... I got my tongue pierced lol Let me tell you how hard it is to stay on SB when you can't eat solids

So far I think I've done okay.. I'm definitely eating WAY more Phase 2 carbs than technically I should, but it could be way worse. I'm still doing no processed sugar, but I have been doing strawberry smoothies (made with almond milk and splenda), and lots of vegetable broth.. I tried a mashed sweet potato and a little rice but I think I'll wait on those a while before doing it again

I'm still trying to decide if I need to go back on Phase 1 once it heals.. Honestly I feel fine so far as "cravings", and I've lost three pounds (expected), so I might be able to just cut back to Phase 1.5 once I can eat real food again..

Anyone have any ideas of Beachy Phase 2 foods I can eat until this heals? Remember I can't have dairy, soy, or peanuts, though I CAN do almond milk (just nothing like pudding or ricotta or cream soups)

What about purreed bean or lentil soups? This hummusy soup sounds tasty, if you can have garbanzo beans that is.

Unfortunately no beans.. apparently my soy/peanut problem is actually a "legume" issue (which makes me sad because when my tongue's not sore, I adore refried beans)

I have to ask . . . why a tongue piercing?

Hope it heals fast!

I've wanted one for a loooooong time and my bestie was going to get her nipples done so I figured why not get my tongue and nose done while we were there?

I love the way it looks but can't wait till it's healed

I was able to eat okay today.. Had a grilled tuna steak, rice pilaf, and some cauliflower "mashed potatoes". And some NSA apple sauce.. For dinner I broke up some spaghetti really small and ate it with "garlic butter" and it was much easier to eat than I'd expected.

wow..that took courage to get your tounge periced cause man oh man.. ive often wanted to do it, but freaking out about how much the pain would kill me..

The piercing itself doesn't hurt. It's the week after that does :P
