Right now, I don't want to eat ANYTHING....I had a bit of a hunger strike all weekend from the pain meds (they kill my appetite), but I did manage to eat a cheeseburger and fries last night. Keep it up, you are doing great, ttc5!

You eat 30 min. after waking up that's great. I can only get to it after 1 hour sometimes 2. (I asked this before how soon after wake up we have to eat but can't find the post:worry:)

Im not on ttc yet so this is what I do :(hope it's good)

Wake up take care of the kids (get ready for school, food , ect) clean up the mess after all this and drink 1 cup (or half) coffee. Finally I have time to eat so I eat 1 bagel with ham or 2 egg with bacon or 2 eggs with tuna , or onion or potato .Oh and a tomato)Sometimes cereal but don't like it much and have to get some almond milk or something like that.(hope it taste good)This is around 9 am.
And I put on some green tea for the day.
I make my green tea with lemon juice so do we need to drink extra lemon water??
around 11 I eat some dry dates drink juice or green tea.
Lunch is usually after 12 to 1pm I eat what ever I find and it's boy friendly. And tomato if I didn't eat on the morning.After I drink a glass of V8 low sodium spicy (add salt) and take sups. Only fish oil and vit E and some gelatin cups. for now.This drink hurts my tummy a little but I drink it anyway...

Afternoon I eat a banana or ruby red grapefruit, or orange . Maybe a ham or salami sandwich . (banana for sure every day)

Later I chew on more dates and dry apricot, plum.
Dinner is what ever we cook ,try to do boy friendly .Last night was grilled stake , roasted asparagus , mash potato and beans. ( I will post pic.lol)

Late at nigh we watch tv and eat salted nuts every night.(or fruit)
In between all this I drink green tea, club soda (because I love it :p) v8 fusion,or some other juice and eat dates here and there.

Tomato and banana every day not potato yet...but I will later.
So this is 3 meal and some snacks. Not big ones because im not on full ttc yet and I don't want to put on much...
And I find this at walmart yesterday!---Lindt dark choc with sea salt.
Oh DH drinks the same drinks !

Hey Flava, when I first started I could not eat anything for a good hour or two either. My old girl habits, were to not eat until after midday!!! I have now worked my way down to stomaching some toast within half hour of waking =) Funny though, I wake at around 5am every morning, STARVING but fall back asleep and by 6-6.30am I am not hungry anymore lol. My metabolism must be speeding up heaps now, lol.

Your diet so far, sounds GREAT!

PMSL it does resemble fish flakes, hey?! I can't really taste the flakes too much when mixed in meals, last night I hid them in my spaghetti mince =) Down here, they are called savoury yeast flakes.

Wow, your average day looks great!

tnx ttc5 maybe I will try the toast ! Im just not hungry on the morning and hate to eat early. And my matabolism is not good at all.

It may kick start u after a few days you may be able to stomach cereal
Too like me :)

I think you are doing great Flava! I did answer your Q but I can't find the thread now either. I think it's best to eat something right after you get up if you possibly can, maybe an energy bar or even just a glass of juice, something to get that blood sugar up quick.

Do you think it's the drink hurting your stomach or do you think it's the supps?? Some supps will make you kinda sick unless you take them with a meal.

If you drink lemon with the green tea there is no need for lemon water.

TTC5, there is nothing I can even say! Wonderful and VERY similar to my normal diet.

---

Hey, even just by eating breakfast alone you are doing a lot to help keep your blood sugar up. Good luck!

My days have been so off lately since the baby has been so sick! But typically I do eat w/in 30 minutes of getting up, so breakfast is usually 7:30. Usually a banana, 2-4 pieces of bacon (sometimes DD1 steals some!), 2 eggs, and some toast. About an hour later I drink some high potassium juice. I pretty much eat something every hour ... dried fruit + salted nuts, oatmeal, gelatin, etc. Lunch is usually homemade potato chips and a salami sandwich, with a couple handfuls of cherry tomatoes. Afternoon I always have a giant 2-3 serving glass of V8 hot low-sodium with salt and NYF. Dinner is always a meat, veg, grain ... like tonight is beef and barley and we'll have a salad with that.

I also drink loads of lemon water, and 2 tea bags worth of green tea every day. I looooove soda though and have probably 3 a week, but when we get closer to actually TTC I will cut that out completely.

I think you're doing wonderfully as well. I do not believe for one minute that 3 sodas a day will harm your sway (unless they are diet!)
