feeling weak

Hi There!
I know the diet thing is not great! I have to say pizza's totally give me problems now - even ones with a tiny amount of tomato on them! You do loose a lot of weight with this - which in my case isn't much of an issue - as I have weight to loose. Can you tolerate dairy? I tend to make pasta now with a homemade white sauce - but that uses a little bit of butter and semi-skimmed milk (half fat milk), chicken breast and veg. I can give you the recipe if you want! I also make myself risotto now - which I never used to do - you have to start looking at different things that you can eat - and fill up on the ones that agree with you. For some strange reason I crave cauliflower cheese a lot - which I find very tasty and it doesn't upset me. I have got to really loving avocado too. You have to look at your diet from a different angle - try some new things and see what works!
You will get upset and down sometimes - I do too, I can't eat some of my very favorite foods - but with experimenting you might find some new favorites!
Be strong!

Sweetie's pasta sauce

1 oz butter,
half a pint of semi skimmed milk
tablespoon of cornflour
1 vegetable stock cube
2 chicken breasts chopped into strips
5 mushrooms
1 leek
1 courgette (zuccini)
handful of frozen peas
Chop the leek, courgette, and mushrooms.
melt butter in a frying pan, add the leek, chicken, courgette and mushrooms, finally add the peas and stock cube, when the main ingredients are cooked add the cornflour so it coats the ingredients - then mix in the milk - stirring gently - this will make a nice savoury white sauce that you can either stir your cooked pasta through or put on top of you cooked pasta - which ever you prefer. I vary my veg - it works well with mange tout, green beans, asparagus, sweetcorn.
Serves 2

I love this with penne pasta - it's very tasty - and just use the veg that agrees with you!
