Guest guest Posted July 14, 2005 Report Share Posted July 14, 2005 I started with eggs when I went to Stage III. The first couple of times I had them, they were fine. Then suddenly they wouldn't sit well. I'd feel really sick. Finally I quit trying to eat them. I've had a deviled egg since then and it was okay. Thought I'd try scrambled again...NO GOOD! Don't know. Weird! I'm not a tofu person. I did the thinly sliced deli meat and cheese. I've done low fat versions and regular versions. Some of the lower fat versions (like the " lite " string cheese) are too dry and I don't tolerate them. Yogurt I got sick on when I was on stage II so I generally don't eat much of that. Refried beans with cheese on them were yummy (and still are). Ground beef (as long as there is seasonings in it) is really good. Just remember to CHEW CHEW CHEW and then CHEW some more. AND don't push yourself. If you can't eat the 1/4 cup like they suggest (2 oz.), just throw it away. If you eat too much, your pouch will let you know immediately! We are going to Pacifica, CA for camping tis weekend. Escaping the 107 degree Sacramento weather and heading to cooler 78 degree weather right on the beach. Yeah! Good luck and let me know how Stage III starts for you. Keep up the good work.

Guest guest Posted July 14, 2005 Report Share Posted July 14, 2005 Thanks for the recommendations Tina. I will try with a hard boiled egg first I guess. The refriend beans sounds really good. I love the vegan black beans, so maybe I will try that with some cheese. I hate getting sick so I want to avoid it if all possible. I know not much would come out with it being a tiny amount going in, but I guess it is the control issue. I can't stand when I can't control my body. It is a small amount that comes back up right? I just want to be prepared for worse case scenario here.... Wow I didn't realize you were up in Sac. You are going to love camping by the ocean. Napa gets pretty hot, but not Sac hot. You are brave to live up there! I suppose though as you are losing weight,you won't get the chills as often? I have had a couple times now where I am shivering and shaking at work. My hands and feet are frozen most of the day. I go outside to thaw out. Ahh... Have a great trip! Thanks for the cheering!
