Toast!

I was looking through our Positive Choices binder, and in th food plans it say we can try wheat toast after 3-4 weeks.  I tried some, and it was great.  I used one piece of toast with one egg and some lowfat cheese to make a half sandwich.  I can't eat the whole thing in one sitting, but I can eat most of it.  It is DELICIOUS!  It sits well in my tummy too.  This means I can probably make litle grilled cheeses with lowat cheese.  Woohoo!

Yeah I noticed that the folder from Positive Choice has a much different plan to follow then what the Surgeons tell us.
Since Doc Rumsey said I could also have peas (since I don't like yogurt or cottage cheese), I went and bought some Gerber baby pea food (their stage 1 range), and it was actually really good. It already comes in a 2oz container, so I just heated it up and ate it. I was surprised by the taste of it, and it only has 30 calories per 2oz container, which is pretty much what my scrambled eggs was giving me, only the eggs have more protein. So I'm going to mix it up a little between eggs and peas. Plus those yogurt melts from the Gerber baby range that Becca suggested are awesome too!

Let's toast to toast! I'm so glad to hear that food is now staying in you.

It seems like my eating habits are on some weird cycle. I rotate days...one day 800-875 calories, next day 600-700 calories. And back and forth like that. The days when I am super hungry and up my calories, I actually seem to loose a few ounces or pounds. I wonder some times if we are giving our bodies too few calories, and it is in starvation mode hanging on to our fat reserves.

I'm going to have to open up that binder and review the literature. After class was over I tucked it away haven't opened it since (I'm a bad girl). It would be interesting to see what all positive choice says we can have. Dr. Tanaka doesn't give many food options..... It drove me friggin nuts.

Hope all is well and hope that you are getting your your rest at nights again

im still having peroblems with the heartburn or that weridness when u eat like your chest making noise it's werid to explain .. my mom made beans the other day and i blended them they went down great and hardly any gas what a surprise!!!!! i was at a stand still i think cause of my period but it looks like im going down again...I couldnt find vitamins sooo i bought the one a day gummies....3g of sugar for two of them and there good dont make me sick or anything worked out great!!! anyway love ya alll take care!!!!

I totally get the chest noise!!!!! A lot of times i gurgle and have mini burps after I eat. It's so embarrassing. People give me the strangest looks when it starts.I feel like a sci fi movie, and this angry monster is gonna rip out of my belly and eat them up.

Yeah, I get the gurgle noises too, but it's not uncomfortable or anything like that. Just funny noises.
Other than some strawberry flavored items (I'm okay with the yogurt baby melts) that caused me to feel nauseous, I'm doing okay on my foods. Not that I have  huge range, I'm still only eating scrambled eggs (1oz at a time), or Gerber baby pea puree (2oz), or yogurt melts. The rest is still liquids, protein shakes and popsicles.
Going to weigh in again tomorrow. See what I lost for the second week.

I had toast!!! Kinda made me poop TMI!!! but i loved it!!! 

Yes!  I had french toast last night (wheat bread dipped in egg then cooked in a pan with cooking spray)  with sugar free syrup.  It all stays within what we can eat, but it was a nice change.  YUM!
