Blintzes?

Pebbles0106 · June 3, 2007

I was wondering if anyone eats blintzes , tostitos/nachos or french fries-baked once in the solid stage.

Of course you can. But if you are serious about losing weight, you wont'.

I disagree with GayleTX. I think you should be able to eat reasonable quantities of whatever you can keep down. I eat just about everything. Of course, I have only lost 40 pounds, but I got the band so I wouldn't have to eat diet food and could still lose weight. You may not lose as much weight if you eat blintzes (Lord, they're good), but one has to work with one's psychology as well as one's body. So I think a blintz on occasion is fine. It's probably not good to eat them everyday, but maybe once a week or so. At least, that's my opinion. I may not know what I'm talking about, but the key thing is not to sabotage your weight loss. When you are seriously thin, you can eat blintzes and nachos. I don't think I could get either one of them down though.

yeah thats what i meant . i am not planning on eating them all day . i just want to get some education on whats allowed and whats tolerated by people.

thank you

Each person tolerates food differently. I just ate a sponge cake thing meant for strawberry shortcake. It went down fine. But I couldn't do that earlier in the day. I think the main thing is to concentrate on Protein and veggies. If you have room left over, have something sweet though my Mexican doc told me that if I eat sweets I won't lose weight. I eat sweets and have been at a plateau for months. I don't care. I like sweets and my diabetes is just about gone. I was on steroids for my ears and steroids really run one's sugar up. Previously my sugar was in the 300s on steroids, but was 78 when I checked it one night the last round. Clearly the diabetes is not a problem now though I still take a pill in the morning. I think you should eat what you can tolerate with protein first, veggies and then whatever else. Good luck. You'll figure all this out eventually while you are getting much thinner.
