Healthy hamburger helper !! Low-sodium ❤️🍽️

 

Tonight, I savored a nutritious dinner that successfully  comfort and wellness, empowering me to take control of my health. By creating a wholesome hamburger helper alternative using mild sweet sausage, diced onions and mushrooms, and fiesta blend cheese, I discovered a creative outlet for healthy cooking. My  recipe involves cooking sausage in a skillet, adding water and whole wheat pasta - an excellent option for those managing diabetes or seeking whole grains - and practicing mindful portion control. As I simmered the mixture on low medium heat, adding fiesta cheese blend and cooking veggies on the side, I created a truly satisfying and healthy meal for positive change. My levals of sugar response very well of my creative cooking! 🍽️🧅🧀🌾

So far no innsulin needed  yet !  It’s been a good week I have CHF Amy heart is week they are starting a new heart meds. For me on June 1 for my follow up. Visit ! Feeling hopeful they want my heart to be be 30 percent or stronger !  Sugar and salt is my enemy but I can do treats like this once in awhile I use my low carb keto breads I enjoy. 😊.   Hows your journey doing today. — feeling happy.

Heart and lung 🫁 follow up appointment!!!!

I feel truly blessed to have auntie Vickie Darouze's unwavering support during my medical visits. Rob's work schedule is getting hectic with extra days due to drivers on vacation. Dr. K is thrilled about my weight being in the safety zone and my CO2 levels improving dramatically. He advises me to be mindful of my diet while still embracing life and social connections, making wise choices when dining out. Although my blood pressure was extremely low and heart rate high, my labs look great, and both my heart rate and blood pressure were normal when resting. Interestingly, they only tested me while walking into clinic next time we’re bringing the wheel chair. Since my heart is still very weak.  Only God can make it strong 💪 again !

Low carb veggie 🥦 🍤 shrimp cheese quesadilla!!

 

Hi everyone happy Father’s Day ! Tonight before our dinner was ready I discovered a new way to make a quesadilla containing shrimp and broccoli that can be a great source through protein and truly uplift our well-being! Shrimp is a lean protein source and broccoli also contributes some protein. To tie us over until our meal is ready it hit the spot and lifted our spirits! So crispy and fulfilling!   485 mg for one quesadilla!

Hope everyone had a great weekend!  And a blessed week ahead !      💜💜💜💜💜💜

Healthy protein 😍❤️spaghetti and meatballs !

 

I'm feeling incredibly inspired today, thanks to my hospital stay last  week  and conversation with my dietitian! The focus on portion control has opened up new possibilities for me, and I'm eager to incorporate whole grain whole wheat 🌾

 and glucose in small amounts into my diet! Given our unique bodily responses, it's essential to experiment with different foods and observe how they affect us. Following a challenging week, I'm delighted to have discovered healthy ways to enjoy my favorite foods!

 My sugar intake has been responding  well , with a Type 2 reading of 143 two hours after eating. My hubby's mouthwatering meatballs in sauce with sautéed onions and mushrooms 🍄 were a delight! 

I'm grateful to be home, relishing nutritious food, lol! Each serving contained 374 mg with no added salt. #diabetictype2 #comfortfood #healthyfood #heartfailureawareness.

Heart ❤️ and lungs 🫁 journey ‘ June 7 ,8

June 8 I had a clinic appointment 

Hi everyone  lately it’s been rough I had too much fluid building up again it was just getting higher and higher !  

I knew I the drs would have me stay so I had all my bags ready and took it with me to my follow up appointment! 

I’m glad I didn’t resist anymore because I am feeling so much better !! 

It’s been one night in ICU and the next 2 days on regular floor !!   

I met my second specialist team they were amazing they explained everything so well !  Why my heart ❤️ was getting weeker 

1 ).   I had lots of fluid on 

I have been trouble wearing my by pap machine for sleeping 

When heart is working hard it retains a lot fluid ! :( 

I have been having anxieties at night so it’s been very difficult of me wearing the mask 😷. 

I truly do work at it !  

My sweet friend came by she use to take care of me and my momma when she lived at home she helped clean our place and cared for mommy.   She always brightens my day makes me laugh !!!😂.  

It was a fun surprise aunt Vickie brought miss Carol to see me !!!

I did two laps in the hallways!!

My cardiologist Doctor!!! He’s the best !  ❤️❤️🫶😍

God is faithful! I'm overjoyed to have graduated ICU!!! Now, I'm moving to the regular floor! I'll start oral lasics tomorrow and take things one day at a time! Thank you all for your prayers and messages!!! This journey is so difficult! I know we all go through our own journey! I've been praying as well. Our Father knows all hearts. I'm grateful for the next steps: 1) A meeting about home health care tomorrow, with Rob joining in via phone! 2) Setting up physical therapy at home! 3) A home nurse visit!

I enjoyed mmy surprise time with Aunt Vickie & Carol!

Heart ❤️ & 🫁 lungs journey

This journey started 9/25 

 First night in ICU from clinic, I had my bags ready since Thursday, knowing Monday they would keep me there. I feel peaceful, knowing I will feel better ❤️‍🩹, getting extra fluid off! Long day from 10:45 to 5, they got me my room ready on the ICU floor. I had some a-fibs, but they were short ones, and they doubled my Lasix and potassium, and I'm already feeling better! Just checking in on all of you, the providers love my recipe, so they say it's not what I'm doing wrong, since I had Covid last year, it would take longer for my heart to recover. Soooooo frustrated!!! Lol, can anyone relate? I'm still gonna fight! Keep going!😘🫶🙏#Godsgotthis. #heartfailure #heartlungsjourney
