It's probably not high enough in Protein to have a nutritional value to us, but if you have an egg and just want flavor then I can see the desire for real bacon. I eat about 1/3 slice of thick bacon with my egg and find just that small amount of flavor satisfying enough. And some NUTs really get on that low fat bandwagon to the nth degree, just sayin'. (But w/o some fat I can't poop, so I'm not following that bandwagon).

I am 2 weeks and a few weeks post op, so I am able to eat soft foods. What I want to know is when can I ear bacon? Lol. That's really the main thing I miss.

I waited for the real food stage for bacon. the debate on pork or turkey bacon. (don't forget sausage) Nummmmm

The leaner the meat - lower in calories and usually higher Protein grams.

2 slices Walmart turkey bacon 5g protein 70 calories - 80 calories and 5g protein. I use 1 slice of real bacon because the macos are pretty comparable. I love it on cobb salad and crumble it in scrambled eggs.

Two jimmy dean turkey sausage links 67 calories 8g protein - pork sausage link 113 calories - 6 g protein I tolerate turkey sausage better it has less grease/fat.

      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.
