Could be worse, housemate cooks bacon every morning. I can walk by cake...but the smell of bacon drives me wild...didnt know I was hungry till I smell it...and I work from home!

If you see a weird news story of someone beaten to a pulp by a package of bacon...you know why..

I made shrimp wrapped with proscuitto instead. It satisfies my desire for bacon without the fat. Nom nom nom

I make bacon wrapped stuffed jalepeno at least every other week. Yummy.

What do you stuff the jalapenos with Butter? I was thinking of stuffing them with string cheese but I'm not sure.

My wife likes cream cheese in hers and I prefer a bit of good old fashioned cheddar in mine.....usually a dab of shredded 2% sharp....along with a small piece of chicken fajita.

Oh sad day! And with that discard of a luscious red confection, I have a confession....

I had this surgery too soon!

I have never tried a red velvet cake!!! They are everywhere now... As a matter of fact I crossed paths with one yesterday and actually put a call into my husband to have him tell me to walk away :P I did, but not without trying a sample of a cream puff first :D

It doesn't have any kind of a special taste, imo. I made one once and it was basically a chocolate cake recipe with a lot of red food coloring, the icing was better than the cake. Maybe I just had a bad recipe though.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
