Ladies, can I eat rasins on p3? are they considered "sugar"? I need sweets BAD!! -
I asked this question (it was a topic) and people seemed to think I could with caution. I had them at Jason's deli along with some walnuts and almonds after eating a huge salad with grilled chicken.I did not gain. I didn't have too many, though. Maybe 10...Oh I think there were some cranberries in there too : )

Thank you deb, 10 raisins? that's no fun LOL! -
caribeanqueen--I had some dried cranberries on my salad the other day and seemed to do fine. But again, not too many, so I don't know if I can safely tell you to dive in! ;)
Nutshell--thanks! We are sooooo looking forward to the weekend!! I have my bag o' nuts in my purse in case I find I need some more protein at the last minute! The tailgating will be the worst--our "crew" always brings the BEST stuff, but very carb-heavy!! I'm suppose to switch to P4 on Tuesday. so I thought about trying just 1 thing, but I'm so scared! I may just stop and grab some meat and cheese and more nuts (the food, we'll have plenty of the people kind there!), and stick with that. I may have to give in and try a Diet Coke this weekend--it sounds very good and I am less scared about that than I am a beer.
Have a great day everyone!!

Metz - your soooo close to P4 I'm sure you will do fine!! Have a diet coke for me to :)
Ok so I ended up sleeping in the car last night because they kicked my out of ICU :( Thank the Lord I drive a Trailblazer & all the seat fold down :) but didn't sleep well at all. Tonight I am sleeping at my sis-in-laws unless a heart comes up today.
Right now I feel so bloated & I know I retained water because my wedding ring which I just recently was able to get back on my fat little fingers is a little tight right now. I know part of the problem is I haven' gone to the bathroom in a few days. I'm to scared to drink my "tea" while were up here because there are times when the doctors are in here talking to us so I can't make a mad dash to the bathroom (no bathrooms in the ICU rooms :/). I ended up eating the entire little bag of trailmix - raisins inclueded. But on the bright side I didn't touch the dorito bag :O) On my way back up to the room this morning I went to the cafeteria & grabbed some scrammbled eggs - you know they only give you like ONE ice cream scoop full of egg?? Well that just wasn't going to be enough protein for me so I asked for 2 the guy looked at me like I was nuts LOL yep buddy I would like 2 scoops of hospital food LOL I also grabbed 2 pcs of bacon & a container of strawberries. And the largest size black coffee they had available (brought my stevia with me). So now I am all set. I just wish I could douse these eggs in some ketchup. Can you believe they don't serve sugar free? God Lord!!! I'm in a hospital you think they would be the most aware of that kind of things :/
Ok I'm done rambling on. I am going to try & drink more water today. Right now I am going to swallow down my eggs before the doctors start coming in here & poking around on Elmer. I hate eating in front of them. And I look just beautiful this morning after sleeping in the car. I still have yesterdays makeup on LOL Guess I will go out soon & wash up a little before we start another long day - after I take a nap :) -
Poor Nutshell, you are being put through the wringer, and dieting at the same time. Your positive attitude and patience are truly inspiring!!! I'm pretty amazed at how patient spouses and family are hung out to dry. Can you get in one of the Ronald McDonald houses?
When my first born ended up in NICU we pitched a big enough fit that they put me up in a hotel room in the hospital free of charge so i could go nurse her ever two hours. Ask to see a social worker and see if they can help you. They seem to function as advocates for the patient and family, at least in our experience they did. It just pains me that you are sleeping in car! -

By the way ladies, whatever hormonal changes are taking place in me are really severe this month, I have slipped up more times than I can count and I am affraid of ending up with a screwed up hypothalamus that doesn't know it's head from it's butt, I haven't gained more than a couple lbs and then I lose them in a day or 2, but I know I'm not right for spinning outta control the way I have =( -
Sorry to hear that caribean. I know for me it just takes one slip to produce more. That's why alcoholics stay sober. A little harder when your trigger is FOOD! But if you're not going outside of 2 pounds i would say that is very impressive! Make sure you are getting enough fat, and take l-glutamine. You may also need some neurotransmitter balancing.
Julia Ross's The Mood Cure is a good read on balancing brain chemistry. Also, there' a product called Crave X by Designs for Health that balances brain chemistry to avoid cravings. You can get it at www.emersonecologics.com. If you're interested, whisper me and i can get you a 30% discount. -
Michele - I think that isn't to bad if your staying within 2lbs!! Isn't that why we have a 2lb cushion +/-?? I think you have done a great job! Everyone slips up now & again, that is how we learn so don't be so hard on yourself! You know your weaknesses & that is the first step in the right direction. And did we buy a test yet or are we still holding out????
Ok now to answer you guys - yes I had spoken with the transplant social worker yesterday & she was going to put me on the waiting list for a house close by that is run by a religious group that offers free rooms to family members while their loved one is in ICU. It just depends on when a room opens up. But don't worry tonight I am going to go stay at my sister-in-laws :o) Then after the transplant I can't stay at that house once Elmer is out of ICU & since we have to stay within 30 min of the hospital we have to find housing close by. The social worker is working on that as well so that it is all lined up once the transplant happens. Right now I am way over tired & am getting ready to take a nap before I attempt to tackle my mounds & mounds of homework. Lately I haven't been as diligent about doing it (LOL I have been to busy playing on here is the real reason LOL) but it will help occupy my mind while we play this waiting game. Elmer has a feeling that tomorrow may be his day, I was thinking that last night when I was trying to sleep but I am trying to keep myself in check right now. God will know when it is time & I am leaving all of that in his hands. It is hard to do especially when your a control freak LOL but I know I have to. But please don't worry about me I honestly am ok, just a little wiped out. I have my crying spells then I'm good to go again. I'm just frustrated with the whole eating thing right now & no scale & my food choices here are not the greatest but I don't want to even attempt to just do 8 days of P3 & then jump to P4 I know I'm not ready yet. Tonight when I get to my sister-in-laws I will be able to regroup myself & be ready for tomorrow :0)
