Well, today was an "interesting" day.

Had allot of responsibilities at church this morning, so I got up earlier to eat, so that I could be done with the diarrhea before service started.

7am: Banana Bread Oatmeal

1pm: (Way too long between, ack!--But, Sundays are like that) We went out to eat, choose a buffet-type place, so at least I had options.
White Rice with Bourbon Chicken (anyone know what's in that???)
Plain Baked Potato (just salt and pepper)
Spoonful of cubed turkey
A few gummi bears (from the ice cream topping bar, lol) LOL...you steel those too!! My Grandma does that....LOL

5pm: Luna Bar

7pm:
Sweet Potato w/ Cinnamon
Few more bites of chicken? Half a serving maybe? It had Ms. Dash Garlic and Herb marinade on it. Just read in Heather's Book to be careful about garlic . Any advice on that? If fresh bothers you, then try adding garlic powder to your dishes.
2 RTKs
Obligatory one bit of easter chocolate LOL

9:30pm:
Soft Pretzel (the frozen kind, a bit of freezer burn, so not that good, but definitely safe)
Honey Mustard and salt
2 RKT

I think I did fairly well on calories today. I sure felt like I ate allot. I don't really know though, since so much of it was not prepared by me. that is where I get frustrated too.... eating out make it really hard to know for SURE what your getting....

Oh, and I have a question about bloating. I'm just hugely bloated, almost increasingly so. In the past 3 or 4 days, my stomach has grown about 3 inches around, maybe more. I look suddenly "very" pregnant. (Enough to raise some well-meaning concern from close friends, who know that because of medical reasons, I simply cannot get pregnant.) But, at the same time, I'm still losing weight, or at least maintaining. Is bloating truly just gas, so it is separate from weight?? I'm confused. Is there anything to do or take, to help with it? I'm already drinking enough tea to float away in. Also, how much could drinking from a straw be a contributing factor? Really, try loosing the straw.... the sucking in of the air while drinking is not helping you at all.
