Yup, coconut yog. Delicious. Sugar free (add sweetener if nec), v low carb. And too expensive for everyday. We buy 2 a week. :)

Plain, vanilla or choc, I think. They also do ice cream, which I would LOVE to try

B: cup of tea.
L: boiled eggs, slimline tonic water.
D: 3x Apple and cinnamon ryvitas, raspberries and blueberries with experiment of small amount of cream. Will see how that effects my pancreatitis, I've now found out I have stones in the pancreas but nothing will be done about it.
S: slimline tonic water, seeing if this helps with the terrible restless legs I get at night.

Thank you @amgrundy, I think I might have to invest in some more hot water bottles as I have one currently on my back which I hurt Saturday trying to help my neighbour up after a fall, and swapping it to my tummy for the pancreatic pain. Do you just rest you legs on it? :)

Help, I am having an Indian takeaway tonight (a celebration for another person!) what food choices would cause less damage?

You could look at their menu and look up on line things that you fancy. Obviously avoid rice, naan etc. Maybe a selection of veg side dishes and something like tandoori chicken? Creamy dishes tend to have quite a lot of sugar in and anything tomato based can cause problems if tomatoes cause your BG to spike. Whatever you have, enjoy it!

Yes, they do it in plain (natural) or flavoured versions. I haven't tried the flavoured ones, but the plain one is really yummy (if you like coconut). Tesco sell it in 250g pots for £3.50, and I'm sure other supermarkets stock it, too. I could happily eat a whole 250g pot, but then I have very poor self-control! I do generally limit myself to a third of a pot at a time, though. ;)

Did you enjoy the Alaskan wild salmon? I bought some a while ago and thought it tasted very strange and not entirely pleasant! I've gone back to normal, orange, farmed salmon which I adore.

You're right - it IS expensive. But I'm a true L'Oreal girl and keep telling myself I'm worth it! (And I'm consistently broke as a result. :))

Definitely! And a cold one in the summer. x
 
B: cup of tea.
L: white fish, peas, spinach, tonic water.
D: will be chicken wings, watercress, cherry tomatoes, spring onions, tonic water.
S: going to have raspberries and blueberries with little bit of cream. ( I really enjoyed this last night and it didn't change how I feel, I still hurt badly. So I'm going to look forward to this treat tonight)

I absolutely love it, I've gone the other way, I now compare ordinary farmed salmon against it as a standard, and find farmed very poor in comparison, less flavour, dry texture.

I agree - it can be dry. But I cook it by sort of waving it past a hot pan, which seems to work pretty well and it has more flavour when it's almost raw. :)
 
@debrasue found the coyo in Waitrose, £2 for a small one. Out of the chocolate one. Also bought some ICE CREAM!! 8g of carbs per two scoops, might be nice for a treat - if I'm fed up of cheese Different brand, Oppo. Salted caramel flavour!
 
If the salmon was sockeye that can be too meaty and dry but coho and King are great, never dry. I used to love sockeye but not anymore.
 
My local fishmonger has started me on Organic Farmed Salmon, it is much lighter in colour, softer and has much more flavour.

Today has been a bitty day as I have been in and out of meetings for most of it.

Brunch: Serano Ham And Gouda cheese eaten on the motorway from my mobile snack pack!

Dinner: Lamb steaks marinated In olive oil, Rosemary And mint which will be cooked on the griddle. Greek salad of cucumber, tomato, onion And flat leaf parsley, with lots of olive oil, feta cheese and homemade Tzatiki (Pita bread for the non diabetic Husband!).
 
What time shall I be over for dinner? Sounds exquisite.

Our Costco has antibiotic free farmed salmon that is delish. I trust their sourcing but still mix my salmons up.
