It’s all fun and games until you have an appointment with a Gastroenterologist. Other than that, everything has been all fun and games.
Sunday 09/09/2018 – Another lunch with my mother. Today she wants taco’s from Jack In The Box. Please do not ask why but feel free to blame her dementia, LOL. My son, Dawson, and I both had a Jumbo Jack with cheese and curly fries. I had a DP with mine while Dawson had a Sprite. I just so we are perfectly clear, they were super-sized… or whatever it is they call it. In my defense, that was the only thing I ate that day.
Monday 09/10/2018 – As usual, I started my morning with coffee. I have things to check off my to-do list and one of those things is to get a Prevnar 13 vaccine while I’m at CVS picking up prescriptions. Unfortunately, my stop at CVS took much longer than I expected so I wasn’t able to check off everything from my list, but I did manage to include a stop at Starbucks. After that vaccine, I needed a Grande Mocha AND a cheese danish. Other things I ate today included some smoked sausage as an afternoon snack and brisket nachos (corn tortilla chips, brisket, cheese, salsa, and sour cream). I also drank a tangerine LaCroix with a splash of 7-Up.
Tuesday 09/11/2018 – Woke up with a headache and a very sore left arm. At least I have Excedrin Migraine for the headache!!!! But we will definitely start the day with coffee… LOTS. OF. COFFEE. I was still drinking at 1 pm. Today’s meals consisted of 3 pieces of bacon for lunch. 2 hard boiled eggs for a snack. 1/2 of a brisket quesdilla (corn tortilla, brisket, cheese, sour cream, and salsa).
Wednesday 09/12/2018 – Coffee… 3 pieces of bacon. Cauliflower mash with cheese, and sour cream and brisket (served in a coffee cup so there wasn’t that much). 2 boiled eggs and 3 pieces of bacon is how I ended my feeding frenzy!!! Forgot to mention I did drink 7-up all day.
Thursday 09/13/2018 – GI doctor day… Started my morning with coffee. Didn’t feel like eating since I had an afternoon appointment plus that morning I had to take my mother to her neurologist follow up appointment. My appointment was pretty much what I was expecting… the dreaded colonoscopy!!! Which is now scheduled for the 18th. The doctor informed me that my keto diet (even modified) is not providing me with enough fiber. He has suggested that I take 2 FiberCon 3 times a day with meals (in the middle of the meal). Maybe I should re-evaluate this modified keto diet and see if I can find something that will be a bit more GI friendly for me but still be low carb. After my appointment, I went to McDonald’s and got a Big Mac Extra Value Meal Supersized for Dawson and myself. I’m trying to justify this as necessary since I’m having a colonoscopy real soon. In any case, it is definitely stress eating.
Friday 09/14/2018 – Coffee… Always start the day with coffee. 3 pieces of bacon. small amount of rotisserie chicken from costco. Small amount of steak my hubby grilled. Probably 7-up to drink.
Saturday 09/15/2018. Coffee as usual. Today s a full on cheat day. I’m not holding back!!! I guess is it a good thing that Saturday is the day I pick up my groceries at the WalMart Neighborhood Market. On this day I had some Mrs. Baird’s Grab N’ Go powdered donuts, 3 pieces of bacon, brisket nachos, and possibly the remainder of the powdered donuts.
So, even though I was totally off, I managed to maintain my weight. I’m not complaining at all. I just need to figure out what is the best way for me to continue and still get in the necessary amount of fiber with out have to take 6 capsules a day!!!! I’m open to any and all suggestions.
