Bariatric Advantage Calcium Citrate Raspberry Chews

I don't know what happened - but the NEW RASPBERRY CALCIUM CITRATE CHEWY BITES from Bariatric Advantage are freaking awesome. 

Blood in an elevator.

Long ago and far away, and repeatedly on this blog, I have had to Stop, Drop And Food Journal.  

I know food posts are likely The Most Boring Posts To Ever Read, and sometimes (honestly) will scare the bejeezus out of newbies at weight loss surgery (which is part of the reason I fail to share my intake here much anymore) because "Holy shit, you can eat HOW MUCH?"  

In fact -- going back to my OWN archives -- it shocks me how little I ate at times.  I would give my pancreas, and temporal lobe to get that feeling back.  Or, alternatively?  $10,000 for a band on my pouch.

I know it's not out of the range of what is normal for my stage:  other similarly ranged post ops can eat like I can --- many -- much, much worse and in much larger quantities.  But still, seeing my old posts with "half a protein bar," and "half a cup of cottage cheese" makes me want to poke my eyeballs out.  And, before THAT, with the bite(s) of food being enough.  

HA. I have to keep a journal, at least for a bit, for the endocrinologist.  (He's reading. Hi there.)  I have to journal intake and reactions via blood sugar.  I used to do this quite often until I got flustered with the fact that it was pretty constant, and that I couldn't differentiate, and that I sort of live in a consistent state of hypoglycemia or feeling like it's on the way.  Add in the seizures, which have similar or identical symptoms - I gave up.  It is tiring.  Eat, crash, eat to fix, crash, eat, crash, eat...

So, you are likely to see a week or six of food logs with blood sugar readings.  Good times ahead!
