Topic: RE: Great Weekend !! + how much water are you drinking?
Exactly! I just had a hard time with drinking constantly. Hopefully it will get easier as it gets warmer.

Topic: RE: Help
Sorry that you had a bad time. I had some whitefish turn on me last week. I have had salmon, but one time when I ate it. Like you, don't know .. it made me feel bad as well. I am mad at all fish right now. I will try again later this week. I can't have the melba toast. Maybe.
Good luck, it is hard figuring this food stuff out again.

Topic: RE: Admitting to my cravings how about you?
I looove carrot cake. I had to bake for church. I baked 3 different things. I didn't eat any. It was a Spagetti Dinner. So, I just drank and made people eat my desserts. I feel like a sugar pusher now. Good news though, Saturday, I went out to eat. It was fun and I had cottage cheese. Just have to get this all figured out.

Topic: RE: Breakfast
For breakfast I have one of the following:
Cream of Wheat with a bit of FF milk and "fake" brown sugar
Egg Beater omelette stuffed with FF cottage cheese or shredded cheddar cheese
Smoothie (1/2 banana, 1/4 c. FF milk, 1 scoop protein powder, 4 oz Activia Strawberry yogurt)
Cottage Cheese with SF preserves
The smoothie is HIGH in protein, but also about 300 cal.

Topic: RE: Help
So sorry you had that experience. I've been able to do okay on seafood so far. But I haven't even tried any type of toast (melba, wheat, etc.). I'm afraid. The salmon may have been a little rich for you right now...try again in a week or so.
Feel better....you'll make it!

Topic: RE: Admitting to my cravings how about you?
I went to brunch today with my family. I sat and watched everyone, I MEAN EVERYONE load up their plates at least twice (can't have the pastries touching the sausage you know). I so wanted some french toast with syrup; cheesecake; biscuits and sausage gravy. IT WAS HARD! But having recently had a poor experience with dry tuna and dried prunes, I refrained. Didn't want to lose it at the club.
So, I had one scrambled egg with cheese in it, and 1/2 cup cantaloupe/watermelon combo. Lots of water with lemon.
I'm sure it will get easier, and with the bad experiences on some foods, well, that's part of our new tool!

Topic: Admitting to my cravings how about you?
So has anyone had any cravings and has anyone tried to eat things that they use to eat?
For me I all of a sudden had a craving for something sweet. I ate a nutrigrain bar definitely made me sick. Also yesterday I ate like six hershey kisses definitely not a good thing for me. I got this feeling like my throat was tightening and my stomach was going to explode. Seriously I am still learning but I have learned I wont try anymore sweets especially where I get very ill. I should have just kept to my yoplait light yogurt .I have learned my lesson and will only eat what I am suppose to eat.

Topic: RE: Breakfast
Thanks for all the tips guys...I definitely need them :) I got the pleasure of learning what the "foamies" are tonight at dinner so I think my tummy is very sensitive today. I think in the morning I'll try some oatmeal or cream of wheat...maybe go easy on things tomorrow..stick to a smoother consistancy for a day and let things calm down. I do agree with the person who said that very soft scrambled eggs go down easier...I did a soft boiled egg smashed up and it was always sooo good. I just realized how much cholesterol and fat is in an egg so was trying to go healthier lol.
Guess it didn't work out so well! :)

Topic: RE: weekend of "wow"s
Congrats everyone :) I always love hearing about peoples wow moments.
I haven't really had true ones any yet, but I have always had a really big stomach (PCOS) so fitting in some booths got to be uncomfortable. Last night hubby and I went out and I sat in a fairly small one and had some room to spare. I was excited :)
