When my brother called me that she had been rushed to the hospital I didn't think about my eating for the day and didn't take my pills with me. My daughter brought me her leftover lunch to eat at the hospital (chicken nachos), I mostly ate the chicken/cheese but may have had some of the tortilla chips too cause it was a little soggy. I didn't take my pills or have my HNS either. I didn't get home until almost midnight so didn't eat anything else all day. I started back the next day with green menu. Should I have restarted with the yellow menu?
My mom is fine now by the way. I am also having problems with constipation.  I asked at my center and they are out of the fiber drinks so she told me to take metamucil, I hate that stuff, I only drank 1 glass ful on Sunday. Any other suggestions? I take 6 flax a day but have always had issues with constipation before. |
Glad your mom is okay - that's what's important in the big scheme of life.
You'll probably be up a lb or two of water weight, but you never know - one day might not have done too much damage. Just get back on the wagon & that water weight will come off pretty quickly. They're all human at the center, just like we clients are, so they understand that sometimes stuff happens that makes it difficult or impossible to follow the plan perfectly.
I've used the Smooth Move diet tea when I've been constipated. The MRC internal cleanser also was great for awhile, I seem to have developed an "immunity" to it recently though, so I think I'll just using it daily.
Also, make sure you aren't just eating a bunch of lettuce & salad for your veggies - the more fiber the better. (Although romaine frequently gets things "moving" for me.)
What happens if not completely OP/1 day?
