What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

Didn’t eat until 2 as had dental operation first thing - pleased done but a bit sore and a couple of stitches so soft, no chewing, food needed! On the plus side not as bad as my first operation two months ago, no antibiotics needed this time so my gut bacteria should be relieved and my next appointment in two weeks should be easier - says she madly crossing fingers.
Late lunch eggs scrambled in butter followed by a spoon of Greek yoghurt
Dinner h/m tomato sauce (passata) with mushrooms and a slice of soft buttered h/m low carb bread.
Hoping to be able to get back to more normal food over next few days.
 
Still having to be careful chewing as my jaw and mouth remain quite painful from Tuesdays dentist visit. Also keeping up the iron rich foods, dark chocolate is good for iron content, so a couple of squares are often consumed in the evening after posting here!
Breakfast: my usual low carb coconut ‘porridge’ with strawberries washed down with a black coffee.
Late morning: black coffee and a carb killa bar.
Skipped lunch.
Mid afternoon: black coffee and coffee chia pudding and LC nutty granola.
Dinner: salmon and cream cheese sandwich on LC bread with beetroot leaf salad and coleslaw followed by DGF lemon and blueberry cake, cream and LC nutty granola.

B: ff greek with 6 raspberries and seeds
Skipped lunch as spent a day shopping - well trying on things really. Was very pleased with my new size. Tried various styles to see what suited best. Came away happy but empty handed. The ones I liked were just too expensive to justify.
4pm a chunk of cheese
6:30 pm slow cooked paprika beef stew cooked by hubby, with cabbage.
 
Sausages, two egg and cheese omelette, tomatoes for breakfast.
Tub of chobani greek yoghurt, lemon cordial with a scoop of Osmolax mixed in for smoko.
Pork shoulder chop, green veggies and gravy for lunch.
Chopped up hard boiled eggs and some salad in low carb wraps for supper at six.

B- Scrambled eggs, avocado and turmeric&ginger sauerkraut.
L-H/m scotch egg and salad with a few seeds sprinkled. Shame about the dark ring round the yolk. DGF cake to follow.
D-Soup and sandwich. The soup was made from yesterday’s chicken carcass and leftover meat with a few veg. Sandwich was SLC cheese roll. Some Montezuma’s Absolute black buttons and a small handful mixed nuts afterwards.
@Annb and @shelley262 hugs for the dental work and gappy teeth. I find a mask really useful in the cold weather for keeping my face warm when I’m out shopping. View attachment 51889

That looks like a nice little face.
 
Slowly getting back to more normal eating after fridays dental operation and feeling more myself - also treated myself to a late morning in bed with cups of black tea and a book.
Lunch scrambled eggs with slice of h/m lc bread followed by Greek yoghurt
Mid pm two squares of 90% chocolate
Dinner roast chicken with celeriac mash, a couple of baby carrots and one small roast potato ( they seem to work ok for my blood sugars if small and pre parboiled and open frozen before roasting - doing it this way too means I can do bag of potatoes and keep a bag of them ready in freezer for a few months, as don’t have them that often. I also use this method with new potatoes which I parboil and then cut into chip shapes and open freeze so I can just have a few chips if fancy some) also had glass of dry white wine followed by low carb blondie with spoon of yoghurt.
 
Way behind again. Sunday 31 October. Bed 5.2 FBG 5.9. I have not had a good week. My hideous cold morphed into norovirus. I managed to drag myself upwards to get the bag ready for swimming and a wave of nausea swept over me. Decided to be sensible and stay home. Just as well I did as I couldn't stray from the loo for the next few hours.

B. Just water
L. Lots more Water
D. Had a bit roast chicken, more water and a skyr yoghurt.

Monday. Bed 1 November 6.7 FBG 6.9. I was absolutely drained. Despite me disinfecting the bathrooms constantly yesterday, Hubby succumbed to the dreaded norovirus today. I got the boys to school then got back to rest again.

B & L - both of us on lots of water.
D. A SLC sandwich with a bit more of yesterday's chicken and avocado. Yet more Water.

Tuesday 2 November bed 6.9 FBG 6.6. I was finally feeling a bit better.

B. TAG, water and a slice of SLC toast with egg mayo.
L. Still lots of water.
D. Yet another SLC sandwich with coronation chicken. A DGF cookie.

I was recovering, Hubby still not great but at least he'd started eating again.
 
Breakfast: my usual low carb coconut ‘porridge’ with strawberries washed down with a black coffee.
Late morning: black coffee and Atkins bar.
Skipped lunch.
Mid afternoon: black coffee and orange chia pudding with LC nutty granola.
Tea at ILs: cold meat, cheese and salad buffet followed by one Jaffa cake!
 
Two slices of middle bacon, two and a half eggs (the half egg was all I could catch before it went down the plug hole in the sink) and cheese omelette for breakfast.
Tub of chobani yoghurt, lemon cordial and Osmolax cocktail for smoko.
Roast rolled belly pork, and veggies and gravy for a later lunch.
Cold pork and lettuce in a low carb wrap, half a mandarin for supper at six seven.
 
Wednesday 3 November bed 6.3 FBG 6.7. I do hope everyone is feeling better what with dental visits and isolation. We're still a bit congested but it's starting to clear finally. My booster is on 8 November and I'm told to attend and they'll decide then whether to rebook me or not. I'm refusing both and I've booked at Boots at the end of the month for the flu jab.

B. TAG and 2 slices of SLC toast and egg mayo.
L. Nothing
D. Prawns, lettuce, 1/2 avocado and poached salmon. DGF Cookie.

Thursday 4 November bed 6.3 FBG 6.6

B. TAG and 2 slices of SLC toast with whipped cheese.
L. Nothing
D. Cauliflower and Kale soup. Slice of SLC bread.

Friday 5 November bed 6.4 FBG 6.6

B. TAG and 2 slices of SLC toast with whipped cheese.
L. Nothing
D. Bunless cheeseburger with salad and coleslaw.. Last DGF cookie (but I ordered more)
 
Breakfast was some of yesterday's leftover lc crumble with a little custard and some cream. It's the usual nuts and seeds and berries but tastes extra good when you think it's been made into something different. Leftover cold crumble was always a favourite as a child, especially for breakfast.
Walk
Lunch was cheese and cucumber. Had done a freezer audit do the boys ate up some wraps found lurking
D: roast pork carrots broccoli and peppers, gravy. Later some seeds and cream
 
Cup of tea
B: black coffee, spinach frittata

S: 2 cheese strings
3 bottles of water
Larry says 5.9
 
Saturday 6 November - bed 6 4 FBG 6.8. Did a Sainsburys click & collect yesterday and went straight to collect it after the early morning run to jujitsu with the boys. That gave me most of the day to myself as the weather was ghastly.

B. Just TAG
L. 2 slices of SLC toast and pate. Glass of V8
D. Courgetti carbonara. One of these Lidl mini bars of dark raspberry chocolate.

Sunday 7 November - bed and FBG both 7 2

B. TAG and 2 slices of SLC toast with pate.
L. Nothing - swimming lesson day.
D. Actually had a starter today, King prawn, smoked salmon, lettuce and Marie Rose sauce. Duck breast, mini cob, parsnip, asparagus and 1/2 a roast potato. Usual campari and soda. I was hungry after all my limited food days. I've she'd 8 lbs thanks to this bug. Not complaining though.

Got my covid booster this morning (Monday 8 Nov). They said since I was recovering from this bug it would be fine and they agreed with my allergies it was probably sensible to separate the jabs. So flu remains at the chemist at the end of the month. I was given Moderna today (last 2 were Pfizer) and I had no reaction to it so I was released after 25 mins.
