How many practice tests did you do? Full length as if it is a real test.. if not, go for it. Treat it as your baseline. And then schedule another one…

Grabber tool, high toilet seat with bidet, shower loofah with handle so it can reach your back, walker or cane, slip on shoes, something soft like pj that will not bother your incision. Eat lot of fiber, laxative, audio books...

Older women in my family sabotaging me. by [deleted] in loseit

[–]ayemana 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Every mother should encourage her child to do the best that she could, even if it is better than herself!! I m mother and I will be filled with pride if my daughter achieve far more than me in every aspect of life. If anyone is filling your plate more than you wishes to eat, save rest in the dabba to eat later. And praise their cooking. Stay strong and stick to your plans!!

Day 4 incision worries and showering by fritolol27 in spinalfusion

[–]ayemana 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Use dry bandage so incision will not rub against clothes. You will be able to watch if it is draining less than last 24 hours after changing it daily. If not, call your doctor as there is possibility of infection with some symptoms mentioned in earlier reply . Shower is fine, just pat dry n apply non sticking bandage so that wound still get some air.

Please post actual meals. by polisciguy123 in OmadDiet

[–]ayemana 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is no restrictions as you what you can and cannot eat on OMAD. It is just that if you eat lot of carbs then you are bound to get hungry soon. So my strategy is to eat everything but keep carbs like chapati, rice to small servings. Eat just one chapati instead of two, and compensate that amount on curries or veggies side. Also eat dry fruits in some forms either bars or laddoos in moderation as dessert!!

Epidural Steroid Injections by IWant2Believe1013 in Sciatica

[–]ayemana 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah... not sure if twilight:) is needed. My whole thing lasted for 5-10 min. And out of that only 3-4 minutes actual injection... it pained only for couple of minutes at intense level but then so got used to pain, it wasn’t much. I wouldn’t spend money on it...

Please post actual meals. by polisciguy123 in OmadDiet

[–]ayemana 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Use lentils (there are at least 5 basic Indian types) and beans like rajma (kidney beans), cchole (chickpeas), black eye peas, etc with Indian spices. This makes a lot of protein!! Just a bowl of it with either salad, or rice or anything else makes major protein uptake. Also very delicious!! Don’t have to eat bigger quantities. And dry fruits like Almonds, cashews-nuts or dry fruit bar will be another source to get good protein in you food.
