (eggplant, zuccini, tomato etc...). I'm going to pair that up with chicken and some couscous (will see how that goes down), can also have it with naan bread. So versitile Fou, you are a genius! While doing all that, I prepped the food for tonight's dinner and prepped the start of another dinner (Farro Spaghetti, with beets, brown butter and poppy seeds). I still have a couple of lentil dishes to make tomorrow, but as I was cleaning up, Guy pointed out to me that I had bought yellow and green peas - Not lentils (please insert f-bomb here).
Things I haven't made but are on the list to consume? Well, I bought myself some vanilla yogurt which I will pair with oats and cranberries... yum! Or I'll make one of my famous (only to me) smoothies. That's three whole breakfast options that don't consist of food I can't eat. WOW! Also on the to do list... chili. I know, most of you already eat this stuff but it is not a dish I eat. I found a really interesting recipe that has dark chocolate and sausage. How bad can it be?
OMG! Get this, I am going for breakfast with a few friends tomorrow and I am driving in with my friend Kelly... So she suggests we leave a bit early and park 20 mins away from the restaurant so we can get a walk in first. Ok, now I am trying to make lifestyle changes and be good, but that just is too much! I mean, I am going to get ready, do my hair and makeup and then you want me to sweat? Really? I love you to pieces Kelly but that is just crazy talk. AND I think that I can't exercise tomorrow because it's the day of rest! God told me not to, hellooooo? Talk to me when we are back at work being miserable. I'll go then!
Ok, that's it for now. You're welcome, one completely disjointed UNEDITED blog.
