"What have you eaten" Parallel Chat

[Annb]

My appetite has rebounded for some reason. It might be the ozempic pen or it might be something else, maybe colder weather and reaching for comfort food.

I'm due to start mounjaro after this ozempic pen runs out, but it's a smaller starting dose so that might be another several weeks of higher appetite.

I had non low carb food all day today as well. Sigh.

I find that if I have a carb rich food, I just keep on feeling hungry (for more carbs) so it's best, if possible to fill up on protein rich foods which will keep me going for longer.

For a change, I reheated the squash mash from yesterday (which was a bit on the sweet side) with some butter and some tamarind paste. It was very good and I might do that again.

Feeling a little more positive today - I had scrambled eggs for breakfast with a small slice of home made bread. I'm not sure about tea yet.

It's a strange day weather wise, lots of heavy showers and some odd moments of sun peeking through. I'm actually getting on with some really important jobs indoors.

Breakfast was 2 slices of a quite small Lorne sausage with some cheese melted onto them and a fried egg on top of each. Surprisingly not very filling but it kept me going for a while until just a few minutes ago when I had 2 tiny crackers with some more cheese.

This morning I made what was supposed to be sandwich spread - veg cut into tiny brunoise and "pickled" overnight with lemon juice, with mayo and yoghurt but it is more like a salad than a spread, so I'll use that with the 2nd meal today which will be a mixed salad of some kind.

That sounds delicious! I've been not having coffee for a few days and I might be speaking too soon, but my digestive issues have settled right down. I will carry on with green tea, which I am enjoying, and live in hope!

So far so good with my digestive issues as well. Neil reckons he had the same issues with instant coffee but he's OK with ground coffee. Might pluck up courage to try that soon.

The attempt at a sandwich spread made a perfectly good salad.

My dental plate broke again. We fixed it with some superglue yesterday but it broke again today (I would go and eat one of those very small but hard crackers). I've glued it together again and hope it will hold out for a while - I can't get my replacement one until 19th November. No crackers until then.

Breakfast: scrambled eggs - something soft to protect my false teeth.

2nd meal will be salmon with some more of the "sandwich spread".

I'm supposed to be going out for my 2nd meal and have made chicken biryani again. I won't be able to eat anything there, so will have the salmon as a late lunch and just have tea with everyone else. I made the biryani yesterday before I broke my false teeth and was considering having some of it myself. That decision is made for me - I shan't be eating carbs.

We'll see, and for now it is a very odd feeling to have no idea what my bg is.

Have no idea? Don't you feel your bg? Don't you feel bad with hypo and spikes?
