Yay I get full foods back!!

Woohoo!!! I just had my 4 month appointment with the nutritionist and got my four month food list, which basically is we get everything back.  Beef, pork, citrus, tomatoes, starches and good grains, here I come! (All in moderation of course).

In all seriousness, the thing I am most excited to have back especially living here in the fabulous southwest is....


SALSA!!!!!!!!!

I am with you on that.  I have been wanting Salsa soooo bad.

my 4 months will be on Halloween.  I am going to make salsa and I want about 10 chips (of course the healthy ones).  ha......

I have been cheating a wee bit and using salsa on beans when eating out but at home I have been a good little girl and using tabasco or hot sauce (still spicy, no tomato!).  Salsa has always been a major staple of my diet and I am psyched to get it back.  In fact I am thinking since I will be in Phoenix a Chipotle burrito bowl w/ pico de gallo and hot salsa w/ shredded beef and pinto beans sounds divine (of course I can only eat like 1/6th of the sucker if that).  I really just want the salsa.

ha.....yeah I had some refried beans the other day with cheese and a little salsa.  do you know why they say no tomatoes?  they are healthy, is it the acid in them?

 It is the acidity as to why we can't have tomatoes.

Just be real careful. I was told to introduce one new food at a time. My experience after surgery was that the things I used to love, can't stand (was a big chocolate eater, cant stand it now). Your taste buds will change alot but juust be careful and do one food at a time. That way if you have a bad reaction you know which one did it. I was not given any food things to follow, I was told 6 weeks of 1 ounce soft or liquid (i ended up doing 8 wks cause I missed my first post op visit and they would'nt let me start eating food, real food). After that I was told to start introducing new foods and to be sure that meat I ate had to be very tender, like dark meat of chicken.
