Pickle and bologna and my 6 week checkup

Yet another crazy craving...pickle and bolgna (ground up) sandwiches. I only use one piece of bread (toasted) and it tastes wonderful!! Something different anyway. I went to see the doc last Friday...he said I make this surgery look easy! I have had limited problems..other than eating the wrong food or eating too fast..I am back to work doing my 12 hour shifts and doing just fine. I have lost 35lbs....my surgery was 12-22. P.S. Can anyone eat meat yet?? I had a hamburger patty last night (ate 3 bites, tasted so good) but only visited. I should be more patient shouldn't I??

Hello, I REALLY wanted a hamburger so I went and bought some BOCA BURGERS. They are a soy product, lots of protein, but they taste SO GOOD! Would never know it wasn't meat!

Tracy How do you cook your boca burger? I got them once but I didn't do such a great job with them.

My surgery was 12/29...I was allowed meat last week and I had a hamburger pattie twice....it was great!! Probably what I have missed the most. Bev

I'm eating just about anything I want now. I even ate a small salad this weekend. I can't do steak or pork chop, but everything else is fair game. It's nice to be able to eat again. Jodie (12/15/03) 235/198/128
