Lunch: At King's, a bunch of chicken and rice and vanilla ice creamme with chocolate pudding and two glasses of "Diet Pepsi"
Dinner: about ½ of a six inch Subway chicken samwiche with mayoI've barfed twice since eating this small amount of that dinner and I'll need to go buy some Pepito...
Lunch:
Snack: a cup of coffee followed by sharp chest pain...
Dinner: about ½ of a 6" subway sub (chicken breast on whole wheat) and water
I was feeling nausiated when I was looking at the selections...
I tried taking Tums but it didn't help. I ended up barfing twice and after Kathie got home (and after I finished watching Eureka, we went to Dillions and I bought a bottle of Mylanta. Now, Mylanta's label says Ask a doctor or pharmacist before use if you are taking any drug for...diabetes
Well, I'm diabetic so I was supposed to ask the pharmacist (but the Dillions pharmacy was closed for the night) and I wanted to get a good night's sleep. The stomach pain had dropped off but minor pain becomes major when I try to sleep. So, I decided to accept the short term risk for the short term gain of being pain free and being able to sleep at night!
Pre-Bed Snack: Water and then some more water...
Lunch: two largish egg salad sanwhiches and a can of DP
Dinner: roast beef, baked potatoe chunks with onion, creamed corn, that cabbage stuff, two biscuits with honey and apple crisp for desert.
I had a gin-n-tonic before going to bed.Around midnight, I felt a very sharp pain just below my sternum. I rolled around in bed, hoping the pain would go away and went back to sleep for about an hour. Then, I went to the bathroom and took a couple of tums. It didn't do any good. I sat on the toilet and waited for the pain to go away. Kathie was worried and asked me when I was going back to bed. So, I went back to bed.
I repeated this cycle of get up, drink some water in the hall bathroom, fart, sit on the toilet and read an excellent book "Viet Nam Above The Treetops: A Forward Air Contrtoller Reports" by John F. Flanagan) for a while and then go back to bed. The last two times, I was feeling like I was about to barf. I finally put my finger down my throat and after I got done barfing, I drank some water, went back to bed and fell asleep immediately. The pain was gone.
This apparently was a really bad case of GERD but it damn near sent me to the Emergency Room!
(1,2,6)
Snack: little cookies...once again, too much sugar...

Snack: Some peppered sausage slices, some cheddar cheese (sliced) on
Ritz Crackers with stolen yellow mustard ("borrowed" from a bottle a
co-worker had labeled with his initials and put in the the office refer
- sorry 'bout that TW!)
Lunch: bacon samwhich made from the bacon left over from my wife's
breakfast yesterday and water...
NOTE: this is not your average foodies' self-absorbed food blog; it is
the foodie blow of a type 2 diabetic who is gradually losing the war
with sugar. Years ago, before I was diagnosed, I used to sneer at my
youngest brother (a type 1) for his problems with blood sugar. I said
"I would never have problems with controlling my blood sugar". Well,
God or genetics or simply my mindset has conspired to show me the error
of my ways! Anyway, my family MD has started talking about putting me
on an injectable drug ("Lizard Spit") and I am insisting on pills!
Pills don't hurt when they go down, I'm not punching a hole in my skin,
which means forgoing the opportunity for an infection (yeah!) and did I
mention? pills don't hurt going down buy I know how stabbing myself does
(a little) and I've seen how it hurts to inject a fluid into one's self...)
Lunch: boiled chicken with boiled rice and coffee
Snack: four "Little Debbies" sugar coated donuts
Dinner: steak, baked potatoe and aspargus and a bottle of MDG
Snack: one Reese's Cup
Lunch: little bowl of plain yogurt with strawberries and water then a
piece of boneless, skinned chicken boiled in White Zin and served on a
slice of sour dough bread
Snack: another cup of coffee...
Dinner: boiled chicken and a small amount of spaghetti noodles and water...
Lunch: A peanut butter samwhich on sour dough bread and water
Dinner: boiled skinless, boneless chicken with speghetti noodles in a
broth made from both an onion and a chicken soup mix
Lunch: Appleby's for chicken and steak fahietas and rice plus two
glasses of "Diet Coke" and a "shot glass" desert (choclate moose)
Dinner: steak, baked potatoe and broccoli, with a bottle of Michelob Lager
A couple of hours after going to bed (several hours after eatting dinner), I was
barfing to reduce the stomach contents and thus, be able to get back to sleep. I should have insisted on a new prescription for Nexium...
Lunch: the half Subway meatball sub left over from yesterday and some potatoe wedges from Wally World (and water)
Dinner: steak, baked potatoe, boiled broccoli and water
Snack (after mowing the lawn): the last of the ice creamme
Lunch: a half of a Subway meatball sandwich, chips and a Diet Coke
Snack: another four Little Debbie sugar donuts...
Dinner: boiled pork chops, boiled potatoes and boiled sour krat and iced
water
I was quite pleased with the results!Snack: I had a gin-n-tonic after I got home and then Kathie offered me another one. I asked for half the first and she said "I'll just make it a single shot." Humm, that is what I thought the first was; fortunately, there were no side effects, stomach wise...
Snack: coffee and four more "Little Debbie" sugar coated donuts (maybe
I'll get lucky tomorrow and not sucumb?)
Lunch: low fat yogurt with strawberries, then (at home), a peanut
butter sandwich and later, some ice creamme (given the severe stomach
pain I started feeling, it looks like yogurt and ice cramme exceeded my
"latose intolerance" limits...)
Dinner: Boston Market Meatloaf (with homestyle mashed potatoes &
gravy), six little Oreo cookies and iced water
Lunch: At Casey's Cowtown: French dip sandwich, French fries and water
Snack: some vanilla ice creamme with chocolate mixed in
Dinner: the left over rice pilof and beef, some little cookies and water
(I was too hungry and therefore, ate too much. I just hope I can keep
it down...)
