Horrified of Messing up

Hi, I am 6-months out and I have the same fears as you.  Although I had not heard to the yeast thing...I have had bread, not a whole lot because I try very hard to eat my protein and have found that wrapping turkey or ham in a lettuce leaf works really nice..Protein and veggie how much better does it get. I have also found that eating out is NO FUN anymore...I have to scan the menu for something that is high in protein, not fried, breaded or covered in gravy or sauces... and then once I finally get my meal I eat a few bites and I am done...waiting for my husband or my friends to finish eating...which is just a hoot . My husband is very supportive and I have discussed this issue with him and he has said if I want to go out to eat let him know otherwise we can just eat home. I have found the easiest place to eat for me is Olive Garden...I order the manicotti..I take off the noodle and mix the cheese together with the marinara..I usually can eat about 3-4 small forkfuls and then I am done...I bring the rest home for the dog...although he is gaining weight my daughter says he (the dog) is going to have a puppy heart attack.

I don't like seafood but I have found that I can eat more salad than I feel I should be able to.

I wish you luck...I just wanted to let you know that you are not alone in being scared of messing up or eating too much or the wrong thing...My primary care doctor says that is a good way to be (scared of doing the wrong thing) because you are thinking of the end result.  I sure hope so...I did not go through all of this to go back to where I was.   Karen Schworm
