Giving up chocolate and spicy foods would be easy for me, but coffee might be darn near impossible. I've tried going off of it for a week or so at a time, but I always end up coming back.

I don't know...I was completely spoiled during my 18 months working at the chocolate factory. Pretty much I haven't found anything that can compete.

Coffee would be hardest, partly because of the withdrawal. Then chocolate. Wine on top of that? Egads. By fatty foods do you mean fried foods? I could do without those but I hope cheese doesn't fall in that category.
I hope giving up those things helped and I hope coffee is back in your life!Comment

mmmm. cheese.
That's also on the list things I need on a desert island.

Lactose intolerant.
No dairy for me for the last five years. I haven't missed it really -- but combine that with the new restrictions and I'm feeling the pinch. Went to the dentist today for my total mouth overhaul (don't ask, it is ugly 
) and she told me to avoid nuts and hard foods until I get a crown on this tooth. Uhh....I'm doing the crown in January. So, no dairy, spicy foods, fried foods, chocolate, alcohol, coffee/tea, carbonated beverages OR hard/crunchy things that will damage the crown. 
Thank goodness I like soup. 
In better news, the coffee stayed down with no ill effects today.

I don't think I can ever give up Coca-Cola. It is like crack to me. I crave one every day. It is automatically counted into my calorie consumption for the day. DH says when we start trying to start a family I have to stop it. I don't know if I can do it.....I don't think I have the will power!!Comment

If it's just one per day and that's your only caffeine, you'd be well under the recommended caffeine limits for pregnancy. And if it's counted into your calorie consumption, I assume you're not having a ton of other sugar, either, so . . . I wouldn't give it up!Originally posted by bokelley View PostMarried to a hematopathologist seven years out of training.

Other than Alcohol there's really nothing THAT bad. I mean even heroin isn't as bad as booze. Tell your hubby in the grand scheme of things, one flippin' coke is NOTHING. Tell him to come on down and hang out with me for a day and his perspective on everything ingested during pregnancy will change significantly.

I feel your pain with the ulcer. If I even think about coffee, tomatoes, orange juice or anything acidic my stomach twinges. Even on Protonix for a year and I still have flare-ups.Comment

Chocolate would be *very* hard for me to give up. I don't drink coffee and rarely drink alcohol, so those wouldn't be too bad. Spicy foods (mostly salsa) would be second-hardest. I do dearly love Coke, with sugar, thankyouverymuch, but limit myself to one a week. Fatty foods wouldn't be too hard, although if cheese is included in that, it would be harder!
Angie, I hope your stomach continues to feel better. If I were in your shoes, the bright side would be that I would almost certainly lose weight....but it would suck just the same!

Chocolate - all the way
DH asked me today what I had for lunch and then stopped me and said, "Oh, wait, I forgot you eat air." (He makes fun of my portion sizes
). I told him, "No, I had air covered in chocolate." Such is my love....

Diet Coke. I gave it up for Lent once. I was a horrible person. I had to give it up during my second pregnancy. I think I ate a skinny girl. The first and third pregnancies were down to one a day.
I can go without alcohol -- didn't have any from Sept 2006 until my last kid was 14 months old in 2008.Veronica
