What did you eat today?

[emily_in_nc]

I drank all of that stuff and my doctor said that I still "wasn't cleaned out" that well. Who knows. My DH was so out of it when he had his, he called me from his cell phone in recovery and never remembered it. He slept for most of the rest of the day. I was wide awake during the whole thing, conversed with both the doctor and nurse, and watched the images on the monitor. I didn't feel pain, but I was awake.

I hope I sleep through it and after -- if I'm going to blow a PTO (paid time off) day, I might as well get some rest. My DH was awake for his, but my step-father said he totally snoozes through his. I snooze through "conscious sedation" at the dentist so may be more likely to be out of it. Neither my DH or I has been to this particular doc, so we don't know how much anesthesia they'll give, though I have to have my DH take me there and back due to the sedation.

Best of luck emilync. My partner had one...I'm not sure what he ate or whatever afterwards, but it exhausted him for 1-2 days afterwards. He is abit older than you or I --over 10 yrs. and more.

And this is a guy who bikes up mountains with loaded panniers.

But results indicate he's fine.

I have not been eating in a diligently healthy way in past few weeks. part of it is stress, just alot of stuff to do before making another switch in life.. the head spins.

2 whole wheat waffles with walnuts and cranberries, with a bowl of blueberries, strawberries, oranges, 3 slices turkey bacon, coffee

turkey burger with avocado (no bun), black beans, an apple

half a bottle of water+Nuun on short (11 mile) but hilly and windy ride

2 pieces of Machengo cheese after core work/weights

dinner at restaurant: lamb burger with some kind of cheese (I scraped most of it off), tomato and Greek yogurt. One potato pancake (we were at a deli), and a beer.
