Slept better and longer last night, not so many wake ups, and pain didn't bother me, APNEA mask did slip some though. Mouth dry on wake up.
Ate a cup of the oat groats I cooked last night (they take quite a while to cook) so I precooked them, and added a pat of butter, & a bit of the low calorie brown sugar to them. My friend suggested I get some Irish oatmeal or steel cut oats. The oat groats are very cheap (not that oatmeal is expensive) but if I knew how much the steel cuts were ground I could probably do them myself in my mill. The oat fiber is what I need for the cholesterol though it isn't really very high, the addition of the oats might bring it down to closer to ideal. I am also takin 3 of the fish oil caps per day, but keeping them in the freezer. I read where if you keep them frozen they 1) don't go rancid and 2) you don't burp fish taste and so far that has proven true. They add 30 calories a day but that's not a big deal even over the long haul for the omega 3 fish oil. Since I eat very little fish---have limited my tuna because of the mercury--the supplemental fish oil should help make up for that. I also added 1 oz of almonds to my diet as well.
The oat groats are very satisfying, and even by noon, when I am usually hungry, I was not hungry. Went to town just after noon and didn't get home til about 5:30 and wasn't really hungry until after that. I ate supper (the veggie soup) and then was comfort eating the rest of the night with snacks almost continually. But still stayed under my calorie amount.
I got a recipe for oatmeal "cookies" that I am going to modify with splenda and I think I can make it for about 90 calories per cookie and 60 mg sodium--I will use oat meal and oat flour both so it is totally oats, add raisins and chopped nuts to it and make a "granola bar" or "cookie" that is a half of a meal or a snack. I have to wait to get some splenda though, I'm out and didn't realize it...I will get unsalted butter which should reduce the amount of sodium in it too by about half...and substitute apple sauce for part of the butter for the first batch and see how that goes. Might also put some dried apple slices in it as well.
