Oh, you can eat ground beef. I ate a meatloaf lean cuisine and it did not sit well with my stomach, so now I just eat ground turkey.
Topic: RE: Help I hate eating
I know exactly how you feel I had my surgery on the 31st of DEC and I hate almost all food and how food smells. The one thing I like to eat is beans, I found they are easy to digest and they have protein in them.
Topic: RE: Yay!! NSV - almost 6 weeks out
I'm nervous about weighing myself but may do so tomorrow morning. I'd been stalled for a bit and I'm hoping that I've broken my plateau when I get on the scale. I had 47 lbs. off as of last week. I'm hoping I clear 50 lbs. tomorrow.
I lost something like 42 lbs. in 1 month and my sister, who's in medicine, said it's not uncommon to come to a screeching halt after loosing that type of weight in 4 weeks.
Her specialty isn't Gastro so I'm hoping she's right. I will be very disappointed if I get on and it doesn't say I'm down more.
Wish me good luck and good for you, too!!!

Great news! I seem to loosing everywhere but on my waist so I'm still waiting for a smaller size. I have had to retire some of my old jeans, though. Just too big.
How much weight have you lost so far?

I had only lost 27 lbs at 6 weeks too. You're doing fine.

It seems to me like you are eating " too heavier" *( if that is a word) foods at this stage. I was pureeing my foods in the blender after coming off of liquards, try this and see if it helps...............

I am of the mentality that low carb is best during our rapid WL window from what I have learned from those that have gone down this road before me. Protein first is everyone's rule so why take chances.
Some times we may need a little something else, I have definitely been there on my journey already, too. One Pringles chip and I'm good though.
No pizza for me. I just can't do it. The crust part is what scares me. That will balloon up and you could face an issue of getting stuck, etc. I will however, eat the toppings (cheese & meat) off of 1 slice if my family is having pizza for dinner. But no crust!
Bread? Nope, have not had that since way before surgery. Will not consider trying it unless it's low carb/high protein either and probably not for several more months.
Crackers? I have had some mini saltines here and there due to nausea. The mush easily and I have been able to tolerate them, but I do not eat them every day or even every week. Only when I feel extremely nauseated and nothing else seems to work.
Do what feels right to you, but definitely keep your focus on protein first! You're doing great!!!

I know what you mean. I was cravin a ham sanich with real mayo slathered on there the other day but that passed. I have had fat free pretzels when I was in a pinch when I was at the hospital when my hubby was in there and that was the only decent thing to choose from. I know if I started eating nuts, and all those other bad things you mentioned I would graze on them everytime I passed them so I aint gonna go there. Fat free or low fat saltine crackers are ok and they have helped me especially if I am feeling nausea. My Mom always said that the sodium in them settles your stomach. It works for me.
