Me, Myself & I... Lower carb, fasting, real live foods

Ahh not much we can do in the face of TOTM cravings I find. (I made some hot cocoa with cocoa powder and sweetener and a cup of my milk allowance when TOTM struck in phase 1) Good for you for getting the 'good' bread out for your toast and for doing your kettlercise class!

Have you had an MRI before? I had one a couple of years ago and managed to make it less stressful on myself by wearing clothes with no metal (at our hospital you can wear your own clothes in the machine as long as they agree - I phoned up to confirm ahead of time - they'll want to check that you don't have anything 'forgotten' like bra hardware - I wore a vest top with support shelf under a t-shirt and stretchy yoga pants with no little metal bits, and wooly socks as your feet stick out and you can't keep your shoes on - felt a bit daft on bus on the way there but was glad not to have to change at the hospital as I hate hospitals anyway) and practising calm deep breathing beforehand.

No not had an MRI before, it will be of my shoulder and they need to inject a dye into my shoulder joint.. Not looking forward to that bit! They said that I could bring my dressing gown, so was going to wear all comfortable clothes with no metal - so tracky bottoms and singlet plus my dressing gown which is nice and fluffy I am driving myself and am just hoping I can drive home again .. OH is looking after my boys ..

 

[Plumfoodie]

Sounds like you're all prepared - hope it goes well and the injection is ok! And that they figure out what is wrong with your poor shoulder!!

WI today, 1kg lost on week 2 of phase 1 - even with the odd meal/ snack not within rules.. Total lost in 2 weeks is 3 kgs ( 6.6lbs) so I am now 84.9 (187.1lbs) happy about that, let's continue

I was going to have smoked salmon for lunch as I got 3 packs for 10 from tescos in my shop last night, but OMGosh they were really revolting.. Like leather and Smelt very strong - took one bite and it's taken forever to get the taste out of my mouth!! Tesco refunded me .. But had to think of something else for lunch.. The pancakes I got for my son just seemed to jump in my mouth! Oh well they got rid of the taste of the salmon.. Didn't cure my hunger tho.. So now having tuna and salad with slices of Vogel.. Will be way over my cals today.. But heck that salmon was gross!! All 3 packs were the same.. Icky!!

Dinner roast chook with veg

Had my MRI today, got really upset about the injection for the dye contrast into my shoulder, started crying lol silly me.. But how i hate injections!! Technician had to have 2 goes putting the needle in - had 2 doses of local one in shoulder and one in the joint.. but was ok really! Feel silly about crying now.. But needle they put in my shoulder was really long! The actual scan was easy compared to the injection etc.. Almost went to sleep..

Hasn't eaten lunch as was so nervous.. Ended up with an egg mayo sandwich and peanut M&ms

My shoulder was stiff and numb for about an hour afterwards - would have hurt to drive home, so sat in cafe and read my iPhone kindle for an hour.. Shoulder is still bit stiff and sore but doesn't hurt at moment.. Should be fine tomorrow have massive headache - stress related I think!!

Having Chinese for dinner, as OH said don't worry about cooking dinner! Noodle soup.. Back to normal again tomorrow!

Next appt is 3rd may when I find out the results and what the plan is!!

 

[Lexie2005]

Sorry it upset you so much. Not long to wait for result though hey x

 

[LisaM1977]

Big hugs hun, hope they get you sorted x

 

[sarahaglover]

Hope they get it all sorted for you soon. Id have cried at the needle too although I did beg for epidural in labour lol

 

[alongwaytogo]

Glad it's all over and fingers crossed for the results x

My shoulder feels very sore still - like I have been punched really hard! Decided not to go to kettlercise class as I also feel bit out of sorts too, assuming its just the arthrogram injections from yesterday..
