None of these - provided at our monthly office health and safety meeting today!

You are so cruel........lol

I believe you can only get it in solid form.

I'm pretty certain in Thailand last year they had a liquid form of coconut oil because they were in tall glass bottles, unless it was the cream, going back again in July hopefully so will investigate more and try to bring some home

Blueberry smoothie
Bacon and eggs
Rump steak, flat mushrooms & peas (didn't count them but more than the 24 odd!)
Few pieces of honeydew melon (will test after, not sure) maybe a fat bomb.

Went to see the doctor who did op this morning and he is very pleased with progress so far, stitches even taken out after only 6 days, wasn't expecting that. 2 week wait to find out if radiotherapy needed, he did comment my wife is strange (already knew that) in as much as he has never seen a tumour like this attached to the salivary duct or the size of the duct (too big) we even got photos of the tumour & operation in progress but thought to gruesome to post in a food thread
Sara says thank you for all the kind messages, we have both been blown away with the amount of good support received lately, makes you surprised at how much kindness there is out there!!

That sounds like the perfect meal... envy you... Might have to make a Goan fish curry tomorrow.... lush... Full fat coconut milk and cream is what you should be eating... not the chapati so much though... if it was a wholemeal one there's plenty of fibre on the other hand and they're not huge.... Coconut water is wonderful and a great re-hydrater, but it does have a natural sugar content... I ration myself, but you need to test to see what it does to you... you might be lucky and be able to drink it whenever you like... I tend to test everything...

I would have tested too, but have run out of strips. I really didn't want the chapati, it just felt odd not to - I'll get more confident about these sorts of things as I get more practice! My poor friend couldn't get the hang of it, although she was really supportive and didn't want to order anything I couldn't share. But she offered me popcorn, ice cream and chocolate at the cinema afterwards!!

Great news , Sarah must heal really well. Fingers crossed no radiotherapy needed. X

Try ironing while you're watching - or - listening to the cricket on Five Live - you won't even notice it... trust me...

True - I'd probably nod off! :grin:

 

[pavlovsdog]

I'm just not losing any more... I am going to be more careful, but the trouble is, travelling as much as I do, eating sensibly is difficult sometimes... and when I get home everyone comes to see me and I'm cooking all sorts of stuff I shouldn't eat... my littlest granddaughter takes so much attention I forget and then have to eat something on the run... and then I'm hungry and I eat too much too quickly I think... ramble.....

I don't have any excuse! I'm just eating too much cream and yoghurt, but it's something of a comfort for me at the mo so I'm loath to give it up :-(

 

[pavlovsdog]

You need to put butter in too, then whizz it - it comes out like cappuccino... lush....

Mmmmm

Try the Alpro soya ones. There's plain, plain with coconut or plain with almond. The fruity ones are off limits carbs-wise tho.

Hello all.

@poshtotty I am both shocked and utterly unsurprised at your letter from the dietician.
@Weird Science glad to hear your wife's op went well - fingers crossed for a swift recovery.

Me yesterday:
B: 2 boiled eggs, coffee with cream
L: at a friends house, smoked salmon and ham, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, bit of avocado and carrot.
Snack: at about 5pm I was properly hungry (insufficient fat at lunch, I think) so ate some almonds and pistachios and 2 small falafels (the ones allegedly under 1g carbs per serving but with no indication of what a serving is. I hope it's "a falafel" and not "a quarter of a falafel" but it's under 4g per 100g so should be fine).
Dinner: mince with veg and (randomly) olives in (MIL's cooking sometimes takes an odd turn), served on white cabbage sautéed in butter and sesame oil, with grated cheddar on top.
Then another coffee with cream.

My fasting sugars have been good lately - high 4s, highest was 5.0 this morning. When I had my postnatal GTT back in Oct which diagnosed me as diabetic my fasting sugar was 6.2.

Think I'll try that As I'm lactose intolerant i usualy hhave lacto free milk in tea just a splash. Can't stand any other milk. Tried them all. But I've had soya milk cappuccino at costa coffee before and it was nice.

I've tried the soya lattes and I'm hooked they're so tasty especially with sweetner in.

Thanks
