September 8,2010

Went out to lunch with Mom and Kris.  Had Chinese and really did a number on my "digestion".  When will I learn.  I need to get more disciplined and think of my diet like any other prescription medicine.  There are certain foods and certain times of day I just can't eat.  If I followed what my body needs, I would maintain a good weight and not have hours of misery.

Steamed clams

I went out to a local restaurant for my sister's birthday today. Creekside Grill. I was a little nervous because I did not want to make a mistake. I was relieved when I saw steamed clams on the menu. It is something that has not bothered me so far. And I enjoy it. My fat grams were way over the top today. Ch. Chip cookies are something I need to not make as often. Definitely ate more today than I have been today. Hopefully I will still sleep ok.

No natural bm, I had to do enema prep. for exam

The food from KFC surprisingly did not affect me in a bad way. So in a pinch I know I can eat that if we are out and about.

Heavens To Merkatroid, Restaurants Are Out

Well today was my first restaurant meal since I started the low residue diet. I thought I made a good choice. I obviously did not. Oh my what a long afternoon and evening I have had. I went to lunch with my hubby to a Chinese restaurant we have been to many times. I knew I was not going to be able to have my regular fare that I usually have. Like chow mein or kung pow so I chose sweet and sour chicken (made sure I did not eat any pineapple) and white rice. Well about 2 or 3 hours later I knew it was a big mistake. I am not sure if it was the sauce or the breading on chicken but I will not be trying to eat any other food but food I have prepared, for quite a while. The cost is way too high.

I knew I was going out to lunch so I did not eat food which sometimes triggers bm's.
