  • Thank you both. Sent friend request.
  • Thank you all for answering. I don't do sauce often but I do like meatballs and spaghetti sauce every now and then.
  • I think it's important to trick your body a little. I don't know what the experts say but I think 1 time a week its ok to eat a few more calories. When I was healthy and skinny every 3 days I splurged (I don't mean eating junk and everything in the house). I would just go from 2000 calories to 2400 calories. It's important…
  • I do eat things that are considered by some junk food but I make most of my goodies at home so I have as much control as possible over what goes into my body.

No one recognized me and I scared myself every time I saw myself in the mirror (thought it was a stranger). I have never regretted my back surgery. It…
  • I understand about eating the foods your body can accept. It's just not worth it to eat foods that can cause me problems. Some foods can put me in the hospital. Good luck.
  • I have crohns and have lived with it for many years. There are times when I have a severe flare I can only eat plain whole grain waffles with nothing on them or oatmeal cookies. Not healthy but that is the only things I can eat (besides a clear liquid diet). I have been on clear liquids as long as 3 months before. I don't…
