Do you think you'll ever be able to have your 'cake' and eating too?

Have you ever wondered if you will ever be able to 'eat normally' again. I know that I did and wasn't sure that I would. I can tell you that now, more than 3 years post op, I do. 

First, I should let you know that my 'normal' has changed in many ways, but there are times when I want to have a juicy cheeseburger, and I do just that. That said, I used to cook more like Paula Deen and now I have made some changes. Many of those changes are due to my learning to cook smarter while still being able to enjoy some of the lovely things I used love. Here are some things that I posted in response to another members post saying that she sorely missed being able to have a juicy burger or wonderful pasta dish:

Check out Devin Alexander's rendition of a BBQ Cheeseburger. It weighs in with an impressive 33 grams of protein and only 'costs' you about 300 calories. While making this a daily staple might not be realistic, you can definitely have your cheeseburger and still keep your hardwon healthy new weight.
