Lamb

So I worked out if I have 2 oz of lamb 3 times today I will get 45g of protein.With one shake it will be 70g

and I will be good to go.Well,this sleeve doesnt like that much meat at all.I had 1.5oz and another 1.5oz and voila,reflux.Then I realized I had forgotten to take my nexium this morning.

 

Well,my old default is 3oz of sweetpotato and well,the reflux is gone and I feel ok.

 

You live,you learn.

 

I must say I am still stunned at how little I can eat.It takes a lot of getting use to.And my family is visiting next week.I will have ro figure out what to order when we eat out.At this point soup sounds safe.It is frustrating to not be able to eat but also exciting in a way.

 

One thing I am getting a bit paranoid about is the whole issue of calsium absorption and getting enough iron.I will have to try and find calcium citrate in different form than the huge tabs it comes in here in Dubai.Then I will have to figure out the iron thing as I am so constipated all the time now that taking iron is just not even an option.

Can you acquire magnesium citrate? It helps with absorption of calcium, metabolism of carbs, and also eases the bowels. Can you do mail order in Dubai? There are american dot.coms like netrition.com and supplementwarehouse.com where one might order supplements and protein powders. I'm just not familiar with overseas shipping.

I'm going to keep sweet potato in mind, for sure.
