It is called guanciale and it is delicious. It is pretty much the opposite of Canadian bacon! Canadian bacon is super lean smoked/cured pork tenderloin.

Yes ... not at all similar to Canadian bacon. The difference between guanciale and pork jowl bacon is that guanciale isn't smoked, while the bacon is.

My first attempt at pizza using a cauliflower crust was a success....I ate half of it and was super full. Will cut back on the toppings next time....used ground beef, canadian bacon, baby bella mushrooms, black olives, homemade pizza sauce and mixed Italian cheeses. Whole thing was 540 Calories, 44 grams Protein, 10.4 net carbs and 36 grams fat.

Thank you, I get all my knowledge from the food Network and did not know the smoking difference!

Why jowl bacon vs. regular? The fat percentage or something else? I've never even heard of pork jowl bacon before!

I love hearing how other people cook! I've never used pepper vinegar, either!

For me, it is more of a substitute for ham hocks, rather than bacon. I've never cooked it and eaten it on it's own. I have only used it to add flavor to dishes.

It has two benefits over bacon & ham hocks. It's sooo cheap. I don't remember the exact price, but well under $2/lb, maybe even like $1.29?? So that's a benefit over bacon. It's also possible to portion out into small portions, and doesn't take up as much room in a pot as a ham hock.

These are the ones I got, they are at Natural Grocers if you have that store there or you can order online. They are kept frozen.

Mix the following...

Last night's dinner: Shrimp Ceviche #yum

140 cals, 29g Protein, 8 net carbs. ATE IT ALL. Would have gone for seconds, but didn't want to risk it.

Can we drink caffeine tea? Some say yes and others say no.

Before in another life I would have said sure why not? It's just a little tea/coffee But now I'm adamant on following your team's instructions. If it's included/excluded, there's likely a beneficial reason that they personally know of despite debate

💜Good Luck💜

      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.
