A food thread - how are you doing with food?

[Deleted member 487]

I'm living out of the can for now. No fridge. So that means not cooking much, if at all. Just open the can and munch. Ravioli, spaghetti, chili, green beans, sweet peas, etc.

I do that sometimes, just because I don't feel like cooking.

Dairy allergy here... so I have to be craaaaaaazy careful, because I react even to dairy sourced vitamin...

Thank you, milk is awful for me and most of the shake products. Eggs do pretty much the same and wheat though I have yet to isolate any foods in that category. Muscle milk is fine it contains no milk, kinda expensive but they have it at bjs so I get a break there. Creatine worked for me always but killed my sex drive every time so now I avoid it. Corn seems fine as far as grains go.

I can eat meat and potatoes and veggies. It's really simple if I just do that. I had a big steak and potatoes last night, more than I've eaten at one sitting in weeks and I even ate the bread and honey cinnamon butter. American Roadhouse is a steak place I never heard of it they put one in the mall near one of our BJ's. Place is so busy.

So we will c if I get any upset today but I doubt it. I still have some doggie bag left for today. I'm going to try a veggie shake of some kind they have a product at BJs I couldn't deal with looking for it yesterday. : )

I also probably have alpha-gal, known as meat allergy from all the tick bites I got while we lived in the woods. I tested negative but now and then I break out in hives after a burger (usually BK or McDonalds) but steak from the supermarket will cause this also. I wondered for years what it was. I just take a half a Benedryl and I'm fine, but the hives are weird and always in the same places.

I'm doing better with food. I need to make friends with exercise again, though.

Green apples, raisins, and hard cheddar cheese. This is my go-to snack/meal replacement, no stomach upset. I was going to get the pan out and make chicken but why spoil a perfect day? Besides, it's way too hot to light the oven. (or I'll think up another excuse) My son is not here for his birthday so, we will eat Chinese food in his honor. : )

Food the final frontier. How are you doing with food?

I am not eating. I am thinking I don't have to...

My eating is all over the place & I've been eating a lot of unhealthy foods... :/

Chinese food, pop 2 aspirins after dinner for the grease. Sang happy birthday into the iPhone video and sent it to solider boy. We always sind for everyone's birthday, usually with cake, ice cream and candles but since he was not here we settled for just dinner.

Nice, woke up starving last night, Chinese food always makes me feel hungry. Had coffee and my stomach is rumbling but I feel good. I drank extra water last night so I got up four times or so which is not unusual. I don't mind how many times I get up, all I care about is, do I go back to sleep.

I did a soup fast or liquid fast yesterday. After eating out twice and that Chinese food on Sunday I needed that. The Chinese food went through hard. That can't be good for you but, aside from the unpleasantness of eliminating it, it didn't upset my stomach in the usual ways, which are heartburn and gas. Soup fasting was not bad, I was really hungry but let everyone else eat the leftover Chinese food. My son did contact us. It must have been the video I sent him of us singing Happy Birthday that got to him. He sent us a picture that was nice, a selfie. I text him "your mom just wants to know you are alright" and "we don't mean to be pests," typical parent BS. When they are young, you can't imagine them ever leaving. Now this last one is going to be 21 and I'm still hoping soon I won't have to imagine it, he'll be gone! lol

Just coffee today so far. I have no plans to eat right now, that's a big part of the problem. We never had planned meals so, we never ate right.

IDK if I'm going to eat today, I made it this far and it's hot as hell. I have some chicken I have to cook and it's too hot. I might have to though, I'll have to check the date when I get home, I've had it a few days, it won't cool off enough to light the oven for an hour.

I have to try and knock some pain killers out of my pdoc. Really gonna have to go for the sympathy, but I do have to move and my arthritis is terrible the last couple weeks. It's gonna hurt. I can't be on them steady because I smoke weed but she maybe can do a one off. My dentist gives them to me for a root canal, no urine test from him. She should be able to, no harm in asking. : )

I did eat yesterday finally when we came back from walking. Apples. cheese, raisins, corn chips and some salsa. Then I jumped into bed so I couldn't eat any more. : ) That's not really true, I didn't want anymore to eat by then. Anyway the doctor referred me out to a dietitian at the hospital that's in my insurance network so I'm finally going to get someone to help me with my diet. Love her.
