unk greg Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 (edited) Ok, I'm home now. Last three weeks with three visits to hospital (scheduled). I'm on a first name basis with hospital staff at reception and sign-in stations. For instance, Deb is a Vegan....not alien Vegan, but diet type. Her husband is in Texas doing construction work. Her son is an Air Force "spook" - there goes his clearance now, right? Stationed in Japan....that speaks volumes I guess, to me. Double hernia and coordination with Cardiologist on upcoming surgery. She had interceded, interjected, interrupted and postponed surgery until today. That's ok, better safe than sorry, right? It was for visits to hospital for tests then, too, run to the doctor's office to discuss test results, yadda, yadda .....guessing she (she is a Filapeena) wanted to be sure I would make it thru the hernia ops....🤕 Given the past surgeries vs today's escapade.....this was the most painful. I actually took pain medication for the after effects (or should that be affects? Carlos?!!?) on this one. The past open heart surgery was a breeze for me".....no stents could be used here...although not an in and out deal like today's event. Smiling as I got several comments on the bevy of nurses and techs with a doctor or two thrown in, hovering around. It took 5 hours from today's report in, to my release and sent home. Slow moving for now. No driving, they said. So I presume no motorcycle outings then?......OH, NO, was the chorus reply! At home it is a "Barricade" constructed to keep my two canine buddies at distance. I'll prollee live-sleep in the recliner for the next few days. The industrious black lab has already probed for weak spots. 😏 I got most of the yard mowed a few days ago, and contracted for further mowings....not sure how long I'll be laid up. Momma is/has notified the family members re: so I am letting the rest of the world know. Later. Doing well, toodles. Feeling good, but then it was a rather large pain pill.

Anything white is out.....potatoes, obviously white sugar...well, sugar anyway.....if I ate it, it is no longer a welcome addition to my diet or my menu. Dietician said the more legs it has.....the more it's not to be eaten....fish -no legs. Ok for consumption.👨🍳 Edited April 29, 2022 by unk greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwampNut Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 After-effects. Also, anal and retentive have a hyphen in them sometimes, and sometimes not, depending on context. But there is ALWAYS an Oxford comma. Always. And a wise man once said, "the quote goes outside the punctuation!" 12 hours ago, unk greg said: It be the sugar/diabetic discovery.

I'd say you also don't *need* fish, but I do enjoy salmon on occasion. On the nutritional scale it's at the very top from the animal products. Now we need a low-carb fried centipede recipe. Maybe modify Philip's fried chicken batter with oat flour instead of white? Show it to the dietician for a laugh. "Too many legs?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwampNut Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 You should watch this, under five minutes. The nutrition you're being advised towards is also coincidentally super healthy for other reasons. https://nutritionfacts.org/video/flashback-friday-pros-and-cons-of-a-macrobiotic-diet/?mc_cid=b924a75ac9&mc_eid=6bf37ade4d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I enjoy salmon as well.....now to the centipede recipe....that's a no go.....itz fried! Thanks for the link on diabetic eats......doc gave me a book to read on diet. Surprisingly, I'm not too far off. Never one for sweets and desserts. Don't use salt as I figure enuff in processed food already. I have cut back on portions. No more seconds and the red meat is to be no bigger than a deck of cards. Edited May 3, 2022 by unk greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He goes to the doctor and she tells him he has gout. Kyle: So what does that mean? Doctor: It means you can't eat certain foods Kyle: Like what? Doctor: Anything that would be served at a BBQ, you can't eat. Kyle; So I'm going to die? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unk greg Posted May 2, 2022 Author Share Posted May 2, 2022 (edited) Skipped ahead to fruits. Yep....I eat grapes, apples and oranges....no, no, no. Nuts are okay....good, I like cashews...oh wait, not so much on the cashews. Burnt again. Somebody told me the "Caveman" diet.....just like them good ole pre-history times. More reading to ensue. Incidentally....my sugar exploration and eating. Diabetic and related heart. Fasting blood sugar reading should be in the 80's (no idea what that means). I read the meter that sips on a drop of blood. Then after eating, the second reading, which tells the effect of your meal. Book says shouldn't peak any higher than 140 to 145. Chinese... I was good on first reading. 1 hour later after take-out Chinee, the reading was 200. Oops, no more Chinee!

Watch that video, follow some of Dr Greger's and Dr Fuhrman's links on insulin response. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
