Hey melissa,
thanks for all the suggestions. Shrimp is something I love but try to limit it due to the high iodine and cholesterol amts in it. I never thought about sloppy joes. I do eat egg salad occasionally along w/ soft boiled and hard boiled eggs. Didn't think of the chicken pot pies either.
Again thanks for the suggestions. And I agree, talking about all this food is making me hungry.

Evelyn,
you see no seafood because I can't stand it w/ the exception of shrimp. Every thing else makes me gag.
I do occasionally eat chilli, stews? They're not my favorite thing and I always have a hard time making them. If you have an easy recipe for one I'd appreciate it.
Thanks for the suggestions.

HEY TERESA,
I'M TAKING VISTA VITAMINS. THEY'RE SPECIFICALLY MADE FOR WEIGHT LOSS SURGERY PATIENTS. I ALSO TAKE IRON, 130mg DAILY AND A SUB-LINGUAL B-12 TAB.
THE VISTA VITAMIN LIT TELLS YOU TO TAKE 1pkg IN THE AM AND 1 IN THE PM FOR A TOTAL OF 8 PILLS BUT I ONLY TAKE ONE pkg A DAY, TWO TABS IN AM AND TWO IN PM AND THEY SEEM TO BE WORKING. MY LABS HAVE ALL BEEN GOOD SINCE THE BEGINING.
THEY'RE A LITTLE EXPENSIVE BUT I GUESS WORTH IT SINCE MY LABS HAVE ALWAYS BEEN GOOD.
THEY CAN ONLY BE ORDERED ON LINE @ www.vistavitamins.com
HOPE THIS HELPS,
DONNA, SFY

Donna,
Not sure if I can be a lot of help with recipes Felicia is the recipe one but I can def give you food ideas. I am eating what seem like tons these days but I am doing higher and more frequent due to the little guy.
OK here are some ideas that are not on your list:
*Seafood of any type. I love peel and eat shrimp with ****tail sauce
*Bean and cheese burrito insides
*Pork loin on the grill - just marinate it in italian dressing over night then grill and serve with my fav sauce of three parts apricot jam and 1 part horseradish sauce
*sloppy joe insides
*egg salad
*chicken pot pie insides
OK making me hungry now so I will leave it at that but these are at least a few ideas
Hugs,
Melissa

Hey there Teresa,
I will give you what I was taking pre pregnancy. Hubby takes the same (now).
When I very 1st got pregnant I had my labs done (Aug) and they actually came back better than ever before.
OK here is the line up:
1 Twin labs daily one caps - I get at Vitamin Shoppe
2 Calcium Natures Science - 500 mg so a total of 1000 mg a day - I order these on line
2 B-12 sublingual dots GNC store brand - 500 mcg so a total of 1000
2 B-1 250 mg for a total of 500 - Vitamin Shoppe brand
Except for the sublingual under the tongue B-12 they are all capsules and very easy to swallow.
OK now since getting pregnant I have changed everything to a chewable ( prescrip prenat) or have had to open the capsules. I have had horrible morning sickness so that has changed that but I have not changed any of the amounts.
Not sure if that was the info you were looking for but my labs were great and still are great so something must be working. I know there is a lot of controversy on the B-12 and if the shot is better or not but I have done great with the dots so I am going to stick with it.
I hope everything comes back great and or is something simple and you can just maybe add a little more of something.
Hugs,
Melissa
