Morning all. Didn't post yesterday. It was the anniversary of losing my husband and 2 days before that it was the same, losing my first daughter. Ate anything that wasn't nailed down. Went to the co-op and found a Livlife loaf and am hoping that I am back on track. Should say I AM back on track, shouldn't I? Have skipped bf today. Have a chicken breast for dinner with veg and 2 Ryvitas with egg mayo and cress for tea. Have also started writing it all down again.
Just tell them what arm to use.I'm hoping the injection is into my right arm
Hi I put my full turnip/swede in the microwave for 20 minutes then take it out cut the top bit off then it’s like mash just scoop it out with a spoon if u look on YouTube there a videoHi All like the sound of the celeriac dauphinoise though the cream would be an issue. I very much like mashed swede and mashed celeriac but cutting them up is almost impossible. After fighting with the last swede for 15 mins it ended up in the bin! Waitrose do frozen celeriac “pellets” but I wish the supermarkets sold chunks of both veg like they do with butternut squash. Yesterday I had lunch out with friends and had chicken in a creamy mushroom sauce with salad. Coffe after though I think they gave me cappuccino which would be too carbs probs instead of flat white. It didnt seem worth making a fuss at the time. In the evening I had 8 mini mestballs in chilli sauce and some green beans. This mornings FBG was the worst ever so either I ate too much yesterday or there were more carbs than I realised
Today usual brekkie HiLo toast and lots of tea. Worked in the garden in morning helping Mr PM seed a large area behind the heathers. Lunch was small plate ham salad with a few pickled onions. Supper will be chicken & pepper stir fry in Teriyaki sauce and green beans.

Or just have her come out of the cubicle with her needle? It's not like you have to get naked for it, so who cares! A firm 'no' to the wrong arm should do the trick, up to them how they want to reach the good arm.Last time I was there, the cubicle was set up in such a way that the only way to get the wheelchair in and the nurse, was for her to be on my left side. If the set-up is the same, it will take a bit more juggling to get my right arm into position. Then, of course, the Libre sensor is on my right arm at present, but there's plenty of upper arm space to inject into even so.

The sensor doesn't make a difference, I had mine in the arm with the sensor.
Hi All
Firstly @maglil55 thank you so much for the Boulangere Celeriac recipe and I will give it a go when I get my new knife to cut it with. Thanks also to @AndBreathe for the knife info. I have found something similar on Amazon.
Yesterday usual brekkie, slice HiLo toast and lots of tea.
Lunch small plate salad with crustless quiche.
Supper was Per Peri Chicken left over from Sunday, cauliflower, brocolli and green beans. Today’s lunch likely to be the same and for supper its Fish Finger Firsday (chunky cod ones) more green veg.
You can get female urinal bottles from Amazon UK at reasonable price.Foolishly, I took my diuretic pills by mistake, so I might have problems.
Events as traumatic as these can only be handled in whatever way suits you. Some people need the comfort of food, quite legitimately, and others can't eat at all, and that's right for them. Whatever it takes to get you through a difficult time, is right. If you feel able now to get back to a lower carb way of eating, that's fine but if it takes longer - then take longer.
What you've planned for today looks pretty good to me.
