You could always make your own BBQ sauce with low sugar ketchup. I like Cola BBQ sauce (I make it with diet caffiene free pepsi). So only a little bit of sugar from the ketchup and a whole bunch of spices and yumminess.  

 Thanks for the advice everyone! I think I'm going to try the butterball ones and see if I can find individual ones to try at a butcher shop! Thanks again!  

 That's what I've been trying to do but all the grocery stores near me only sell them in bulk packages. Their deli counters only carry individual pork pepperettes.  

So I know that pepperoni is not the best option because it has a lot of fat but I'm apprehensive about trying turkey or chicken pepperoni. At the stores near me, I can only buy a big bag for about 8.99 with about 25 pepperettes in it. I used to love pepperettes but I would hate to buy the big bag and find out after eating only one that I don't like them and have wasted $9.

So, my questions are, do you like turkey or chicken pepperoni? What are your favourite brands? Do you know if I can buy slices (like for making pizza or the pepperoni chips)? Do you know of anywhere that sells individual pepperettes so I could buy one to try?

Thanks everyone!   

 WOW! Looking good! Good luck with the job interview!  

 Okay, I'll post them in there!  

First NSV: I've noticed over the last few days that my one leg has been sore just under my knee. I was worried what might be causing it but when I was waiting for someone today, I realized my leg was hurting again and what caused it was I was crossing my legs. Thinking back, I've been doing that a lot lately, I guess my body just has to get used to me sitting like that now! My second NSV was that I really miss wearing my rings but I'm not going to get them resized until I reach goal because I know that it's expensive and doing that too many times can damage your rings. I tried on some of my older rings and found one that hasn't fit since grade 9 now fits perfectly! Very exciting!

My favourites, although a little gross when pureeing but smell awesome so you get over it, were pureed homemade chicken stew and homemade meat sauce. For the chiken stew, I used diced up chicken breast seasoned with paprika, a can of low fat cream of mushroom, chicken broth, a carrot diced up, and an onion cut into wedges with a few spices thrown into the crock pot and let simmer on medium for like four hours until the liquid is like half and the chicken is nearly falling apart. Then I'd blend the chicken with a bit of the sauce to get things going and separately blend up the carrots with a bit of sauce, super yummy. I'd just store it in the fridge or freezer (but usually only made one breast at a time and that was enough for a few days meals so it kept okay in the fridge. When I was ready to eat, I'd measure out my portion of chicken and put a couple of tablespoons of chalet sauce from the packages you buy at the grocery store (surprisingly nothing too bad in their but salt, although that was my only real source of sodium in my meals so I figured it was okay) and microwave. Carrots, just microwave as is. 

For the meatsauce, it was really basic, extra lean ground beef, fried up with nothing in the fry pan, drained really well, put in the crock pot with whole stewed tomatoes, diced green peppers and mixed of italian spices. When done, blend and measure out a portion and top with a bit of parmeasan cheese. 

I found it easier to get over the thought of eating 'baby food' if it smelled like and tasted like something good that I might normally have. The good thing about these too is that when I started soft solids, these were some of the first things I tried because I knew they agreed with me.

Hope that helps, good luck!
 

 I'm sorry you're having such a hard time with the optifast. I was one of the odd ones who actually liked them (while the chocolate ones at least), but I hope it gets better for you. The best advice I read about Optifast was to time it out so that the hunger isn't as bad. I had a shake at 8am, 12pm, 4pm and 8pm and had my veggies (I had 1 cup of iceberg lettuce, 1/2 cup of thinly sliced cucumbers, and 1/2 cup of thinly sliced green peppers [thinly slicing them made it look like more in the bowl which helped me a lot because I felt less deprived with having a big bowl] with a bit of balsamic vinegar on top [my clinic okayed this but make sure yours does]) when my family had dinner. The second best advice was buying a shaker bottle (mine was from GNC), it has a little wire whisk in the bottom and when you shake it, it crushes any ice in the cup and mixes the powder without making it foamy like I found the blender did. Try as many different ways you can until you find a way you like. My favourite was plain chocolate with 500 mls of ice cold water and vanilla with banana extract and SF vanilla syrup and 500 mls of ice cold water and a couple of ice cubes.

I hope that helps and it gets better for you!   

 Thanks for your responses everyone! It sounds like I should be okay to try it.
 

 Looking good! Keep up the great work!  

Wow! Thanks for the super fast responses! Good to know I'll only have to wait a couple more months!
