The Day After....

Imagine this without the raisins, coffee, fruit or orange juice!!  That is what I ate yesterday.


Hey Ya'll,

Well, yesterday I started a 3 day bland diet to see if it brings down the inflammation of my Esophagus and Stomach.  I really need to get my Acid Reflux under control!!  Plus, sliming and or vomiting isn't fun either!  LOL

Yesterday, I only ate 1/2 cup of Oatmeal (I truly wasn't hungry).  Half for an early Dinner, and the other half for a late Dinner.  I ate the second half later, because I was up until 2 am and if I didn't eat something, I would have been scrounging around for something to eat even later, and would have chosen something bad for me!!  But this way, I ate the later meal at about 10:30, which gave it 3 1/5 hours to digest before I went to bed.  Which means that I only took in 150 calories yesterday!!  Because I eat my oatmeal plain, no milk, no butter, no fruit.

After I had been in bed for 1/2 hour, I had a couple bouts of Acid Reflex.  But luckily they were mild.  They were not the Acid tasting, Bile tasting Reflux's I usually have.  Nor did it taste like my food was trying to come up.  So I consider this a step in the right direction.  So other than those few Reflux's, I slept really well last night!  The first time in a long time..... :)  So lets see how today goes.  I need to try to take in more calories I know.  So I will start to drink my Protein drinks today and probably tomorrow as well.  After all, I need my Protein too!!  So, till next time.....

Aloha My Friends  :)

Thanks Kathy, I do too! But having had practically nothing to eat all day, helped I guess!
