Bored already

Someone help. I'm already bored with my food choices. I've eaten SF pudding, SF jello, Cream of Broccoli soup, unsweetened applesauce, coco wheats.

Problem is I'm such a picky eater. What else did you eat in those first 4 weeks that might wet my appetite?

Do you like oatmeal?  You can make all sorts of different flavors. Grits are good too.

 You could make the smoothies that the girls have taught me to make and they are yummy.  Tons of possiblities with those....

I made mine with 1 C. milk, 6 ice cubes and added SF pudding (whatever flavor you like) to taste.. I started adding the pudding mix by the teaspoonful till I got it the way I wanted it.  Oh, and I put my protein powder in it too.  You could make up some and freeze it in smaller portions.  I got some small cups at wally world and put mine in the freezer so I can pull one out when I want one.

I got some baby food stage 1 or 2 and added a bit of seasoning and it helped alot.  I love green beans and really missed them.  The baby food helped.

Mashed potatoes will be ok after a little bit longer from now.  Mix them really thin at first.  Add some cheddar cheese... Yummy.

I know it is one of the hardest things to get through.  But you have to go easy so it has a chance to heal your pouch. 

In a couple weeks you will start introducing more foods to your pouch and it will make you feel great.

Glad you have an appetite again!

Huge hugs,
Tracy

Tracy, does it have to be regular oatmeal? Can it be the instant kind? 

STOP IT NOW.  You are only 6 days out.
GET OVER IT.
YOUR LIFE NEEDS TO CHANGE.

Only the yellow sheet.  Don't fantasize over food.  Read a book.  Walk and Walk some more.
Sip water.

Oh did I say walk......... Get a good pedometer and get 10000 steps a day.

I love Carb Master vanilla yogurt from Kroger. It has 12 grams of protien in a container. It is very good with vanilla protien powder and dry sf jello in it. Blend it with ice and it makes a great blizzard like smoothie. Change it up with different flavors of jello. Can you have cottage cheese? It is also good mixed with several differnet things. I live in Pittsboro and would love to gert together sometime. Maybe we can also exercise together when the time is right. Jana

Jana, I can't wait to get together and work out with you! I'll get in touch as soon as I get the OK to begin a good workout!

We can start out with walking and Avon Middle School hasa good water aerobic class. I also have Wii Fit. You could come over and we could do that. Jana

cottage cheese, refried bean with ff sour cream cheese salsa when your ready to add, i lived off that and still do....bananas then would add them to my vanilla protein shakes... i did lots of soups....ummm the progresso low fat or whatever they are called...they are bigger cans so i ate off it several meals....then chili saved me i ate it and still do lots! i was able to eat it pretty early...hmmm my memory stinks back then is a bit of a blur so if i think of more i will holler at ya.... i stayed in ketosis forever so everything tasted bad....so bold flavors worked for me....good luck babydoll....its all mind over matter...at the point you are at now you are eating to survive not for enjoyment you will learn just throw something in your mouth whether you like it in a few bites you will be full and not have to worry bout tastes...haha least thats the way i thought of it....ok bad joke...but found it true so many times...also if something is nasty to you now try it again in a few weeks you may love it...my taste buds changed sooooooooo often!

big hugs

Hadn't yet tried refried beans, I'll have to check those out!! Thanks Kim

Can we have SF pudding and SF jello?  Man, I've been missing out!  LOL.  I eat instant grits, oatmeal, LF cottage cheese, Cream of Potato soup, unsweetened applesauce, and FF refried beans.  On the grits, soup, and beans, I sprinkle a pinch of WW RF shredded cheese.  Very yummy. 

Since I'm having trouble getting in protein right now, I try to make at least one of choices at each meal from the higher protein section.
