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💜

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
