@nycmusic When my husband has a banana on his cereal, I will often grab a slice or two. It's just enough for the taste! Mandarin oranges are good, and on the "yes" list. Tangerines are on the good list. It's a challenge, and while it takes time to figure it all out, the effort is definitely worth it!

Almost every Tuesday morning, we meet with a small group for a "Tuesday morning breakfast club" at one person's house. Often, the food choice is not good for my diet plan. But to be social I have just a bit. It is a treat for me, and then it's back to the grind of what I should be eating. And it satisfies my craving.

@gingerw Hi Ginger...This is very reassuring for and I feel less alone in this CKD stage 3 b journey...I find it sometimes very discouraging when friends want me to eat something I know is wrong for me...so now I try to be brave and say I already ate..not hungry(if if I am) I take a water or coffee or 1/2 a grapefruit to join in.... here's a tip for drinking at a party, I always have water with ice and twist to which I add a TBSP of red wine.....turns everything pink and evreyone is happy and thinks I'm drinking. Thank you for your wise words
