Something has been going on with my site.\u00c2\u00a0 It keeps going down for short to long periods of time, but every time I talk to the hubby about it, things come up fine for him.\u00c2\u00a0 He FINALLY was at his computer at the same time as I saw the problem so he knows I am not crazy (in this respect anyway! ;)).\u00c2\u00a0 Since its an inconsistant problem, I’m not sure what (if anything) can be done, but we are aware.<\/p>\n
Had the 3 hour glucose tolerance test yesterday.\u00c2\u00a0 By the time it was over, I’d been fasting for 16 hours and was ravenous!\u00c2\u00a0 I should find out the results\u00c2\u00a0at the next OB appointment (this Thursday), assuming they are available as quickly as the single test I did 2 weeks ago.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n
I’ve done a not such a great job with cutting back on simple sugars and carbs while waiting to find out.\u00c2\u00a0 I’ve tried to figure out what I’m going to eat if it comes up positive, and I find that while I know a lot about nutrition, I’m already struggling to balance my physical ability to eat (lap band issues) with the caloric needs of pregnancy and my desire to maintain my weight instead of gaining.\u00c2\u00a0 Getting *extra* calories to make sure I am getting enough for the growing thing inside me\u00c2\u00a0has meant\u00c2\u00a0drinking calories (like juice) or eating something squishy and soft (like yogurt) — a source of calories that is almost exclusively carbs, and simple and\/or refined ones.\u00c2\u00a0Something that will process through\u00c2\u00a0my altered top tummy quickly.<\/p>\n
There are few lean protein sources that I can eat in any quantity (2-3 ounces of any meat is about all I can take at once) and vegetables are just as difficult.\u00c2\u00a0 Anything really solid or rough takes a ton of time and care to get down.\u00c2\u00a0I can’t take any more protein drinks.\u00c2\u00a0 The last time I whipped one up I literally could not gag it down.\u00c2\u00a0 Unless its more fruit\/yogurt than protein powder in which case it seems like it’s little better than a glass of juice for controlling blood sugar.<\/p>\n
Throw in the needs of a diabetic diet\u00c2\u00a0(and that’s not my strong suit, but seems like my “ideal” food plan works there ok) on top of what I am already balancing in my daily caloric intake and I feel a bit lost.\u00c2\u00a0 If the results come back positive, I may ask for a referral to a nutritionist\/dietician to get some advice.\u00c2\u00a0 Sigh.\u00c2\u00a0 My last encounter with one (aside from the lap band dietician who was advising me on a new way of eating to fit in with my post surgery needs) left me feeling like I could teach HER.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
