Cravings
Hi Carol!!
I believe i was 7 weeks and on "Soft Foods" when Amy emailed me and told me I could have toast, soft tacos, and pita bread. I havent tried the pita bread because it looks thick to me. I like the Sara Lee 45 and Delightful Wheat with Honey bread and I eat peanut butter on it (ive used regular or PB2 for less calories) or cinnamon and splenda and for tortillas I like the La Tortilla Factory Low Carb small tortillas they are wheat. They are 50 calories and 5 gr of protein. Ive used them for turkey tacos, chicken wraps and tuna salad wraps.
I hope this helps!! If you have any questions email or call Amy, but im positive that its ok for you now!!

Cravings are normal - usually it's head hunger. Lately - my little craving has been bacon.. someone walked by my cubicle with a warm sandwich with bacon and I swear the smell made me feel like the puppy in the "beggan strips" commercial!!! They were lucky I didn't leap over the wall and drool. ;-)
As you get further out you'll find you can 'taste' many of those things you crave (once you discover you likeliness to dump - so start small just in case). When the PB craving**** me I was able to satisfy it with a PB flavored shake. Someone on the message boards recommended the PB2 powder that is essentially a peanut butter powder. You can mix with water and spread, or add into foods.
Breads STILL don't sit well with me - so test the waters very carefully.
