Are you a morning person or a night owl?

@soheb I don't want to be a morning person my body gives me no choice 😭

@soheb oh no I've always been like this even when I was a child I'd be up at half 7 to watch cartoons! During lockdown when I was furlouged my body still woke me up at 7! (I just made up for it with naps) 😂

@soheb I've figured out what is weird about Mast, is there anyway on the home screen to change it so we just see initial posts? Not replies or threads? 🤔

It’s important to not overeat and looking at calories is a way to achieve that.

But when I take a look at the total amount of calories of just the PKU formulas, it’s a meal. (550 calories). 😒

The only way I found dealing with that is intermittent fasting (time restricted window), eating only 2 meals of food and carefully spread formulas during the day.

@poconnor @pcublogue @soheb I completely feel this, going from tablets to drinks my calorie intake went crazy, I was pretty much having a forth meal worth of calories.
I gained so much more weight during precon that I now have to try and shift, as well as the normal pregnancy weight gain 😅

One thing I always get stuck on when eating with is remembering to eat and remembering what I actually have in my cupboards!

So I have my fruit and snack bowls, all filled either prescription snacks, less than half a gram or completely protein free snacks, so I'm less likely to go for the snacks that are more interesting but heavier in protein (yoghurt, crisps etc)

@soheb yes!! I have these stick on whiteboard panels you can draw on!

@poconnor @soheb handy for when you're in the middle of cooking, covered in sauce and you can't remember what protein potatoes are and your phone is in the other room 😂

I've crocheted myself a pouch to put my microtabs in!

With added bonus of making myself a little counter so I can keep track of what tablets I'm on in the day. 💊⏰

Watched yesterday.

DA🧓: The sperm whales used to be hunted nearly to extinction

Whales🐋:😭💀

🧓: but then whaling for their oil was banned world wide

🐋:🥳

🧓: their numbers have gone from hundreds to nearly 35,000

🐋:🎉🎊🎉

🧓: but this mean orcas have adapted a new ways of hunting their calf as their prey, seperating them from their parents to drown and eat them.

🐋: OH FFS, GIVE US A BREAK!

Today on 'why am I doing this to myself' I'm making myself a pouch for my tablets, using double stitch and two different colours for the chequered pattern!

So, I dreamt that I underwent a surgery where I was implanted with a gadget just a little smaller than a credit card and that was supposed to drastically decrease the amount of phenylalanine I had in my body. 😳

I'm not sure what to make of that…

ClairTheGinger,
@ClairTheGinger@pkutalk.com avatar

@soheb @pcublogue I was intrigued and going to ask for more details or think about this more but I didn't know if it was weird to ask 🤣🤭

Where does the credit card go? Is it inserted like a card in atm machine or laid flat like contactless, inserted in the liver or brain or arm!?!

I'M FINALLY BACK ON THE MICROTABS! 🎉🎉🎉

This feels like the end of a very long, hard nearly 3 year journey (started pre-contraception diet in 2021!) but I'm so damn proud of myself for getting through it, and to come out the otherside with a beautiful, happy and healthy baby.

No more carrying around extra water, powder everywhere, bag explosions, spilling on carpet, feeling sick from being too full, midnight forcing to get last one in, but just most importantly NO MORE DRINKS! 🥺

ClairTheGinger,
@ClairTheGinger@pkutalk.com avatar

@caoimhin The secret with the microtabs is to take them like you're taking a shot 😂

I start with taking just a sip of water to hold in your mouth, which stops them sticking to your mouth, tip the whole lot in, and then take a second big glug of water to get them down!

You can do it in two halves just to get the practice in, but having that initial water in makes all the difference as well as the speed which means you don't have tablets flying everywhere!

You know you've got when the souvenir your mums gets you from going to America is full fat Dr Pepper 😂

(Fun fact, all Dr Pepper in the UK, both 'normal' and Zero contain Aspartame, which makes you wonder why they bother with Zero??)

Been on medication for 2 months now and it's such a relief. It's of course not a cure but just means I can finally wade through my brain of non-stop thoughts and press pause once and a while!

@soheb just nice to we're not being told off like I'm personally punching dolphins in the face.
This might be a hot take and yes the environment is important and animals but I think majority of general public are pretty aware now and are doing their best in a depressed cost of living crisis, guilt the damn mega corporations and governments that don't recycle, with your cute turtles!
I just wanna watch a programme about animals, damn.
