I'm a HUGE juice drinker! So if I can't have juice in the AM, what do I have with breakfast? The thought of water makes me sick in the early AM! Milk?
Can I get the tropicana 1/2 1/2 juice?
Also I need lunch choices badly! I'm use to eating either a lean cuisine, chicken salad sandwich or peanut butter sandwich. I need ideas!
Re: GD ladies...juices
Juice is out for the rest of the pregnancy. I love juice with breakfast too so I understand. I just drink water in the AM. You can have milk, but you have to count it as a carb. 15g of carbs for each milk serving.
You'll probably still be fine with a chicken salad sandwich and a peanut butter sandwich for lunch. Just check the carb count on your bread and make sure it's whole wheat.
I talked to a coworker about GD and she found that her glucose shot up after eating fruit on an empty stomach. I would save the juice as part of your mid-morning snack.
You have plenty of options for lunch as long as you watch your carb intake. A salad full of greens (for folic acid and other vitamins) with some lean protein and light dressing.
A brisk 15-20 minute walk after lunch also helps with the numbers.
I'm not allowed any juice at any time. I'm no help!
I miss my OJ & Cran-Grape juice....

I can have 1/2 a glass of juice if I only eat eggs and nothing else.
LUnch I eat salads with protein, humus and veggies, soups, or quiche, you can still have half your pb sandwich or chick salad sandwich.
