Okay pre-ops, what will you miss the most?

I have just two words. . . PANERA BREAD! It's truly sad that I have only eaten at Panera Bread twice in my life, but I find it hard to imagine life without it. LOL When we left the surgical seminar last Tuesday night, I had a stomach bug (and puked everywhere I might add - gross) Anyway, I somehow found the stamina to EAT! I had the 1/2 panini sandwich, 1/2 french onion soup, and 1/2 greek salad. I think I'll probably go by there tomorrow after my appt. We don't have a panera bread near my home.

CAKE!!!! ANY KIND OF CAKE!! and im PRAYING that I will be one of those who is BLESSED to gag at the taste of sugar!!!!!! I also hope that one day i can eat a good steak again....at cattlemens....even if its just a bite or two!!!

LOL i must be really strange cause i can't think of anything i'm gonna miss too much cause i know eventually i'll at least be able to "sample" a bit of it all. However, the wait for red meat ok may prove long and tedious ..... but unless i go to a restuarant taht serves prime rib i should be ok w/o it. Outta site ---- outta mind is my new motto ... lol

Good motto cristi!!!! let me tell you, around here its birthday PIES from now on!! rofl!! i can pass up a pie any day....well, except pumpkin and im gonna work that one out!! rofl!!!

I am not a pre op anymore....but I thought I wouild post anyway!!!! I really thought I would miss sweets--cakes especially--but thank the heavens for splanda!!!! I can make almost anything with it. I have problems with coconut, though & love coconut cream pie & miss all of it. THe Texture especially. As hot as it is, I would nearly kill to eat a Braums' banana split--the whole thing---old fashioned style!!!! Have'nt found a replacement for that yet!!!!

Becky, Your post cracked me up! Because I have been saying for two years, at some point I may be willing to go through an afternoon of pure misery just to go to Braum's and enjoy my old favorite...the fancy sundae with caramal and fudge and pecans on vanilla....well...it still sounds good, but not THAT good ! LOL! Mendi

I completely understand Mendi!!!I think maybe one bite...Then I know what would happen & that stops me dead in my tracks. I have to be careful on SF Ice cream, too--most especially Braums. I am a yogurt freak, though to get my calcium fix. Becky Open RNY Dr. Pearce 10/08/02 293-143
