Hi
ana! Welcome! You can do this! We got your back!
Ro - After 10 months on IP this was my first time eating cabbage
. How it tastes...The recipe I found online compared them to garlic bread...um yah, thats a bit of a stretch but it had gotten a little crunchy in places, soft in others, and I used real crushed garlic with pink salt and a little pepper. Maybe if it had cut the right way (my fault for coring the cabbage) and remained round it would have gotten a little crispier - but with the salmon I had with lunch, it was PERFECT. I'm shocked how much I liked it!
after all my harping on the bg #'s
Actually, I had gone ahead and ate this morning but showed the nurse my reading from before breakfast - she noted it and PDoc and I discussed my numbers.
She said everything sounds perfect (as far as numbers fasting, 2 hours post meal, bedtime) and it is not unusual for bg to drop like mine after not eating for 5+ hours. Advised keeping a Quest bar in my purse at all times but she doesn't expect me to continue have episodes once my caloric intake levels out / up in P4. If anything else needs to be addressed, we will know Monday.
Blue - lol - I am envious of you to a greater degree. Tomorrow's breakfast was a s**t ton of work and anxiety. I don't want to screw it up - but there is so much information available now on line that makes P3 fairly easy.
IP doesn't give you a nice list that says "buy this, not that" - and actually I think it's good b/c it does force you to slow down and read labels / do a little math to make the macros line up.
This is where an app like MFP will come in VERY handy!
Thank god for the internet too
...and funny enough - on the protocol facebook page a local (to D.C.) IP'er was looking for WF products and it started a conversation about what could be found where...I mentioned I couldn't fine the dips ANYWHERE! Well ironically tonight I stop in the one store that NEVER has WF products and lo-and-behold, what is lined up with the Hershey's chocolate syrups, etc near the ice creams...WF dips - caramel, chocolate, & marshmallow!
May I say...I actually like the marshmallow dip
lol
