Ok, so last night I was up working on some make up assignments for my anatomy class. I suddenly had a craving for the raisen bran that was in my kitchen (My boyfriend and I are staying with his parents until we move out of state this summer, and believe me, that is one of the best things in the house that they buy for themselves) I decieded to induldge without reading the box. I had about 3/4 of a cup, maybe a little less. I figured, Raisen Bran is healthy and a old favorite, and a much better choice than frsted flakes.

When I logged it in MFP this morning, my less than full serving had 30 something carbs!!!! WTH?! Ugh. Thats what I get for not reading the box. At least it has fiber!

Every now and then I indulge in All Bran. I only eat a serving size, which is 1/4 cup. ( see- if we only pay attention to serving size! LOL) I mostly do it to help "get things moving" if I am a little slow. But it also helps with the cold Cereal cravings I will have now and then. Yes it is carbs, but sometimes it is the great good. Just don't make it a habit, bad ones are what got us in trouble to start with!

Raisin bran sounds good. I'll have Multigrain Cheerios with 1% milk and splenda when I need a Cereal fix. I can never seem to gauge how much it takes to fill me up though, and wind up throwing out a lot of it. I used to eat a lot of Special K Protein cereal pre-surgery, but it just doesn't seem to appeal to me now.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
