I eat chinese but I have the sauce on the side, what I really love it General Tso chicken but I will only try 1 piece when my hubby gets it because it is breaded, no rice! Well take care hun and have fun.. ~Hugs~ Debra P

Good Morning Everyone, Im pre-op just until next wednesday the 10th. (I can't wait- it seems as if the days are just standing still!) I love diet soda and have cut it out for 2 weeks now...I don't miss it much. I do love bread and icecream. It's a toos up for me which I will miss...I say Both. Rose

Rose, Your day is coming as well... I wish you the very best hun. ~hugs~ I know as your day gets closer it seems to drag because you just want to get on with it. I was just wanting to get onto my recovery. I was never really a bread eater but now I watch my hubby eat it and I just crave it with butter, so weird. Well ice cream was a staple in my diet pre-op but now I have not even had the f/f, s/f kind yet. We will see how it goes...... Take care hun adn thanks for posting ~hugs~ Debra P

hey deb, i am here too.. doing pretty good. I miss soda too.. not that I drank alot of it.. but I enjoyed it too. I also kinda want a hamburger with the bun.. cause it's the summer.. but I have tried a bite.. and did not like it.. soooo I won't be doing that again for a while... Other than that.. for the most part I can eat anything just very small amounts. Take care Marla

Marla, Hello hun.. ~hugs~ Yeah a good cheese burger with fries and a large Diet Coke....mmmmmmmm that was a good meal back then but now it would just be the burger alone. but would love to taste that one more time. Yes I have been pretty lucky as well with eating so that is ok. Well take care hun and thanks for posting. ~hugs~ Debra P
