food aversion

Eat the carbs girl.  Whenever I get like that (now, for instance) I have what I think I can tolerate.  I ate pizza tonight with a really thin crust, but left as much crust as possible.  Some days I can do lots of meat and cheese, other days I can eat lots of it!!!  Good luck!!

 I go through this quite often actually! I am really not a big meat and cheese eater but I love salads. So one thing I do is make a salad with italian dressing, lettuce, some feta cheese or shredded parmesan cheese (more salty to me than heavy), croutons, and some nuts. Its light and I get some veggies and protein. It just sits better in my stomach and eventually I can up the protein. ( I make another salad for the next meal and add chicken, it seems to help to work my way up to it) If you make a shake add some frozen fruit. I also go for celery and peanut butter and add some raisins if you want to sweeten it. Good luck! Lately all I want to eat is sugar free banana popsicles and pickles... too bad they don't have protein!

A pickle sounds really good to me!  Too bad it doesn't have protein, lol.

I like the idea of working my way up toward protein.  I'll try that.  :)

I go in cycles!   I found early out, when I wanted some carbs...I ate them.  I didn't eat as much as pre op, because just a bit will tide you over!!!  I ate/eat pizza, but I find about 1/2 way through....I'm eating just the top, because I've had enough of the carby crust to satisfy me!!!  You mentioned the bread with butter & sugar.....wow, that brough back memories!!  I use to love to eat that when I was little, or the peanut butter on toast with sugar!!  Heck, pre op I ate toast with butter and peanut butter all the time!!  That may be breakfast tomorrow! 

Choke down the protein, you need that.  But also, indulge in a bit of carbs.  Besides....if you eat to many carbs and get gassy like me......you might not crave the carbs as much!

Good luck!

*giggling for right now*     just wanted to say thanks a whole bunch here....I was craving fry bread after this post and just couldnt take it any more.....I made it and not only did I make it-----I ATE IT TOO...LOL.  I know I will pay the consequence later but OMG  it was so good....even put some butter and honey on it.

Thank you EVERYBODY for your ideas and support!

I ended up having orange chicken and some rice yesterday.  That's ALL I could eat the whole day besides the protein shake I had in the morning.  I went to bed without dinner.

When I woke up I had lost 2 pounds overnight.  I guess that's what not eating for a few days will do to a person.  Lol.

Today I had some cereal, bread, and half a cheese danish for breakfast.  Seems like at least the quantity is coming back.  I expect to pay a price for all this white flour, but hopefully I'm getting back to normal.  I've even got a little cheese craving going.

Thanks, guys!  :)

Do you have a Trader Joe's near you?  Their soy and flax tortilla chips are fantastic and taste better than a corn chip but still have low net carbs and seven chips has 6g of protein.  Not a lot but a decent way to feel like you're splurging on some carbs.  Maybe that with a mashed up avocado with some lime and salt?  (only 3 net carbs in one whole avocado and a couple grams of protein)
