Still here

I've been bad at updating. I'm doing well. Most of my time is spent either walking around or doing exercises. I'm trying to get my strength back. It's not easy. I think I did too much exercising the other day because now my right shoulder is sore. It feels like I strained it a bit. It's not much pain, just enough to be annoying

Glad to know you are doing better. Try not yo overdo it.

This is what I found out about your oatmeal question:

Thank you so much! That helps a lot. I need to find steel cut oats now. It's the over processed crap that I need to avoid.

Also you will have to be careful about the fruit you eat. some fruits are full of hidden sugars while others are lower in natural sugars: https://www.sharecare.com/health/diet-nutrition/slideshow/fruits-actually-hidden-sugar-bombs#slide-1

Fresh pineapple is good in moderation and is full of potassium and magnesium as well. Do you have a Sam's Club membership? They have some good deals on fresh fruits.

Thanks! I'm trying to research everything I eat, but it's difficult. I was used to watching what I eat because of allergies and my kidney stones. I was already eating low fat and staying away from bad fat (difficult because of my soybean allergy). Now I have to watch sugar too.
