great with lime…
I feel bad for Josh. Finding somewhere to eat where the both of us can get what we want has become a pain. I have a huge aversion to beef right now. I can eat some chicken, although after a few bites of it I want nothing to do with it… Turkey is okay so far, I can eat a little more of it than chicken. Bacon & ham make my stomach roil… about the only meaty food that doesn’t turn me off right now, is fish.
Well, I should be more specific. White fish (like in fish sticks), or tuna.
So when it’s time to eat at work, the old question comes up… What am I in the mood for? My answer is usually, “definitely nothing with beef!”, which eliminates a lot of choices. El Paso BBQ is nothing but beef and pork. They have chicken dishes and a salmon salad, but neither sounds appealing to me. In-n-Out is obviously, out, as it’s nothing but burgers (although I do like their fries and shakes still). Carrabba’s used to be OK, but when I tried it yesterday, even their regular spaghetti started to make me queasy. I thought I’d be Ok just picking off the meat sauce, but apparently the smell was a little too strong. I may try to get it sans meat if we try it again, though.
And then I found out last Tuesday, after eating half of a Del Taco spicy jack quesadilla (along with a plain bean & cheese burrito and part of a fish taco), that baby sure hates spicy food! I didn’t get sick but felt so shitty that I couldn’t even sit in my office and browse web sites or play any games, or even knit. All I wanted to do is lay down and sleep.. I ended up taking a 2.5 hr nap, after which I felt better, although still a little bleh, just not as bad as before the nap.
McDonald’s is cool, as I can either get a Filet-O-Fish or a McChicken grill, and their fruit & walnut salad. Sonic is cool, as I can get either a chicken sandwich or grilled cheese. Then Wendy’s as I can get a baked potato…
And then there’s Chipotle. I used to get steak burrito bols. (yes, “bowl” with out the “w”). Since the idea of me eating steak now causes me to eye the trash can in earnest, that leaves chicken or pork. I’m not sure about pork yet (other than ham & bacon), but I’m steering away from it for now, just in case. And their chicken? It’s charbroiled. I hated that flavor before (especially when the “char” is a little generous), and I dislike it even more now. So that leaves the veggie bol, but I don’t like green peppers or onions, either. So I guess it’s rice, cheese, sour cream & lettuce until my old tastes return.
I’ve gone bland!! The only tastes that appeal to me are starchy foods, and so far fruits and vegatables (like broccoli and carrots, lettuce, etc) are still fine for my tummy, too. Maybe I’ll start buying protein bars or something, as I know there is no way I’m getting enough protein with my aversion to half the meats I used to eat.
Anyway, today I had Rubio’s fish tacos. They had some spice on them, but hopefully baby won’t mind this time and I won’t be wanting to crawl under my desk to sleep it off like some weird hangover. :roll:
At least with the nausea (which is more evident at night), I’m not stuffing myself with food, so I’ve maybe gained only 1 lb so far, even with eating a diet that’s about 90% carbohydrate foods. Ok, so maybe 90% is a bit of an exaggeration, but not by much. Crackers, macaroni & cheese, grilled cheese sandwiches, fruit, potatoes… with an occassional chicken or fish sandwich tossed in here or there (with bread-more carbs!)... Yeah, not by much.
Ah well. Hopefully the nausea will let up in a few weeks so I can start eating a little more normally.
(edited to modify some slight exaggerations.. I don’t really gag at the smell of beef, but it is by no means appetizing at this point. I can go into an establishment that serves it, the smell may be a little off to me, but as long as I don’t try to eat any, I’ll be ok.)
