Yo, I'm from Philly
I just couldn't take it anymore....I had a little piece of a good soft pretzel last night. Not even the knot, It was glorious! Of course i waited til I was home, not knowing how it would sit. No problem at all! And now my craving is satisfied. The "old" me would've eaten at least 2 whole pretzels. (Oh yea, I also had a couple licks of chocolate chip gelati....heaven....)
Can't see a problem with it, as long as it doesn't become the "gateway drug". Eventually, our tummies will be stronger and we'll be able to handle more. Right now, since you and I had our surgeries pretty recently, our tummies can be pretty sensitive. It must have felt great - a Philly pretzel is awesome. You can have a cheesesteak, too - at least the insides!
That doesn't sound so bad. Maybe two months out is a soft spot. I had to try some brown rice triscuits from my latest shopping trip. I made 4 little sandwiches with cream cheese - no ill effects yet (4 hours and counting - more for the game tonight). I too like the gateway drug comparison. Pretty funny. Luckily I still don't have room to go to far off track.
soft pretzel and a rita's water ice. oh yeah. .
my co-workers laugh at me, 4 years out and i will only eat 1/2 a pretzel and a few bites of a child's size water ice (mango - yum). i put the rest in the freezer and scrape off a few spoonfuls when the urge hits me.
in my book, it's all about moderation and balance
