Fasts and feasting

I made my appointment for a check up BEFORE the seasonal feasting begins.
I thought it was not a fasting lab, but I called just in case. It was fasting, so like @myklj999 I will do lab work tomorrow.
I had already eaten sausage and eggs when I called. Not good for running a lipid panel.
I have nothing better to do tomorrow anyway, except cook.
I have lost about ten pounds so I am hoping my numbers all look good.
Turkey is not bad for you anyway. So I will be safe there.

@GardenGerty I know that temptation. I feel it too when Eid Mubarak comes. We have traditional food called lontong sayur. They use vegetables curry here and it contains coconut milk. Too much coconut milk makes your stomach feel heavy and uncomfortable.

@Cheyee I do not use coconut milk, except I think I have had a soup with it. The vegetable curry should be really good for you.

@GardenGerty I am usually up about an hour before I eat. But my belly is used to getting food at that time.

They were good and the doctor was helpful. May get some of my pain fixed as well.

Good luck with your blood test, I hate fasting tests unless it is the first thing in the morning.

Thanks for the well wishes. It is the same ten pounds that seems to go up and down for me. I am glad it is down right now.
