Adiposemann's Notizen, 07 Jul 23

Can't say that sounds appealing, but I currently have a nasty toothache, so not much seems appealing right now, especially cold... eeek! 

This is the first image/journal FS has allowed me to post in days... getting tired of that real fast. I have done the sign out sign in thing several times. with no change. this image got through by a random fluke somehow. I may just give up trying to post, it isn't worth the frustration. I like the journal though, even if some of the numbers are a bit out of whack according to nutritional information from Trusted Universities. But I am not here to fix the site, just use the Journal, and listen to my dietician tell me what she would like to see happen. With tainted numbers, I will have to correct her on the numbers FS uses, but whatever, all these site are pretty much the same, ya get what ya pay for ;)  

Wow according to FS... red Cabbage (cooked, no fat added) has Sodium 538mg/cup/70 grams The first place I checked was the AGS, and they have it at 12mg/100g, even WebMD has it at 12mg/70g... that's quite the discrepancy.  

Yes, their code definitely needs an overhaul. I have to post pics via the app, which I hate using (I hate cellphones at the best of times). As for their numbers, it depends on who input the item. Since users can add food items, it can be wildly off. But it is what it is, I suppose. Nice to see you back, thought you might have disappeared, as I hadn't seen journals in a while (or were they not showing up in my feed?) 

Nothing is posting to show up in the feed.. and ya, I am not into slamming my phone full of apps. I find it counter-productive to fight with the tiny keyboard on a phone... just creates tension I do not need in my life. right now... my bp is 154/90, so we are trying to figure out why. I also seem to be running some kind of lung/bronchial tube infection, which may be contributing to it. Before we go to statins, we want to make sure we have eliminated all the other issues. I also think the chronic pain thing has my cortisol levels a bit higher than normal. which can also create a sort of fight or flight signal, that will elevate heart rate, BP and so on... so probably more blood tests on the way... plus need blood tests before my next Aroga meeting. Aroga is the outfit here that covers the bariatric end of things... and they supply a Dietician that wants a journal to be able to see what I have been eating... I hope she is experienced enough to know the numbers on here are terribly skewed. I don't even know if I can refer to them as 'loose guidelines' some of them are so far out of whack.  

Yikes, yes infections can play havoc with your numbers, BP and sugars, speaking from experience. I'm sure the dietician can figure things out, even if she doesn't take FS numbers, just looking at your intake will help. Fingers crossed they can figure out what's going on before they need to prescribe meds. 

I wonder if FS would qualify for a health tech grant to improve it. 🤔  

Wouldn't that be wonderful Chowser123, I like the setup and layout, but it really does need to be dialed in.
