When can I eat a sandwich?

[hockeyfan7 249]

I was eating lettuce just fine at 4 weeks out. I use Bibb lettuce or leaves of Romaine as the "bread" for the sandwich.

I had 3/4 of a cheeseburger on Saturday with Bibb lettuce for the bun.

Thanks for the suggestions everyone!

I've mostly been doing roll ups. I'll take the ham and salami, roll it up, and eat it like that. I haven't had cheese. I saw someone on here say it wasn't that good for us this early out? Not sure if that's true or not so I'm just staying away for now.

On another note, I remember when eating a sandwich I could put like 3 slices of ham or whatever deli meat and cheese inside the bread, but now my stomach can only fit 1 slice of ham and 1 slice of salami. It's so crazy to notice the differences

Anyway, thank you all for replying. You guys have been so much help. I'm gonna stick to my Protein and forget bread ever existed!????????

Who said cheese wasn't good for you early out? Some people who stick to low fat instead of low carb might say so, but it's been on my plan since early on and is highly endorsed by my doc.

I wouldn't rely on what "someone" on here said. If I eliminated everything one person on here said was bad I don't think I could eat anything LoL. Look at your doctors plan or check with your nutritionist/dietician.

Kinda hard to explain my thoughts here....my head wants bread...badly! I love the smell of warm bread and the look of it with butter melting all over it....but if you put it in front of me, my tummy scrunches into a little ball and screams....NOOOOO. I don't even get the piece of bread to my mouth. I guess that is the difference between "head hunger" and real hunger. I know, without even attempting it, that my tummy would rebel against that hot piece of buttered bread. But.....my head does miss it!
