ER with Dad :( Stayed on Track 100%
Oh my poor father. Just sitting in his chair feeling just fine and the doctors office calls to say his Potassium levels are too high and he needs to be in the Emergency Room immediately.
I was on my way out the door to meet my husband at work, planned a walk at the Y and a dinner out.
Things worked out ok, Dads fine, hubby and I did have a healthy meal (not the steak house we had intended) but we didn’t make the Y.
We ended up eating at the Fire Mountain which is a buffet. It offers so many different meat and vegetable choices I knew we would be fine. We left feeling satisfied….ending the meal with some sugar free jello 
Dads fine today, I’m stronger then ever and looking forward to the 24th as my weigh in for the first South Beach Weigh in!!!
Hey Shanna???? doesn’t that date ring a bell…giggle giggle…big big day isn’t it?
I am a little bit confused, as I read Jo’s blog about diet soda. It isn’t allowed? OMG…its the one thing I look forward to in the evening. Its my sweet treat. I only have about 8 ounces, not a whole lot. Everyday I ‘m learning more and more. Thank you everyone who is giving me support and helping me choose the right foods. It truly can be a challenge in the beginning!!!

Read the title to your blog and my heart sank! I am so glad that everything worked out fine with your dad. My boss’s mom was admitted to the hospital on Tuesday for high potassium levels and they are STILL trying to get hers under control. BIG KUDOS to you for sticking to SB! I like the part where you said that you are stonger than ever. Keep it up buddy Jane!
Sorry to hear your Dad was in the ER. Glad is ok though. Good job on making good choices at the buffet. you are allowed Diet soda on South beach, just try to keep at limited.
Sorry to hear about your dad, but glad to hear he is okay.
Good job sticking to plan.
Have a good one!
Glad Dad is ok. I HATE little scares like that, don’t you?
HIGH FIVERS for being 100% on plan. You are THE woman!
Diet sodas allowed. Jo is nixing them because of the caffiene interfering with her sleep.
I will see YOU on THE MOST SPECIAL DAY OF MARCH 24, 2008… a date that will go down in the history books (our journal history books that is).
Big HUGGGGGGGGGGGGGGS,
Shan
I am so glad your dad is better. That is never a fun situation. Good job on the eats though!
So sorry to hear about the scare with your dad! Im glad that everything turned out okay! WTG on the eating! Buffets can be difficult but sounds like you did a great job! Good luck on your first WI!
Oh, Jane, I am SO glad that your dad is okay. That potassium and sodium thing is always getting askew in heart stuff! You all take such good care of him - and now of you! I am just so happy for that. Sorry for the scare - the must’ve been awful! HUGS to you. Congrats on good eats and on the excitement over the weigh in!
