Bored already

Chris and Melissa..

I'm not allowed to have tomato products yet because of the acidity of the tomatoes but have done a lot of reading on bariatriceating,com and they suggest:to read labels; Classico, Barilla, & Gia Russo all do not have sugar or high fructose corn syrup in their ingredient list. Choose flavors with the least sugar grams per 2 tablespoon serving..the classico marinara has 2 gm of sugars per serving...Since tomatoes have always been a big thing for me, I'm walkin' the floors waiting for that treat.

The food and protein ideas at bariatriceating ideas are great......So is eggface, Thanks Socki!

I think you are too early out for spaghetti sauce yet.  The tomatoes are too acidic and you can't have hamburger this early out.

I ate lots of sting cheese and other cheeses and I also ate the refried beans with a little cheese on them.  Yogurt is another good choice.  I know the first four weeks are rough because your options are SO limited, but it does get better.  I'm sure it's a little tougher for those of you *****cently had surgery because of all the holiday foods and temptations.

Can you tell that I RARELY cook?

Sorry girl, but I'm with Eluca, stop thinking about food so much. You've got to work on changing the mindset too, or else your new tool isn't going to work for you in the long run.

Ok, I didn't reply to Eluca's comments because I thought it was just downright mean. But I feel the need to clarify at this point. I'm not thinking about food. I have to force myself to eat. It doesn't bother me to sit at the table and watch my family eat their meals. I'm just looking for a little variation. I fee as though I'm doing great. I have no cravings, no hunger and I guess I'm sorry for asking what other people eat in an attempt to find a little variation.

Hey girl!
I don't think anyone is trying to "snap" at you. They just are using words in a way that suit them, but others see them as hurtful. I understand because I wrote a similar post a few weeks back (i am now 6 weeks out) and I got the same replies.  I suppose I view things like you.....people need to re-read what they type...sometimes being so 'blunt' hurts. 
As far as the tomato sauce and tomatoes, they are a no, i tried them and my poor pouch was on fire.  I totally understand that you are bored with the options....that was the only thing about the process I had trouble with, and it wasnt that I couldnt eat or that I was hungry, I just wanted to not "re-eat" the same things for a month.


**For anyone reading this, please note that sometimes your replies come off as mean, and it upsets people.  I am not saying to not be honest, I am just asking you  be more considerate. Melissa is not WANTING more food, she is ASKING for more choices.**

I hope this helps sweetie!! Everyone on this board is really are nice, and they are here to support you, as I am personally!!
Happy Holidays,
Katie

Thanks Katie. While I realize everyone is trying to help, I too think they need to reread what they typed before hitting submit. Happy Holidays to you also!
