Height: 5' 7.5"

Default In need of some help food wise

For the next 24 hours, the doctor told me to avoid the following to try to ease my intestional issues:

vegetables
beans
whole wheats and grains

I am so ready to go tell DW yes -- she offered to go pick up our favorite NY type pizza (she went on her fat walk and I told her I would let her know when she got back whether or not I wanted to). I want to. I am HUNGRY. But I really don't want to eff this up and "cheat." But now that the pizza is in my brain, I don't want to crave it until I give in, you know?

Anyway, suggestions on what I can ask her to pick up for dinner? I know the whole foundation of this way of life is to eat the above but I really don't want to throw 12 pounds and 26 days down the drain.

Thanks!

I'd stay far away from added sugars and too much fat. Other than that it sounds like you need to adjust your diet for a few days. Yogurt, fruit, lf cheese, proteins for sure. DO you feel you need grains or could you just skip them for a few? Just thinking out loud. No matter what don't use this as an excuse to backtrack. You've worked too hard to give up now!

Jen- What about a beanless soup or bbq?? You can have any meats right? Do ribs with rub instead of sauce or bbq chicken.

Even while typing this all I can think of is NY style pizza so I understand why you would be struggling with that! Do you have to do a flush or anything for tomorrow?

Oh, can't have fruit either.

I skipped the urge (at DW's sheer disappointment and amazement at my will-power) and asked her to get some deli meat. I will make roll-ups tonight for dinner and for breakfast. My appointment is at 11:30a and I will have a better idea of what I am in for.

Thanks Cyndi for the willpower.

How frustrating for you! I was thinking like Cyndi - cheeses, yogurt, protein. None are easy to pick up but you could resort to burgers and toss the buns. Can you eat legumes, nuts and starches like sweet potatoes? How about cottage cheese with fruit. Do you have Boston Market? I haven't been in years but they should have basic turkey or chicken breast. Eggs? A ham and cheese omelet maybe?

Hopefully it will be just one night. And I hear ya on that colonoscopy thing. I had one years ago (when I had my own gastro problems) and am happy not to repeat until I hit 50!

If you have tummy issues would pizza cause more issues. All that grease might upset your tummy even more especially since you haven't had really greasy food for a while.

I don't know if I would have the power to restart phase 1. Would you?

You can still have dairy and protein and fruit and cheese. Could you do sweet potatoes or even butternut squash. I guess those are types of veggies, but not really.

I know that doens't make for a great meal, but for 24 hours I might make do because like I said I don't know if I would stop wiht just the pizza. I am afraid you would use the 24 hours and pizza as an excuse to eat whatever you like.

Hey Aj-

Thanks for the idea. The BBQ Cola chicken might be the option for tomorrow!

No, no cleanse yet. I am sure tomorrow he'll ask me to come back for a colonoscopy. The fun and the joy!

You all ROCK. Thanks for the response!

DW is tired but willing to go get my prescription and stop at the store quickly. Just doing turkey roll-ups with some RF cheese in the meantime (dinner and breakfast --maybe with a hard-boiled egg?). I think tomorrow after the Dr. I will do a store run. Dairy, if I remember, is on the no-no list for when I come out of the hospital so I am going to avoid too much.

THANK YOU all again. What a great support system!

yeah, I hope so too. I found my list (thank goodness I've kept a journal for 9 years) and read back -- It was the IC that sent me on slippery slope last time off of South Beach as well as the time before that. Sad list, isn't it?

■Refined breads, cereals, crackers, chips and pasta with less than 1 gram of fiber per serving (Note: Ideally, look for products with zero grams of dietary fiber per serving.)
■White rice
■Vegetable juices without seeds or pulp
■Fruit juices with no pulp
■Milk, yogurt, pudding, ice cream, and cream-based soups and sauces (strained)
■Tender meat, poultry, fish and eggs
■Oil, margarine, butter and mayonnaise
■Smooth salad dressings
■Broth-based soups (strained)
■Jelly, honey and syrup
While consuming a low-residue diet, limit dairy products (such as milk, yogurt, pudding, ice cream, and cream-based soups and sauces) to no more than 2 cups a day.

You should avoid:

■Whole-grain breads, cereals and pasta
■Whole vegetables and vegetable sauces
■Whole fruits, including canned fruits
■Yogurt, pudding, ice cream or cream-based soups with nuts or pieces of fruits or vegetables
■Tough or coarse meats with gristle and luncheon meats or cheese with seeds
■Peanut butter
■Salad dressings with seeds or pieces of fruits or vegetables
■Seeds and nuts
■Coconut
■Marmalade
If you're eating a low-residue diet, a typical one-day menu might look like this.

Breakfast:
One-half cup cereal (with 1 gram or less of fiber per serving) with milk
Six to 8 ounces fruit juice without pulp

Snack:
Two slices low-fiber, refined white bread with seedless jelly or honey
Six to 8 ounces vegetable juice

Lunch:
Six to 8 ounces fruit juice without pulp, or water
Three ounces broiled fish
One-half cup white rice

Snack:
One cup yogurt
Six to 8 ounces fruit or vegetable juice

Dinner:
Six to 8 ounces fruit juice, vegetable juice or water
One cup broth-based soup (strained)
Three ounces broiled chicken
One-half to 1 cup low-fiber pasta with butter or flavored oil


■Experiment with fiber. For most people, high-fiber foods, such as fresh fruits and vegetables and whole grains, are the foundation of a healthy diet. But if you have inflammatory bowel disease, fiber may make diarrhea, pain and gas worse. If raw fruits and vegetables bother you, try steaming, baking or stewing them. Check with your doctor before adding significant amounts of fiber to your diet.
■Avoid problem foods. Eliminate any other foods that seem to make your symptoms worse. These may include "gassy" foods, such as beans, cabbage and broccoli, raw fruit juices and fruits, popcorn, alcohol, caffeine, and carbonated beverages.

Thanks all. I hope I don't have to low-residue (that's what they cal it, lol) it anytime soon. I might seek out a nutritionist if this is the case.
