Hello!
First, THANKS for all of the congrats and comments in my previous
thread. Most people had the same theme/ recommendation: veggies. Rather than
responding individually I thought I'd just start a new thread. I have a
MAJOR problem with food textures and I don't eat veggies. It's a battle that
I've been fighting for over 10 years and I can't seem to win. I gag when I
eat them and it's really been something that I've worked on with no success.
We (being my doctor and I) tried the 'eat it and keep eating it- you'll get
used to it' method- no go. We tried the 'hide it in other things' method- no
go. We tried the 'dress them up a little' method- no go. I have taken to
supplementing with vitamins and other 'not really veggies but close enough'
things like ketchup, etc. I have sun-dried tomatoes on pizza and I eat
salads but that's it. I know most of you want to say 'Just eat them!' but it
really isn't that easy. I CAN'T do it! I can do corn, potatoes, peas (in
small quantities- if absolutely necessary) and almost all fruits (not
melon). So I guess what I'm getting at is that I SO wish I could eat veggies
without getting sick because it would help a lot with this weight-loss thing
but I'm not finding it possible.
With that- I need other alternatives. Very low point snacks? Filling,
yet low-point meals without many veggies? Good things to munch on when you
aren't really hungry but desire to eat/munch?
Ugggh. This veggie thing is one of my biggest frustrations.

Thanks again,
-Kara.
