Lorna from Canada Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 Funny how this coincides with Melissa's Day by Day book recommendation that we socialize and get out there! That's a coincidence because this lunch was planned way before my W30! I'm not worried about it - I plan to eat before I go so I can survive on salad if that's all that is going to be compliant. I've never had a problem saying "no" to people's expectations that I eat - as an obesity survivor who lost 85+ over 5 years, (and maintained it for 8 before menopause reared its butt ugly head!), I'm used to saying "no thanks" and, probably more importantly, people in my life are used to me saying it! So - lunch out is happening - not gonna lie, I will want the wine Oh wine... I'm discovering something unexpected though - I have trouble with some nuts! This morning I ate a handful of pecans with a banana and now my stomach hurts. Same thing yesterday with cashews and dates. I've been paying attention because I've noticed stomach pain on occasion and realized it was happening after I eat nuts - cashews and pecans primarily. Almonds don't seem to be a problem - I love almonds AND almond milk so, that's good! I haven't tested walnuts or pistachios. I can easily cut out pecans and cashews but will miss them - this stomach pain isn't worth it. I've suffered from IBS for 50 years and low FODMAP didn't make a difference. This, however, is an interesting discovery! Can't wait to see what re-entry is going to reveal - I will definitely be doing a slow roll. Okay - that's it - off to meet my friends shortly... I'll report back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
