RAI diet started
I started my RAI diet on Monday…following the cookbook and eating nothing from the market with salt. Whole Foods had a lot of options which was nice. I have been eating corn chips without salt…are those okay? When I run out of options I get hungry. I am craving candy so I went to Walgreens and looked through all the candy…most of them did not contain the dyes that the cookbook says to avoid. I chose gumdrops and tossed the red ones to be safe.
Shots are Feb 20 and 21 which I am not looking forward too but since I had the same shot for 3 months to get pregnant, I hope I can handle two days.
Hope everyone to faring well out there!

Hello Rachel. I’m new to blogging…my name is Jennifer, not Nennafur (my username). Anyway, I’m not sure about the corn chips but I did find no-salt rice cakes w/ almond butter to be quite tasty. Popcorn w/ no-iodine salt too. I made it the old fashioned way…oil in the pan, shaking constantly. I also treated myself to Smoothie King…a “Light and Fluffy” that they say is made w/ no salt. It satisfied my need to go “out”, and tasted really good! I’ll be in your shoes in June and hope to research more by then….if you find any tips, would love to know! Good luck and try to pamper yourself…it helps. I went for a massage during the LID and rented fun movies during RAI.
Hello,
I am almost finished with my second week of the diet. I am having a hard time with it. I have been eating a lot of vegtables, fruits, roasted potatoes, some chicken and steak. Oatmeal with brown sugar and frozen fruit bars for snack. I tried the rice cakes with cinnamon, but they were not that tasty. I have my thyrogen shots Monday and Tuesday, radiation on Wednesday and scan on Friday. This is just to see if the cancer is back. My Lymph nodes are enlarged and I never had RAI because my cancer was small. Remnant came up suspiscious last year, but they didn’t do anything. I hope you loose some weight on the diet. I have lost 13 pounds in 12 days. Nice. I better have something good come out of this diet. LOL. Hope all goes well for you. Please keep in touch and good luck.
