Hmm....wonder if i can get reduced salt bacon? LOL, now you got me wanting bacon! GRRRRRRRRRRR!!! _______________________ Yes Hormel makes a low sodium bacon. I have been buying the sweet cured bacon that isn't so salty and slightly sweet. I would love a good BLT, But it's a little early for good vine ripe tomatoes. I have found out that I am very picky about my mayo now, Nothing but Kraft or Blue plate and stock up when it's on sale. Good thing it's BBQ season and that stuff is on sale. I went through a period where I ate corn on the cob last year, and ate corn ever meal. This year it was strawberries until the diarrhea made my butt bleed(sorry for the graphic detail). We found the strawberry farm and actually picked our own....(lots cheaper that way) Usually my cravings involve fresh fruit or veggies in some way which is good as long as the stuff is in season. Right now it's a good time to have the fresh veggie and fruit craving....LOL. I love cheerios but for some reason cereal lies heavy on my stomach and I usually throw up...Wonder why? I also wonder why I never lose weight when my addiction is corn or salads, but on the other hand don't gain when I'm eating tons of eggs scrambled in butter with toast and butter. Thank God, without this surgery I'd be over 400 now. You know, I can't remember never being a WLS of some sort and wondered if it was a WLS thing or a food addict thing....I guess I'm not alone.

Guest guest Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 Well, ya'll know I go from one food addiction to another. How else did I get to the point where I needed the DS? There was the Starbucks coffee addiction- that was a long running one. And there was the salad addiction. And the Jack n the Box tacos. And now I am addicted to bacon. I have even gotten out of bed in the middle of the night to cook bacon! Yep, I am insane. hugs, cindy lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 Listen folks, hit Costo and get their precooked bacon. 30-60 seconds in the microwave and it's ready (well, it's ready out of the package if you like cold bacon). It's marvelous. It's about $10 for 50 pieces but there is no shrinkage so you really get your money's worth! Also, drop the margarine! Go for the butter. The chemicals in margarine make it 100 times worse than anything butter can do for you. I was a margarine person until I took chemistry two years ago and learned what horrible crap margarine is. _____ From: DS_Friends_Keshishian [mailto:DS_Friends_Keshishian ] On Behalf Of MDL1031@...

Guest guest Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 I have been playing with fire and eating rhubarb sauce, yummy! It is the food highest in oxalates, according to my memory. Well, kidney stones here I come! Nah, remember last fall when I did lithotripsy in my spa? I have been flank pain free so months. In fact, I forgot all about that pain I used to have until just now. Why did I plant a rhubarb root knowing I was at risk of kidney stones as a DS patient? Dunno. LIke to live dangerously, I guess.

Guest guest Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 Hey Cindee, Yeah they do have reduce sodium bacon. We've bought it for quite a while. I believe around here the brand is Bar-S. There are probably several different brands though. Goodluck! Love ya, Dani CaudilloFire@... wrote: Hmm....wonder if i can get reduced salt bacon? LOL, now you got me wanting bacon! GRRRRRRRRRRR!!!

They have a special of tea and a BLT for 2.99 and I will be alone tomorrow at lunch, Hate to cook when I'm alone. Speaking of sonic, Have you ever tried their ultimate tots? It has chili, onions, ranch dressing, and jalapenos. Yummmmmy! It's a meal in it's self. I might have to go find me something to eat too. The bacon is frozen and no tomatoes, Oh well, guess it will be eggs and toast again....LOL. BTW, Do you guys find you eat more at night than in the daytime? I'd rather eat at midnight than noon. Always have. I read that some people have a disorder where they eat more at night and almost nothing in the daytime. It describe me to a tee. I bet I consume 85% of my calories/food after 9pm. I always have. Mel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 Lee For the last several months I've been addicted to Tomatoes. I buy them in bulk from Costco. A midsized tomato that is still connected to the vine (the tomatoes name starts with a " C " ) God those are good tomatoes. I take 4-6 chop them up, salt and pepper like a crazed woman and chow down. I do this 2-4 times a day! I can't get enough. For the locals...if you want a killer BLT you gotta go to 's Burger. They put enough bacon on it for 3-4 normal sandwiches. I eat them often. And...'s Burger serves PEPSI!...lol...very important to this junkie! Hugs Jo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 Dunno, Mel, but I was hungry for chips today. Didn't eat any, however. I ate popcorn instead. Oh, strawberries are another food high in oxalates. lol Rhubarb is very tart. THe stems are eaten, trim off the leaf and the root. The stems should be moist and tender, not woody. The ones I see here in the grocery stores are always too mature and woody, that is why I grew my own. They don't like the heat so it is growing under the roof where it only gets morning light, outside Tylar's old bedroom. It loves it there. Maybe all the bird poop is helping, too, lol. Yuck. You have to put alot of sugar with it. It boils up in a scant amount of water quite quickly. When it is softened it is ready to eat. You make a sauce. I eat it straight, but you could put it over icecream, for example. Yum. I never make pies or preserves, but I should, huh? Preserves are good, I just don't do them.

Guest guest Posted May 26, 2006 Report Share Posted May 26, 2006 LOL! Jim, I edited my response because at first I told Mel et al that you should use one part sugar for each one part rhubarb. THen I thought, well, that might be a little sweet for some people. Marta I got a cure for that lock jaw, jim > > Marta, saying that " rhubarb is very tart " is like saying the Titanic had a > little trouble crossing the Atlantic Ocean.

Guest guest Posted May 26, 2006 Report Share Posted May 26, 2006 , Yogurt and saurkraut! Gag girl! Get thee to the store and buy BACON! I buy the pre-cooked (like Jim) and eat it early and often! I switched to bacon when I couldn't get my beloved Jack tacos anymore (a year ago) - it has only gotten really out of hand in the past couple of months. ANd Mel, only Hellmans Mayo for this gal. Aren't we a funny bunch? Oh and Jo, I was addicted to the little Grape tomatos last summer - tore me up! but I couldn't resist them til my bottom became raw! Yep, I am a weird kid! I am convinced that I would have packed on another 100 pounds in the last 4 years had I not got switched. hugs, cindylee > in WA > who can only find yogurt and saurkraut in the fridge....... > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 26, 2006 Report Share Posted May 26, 2006 Try Robbies nursery on the corner of Calloway (I think) and...shoot. Um,...oh, crap. Rd? The road that turns into Santa Fe and then into Hwy 43 leading to Shafter. They have the best roots. I have seen it at Home Depot, but they looked tiny and pathetic. It won't be available this time of year, but call them and ask when they will get it. They should be out of it by now as it needs to be planted in cool weather. It IS tasty even though it is not as red as I remember. And, the best part, I do not seem to be forming kidney stones! lol Maybe I ought to cut some and freeze it to share with you. Let me know.

Guest guest Posted May 27, 2006 Report Share Posted May 27, 2006 Hi Lee! You are so cute! I love bacon myself. The way I dealt with it for awhile was using soy bacon by Morningstar Farms. Be warned, though, it smells (and tastes) just like regular bacon but the smell will permeate your kitchen for HOURS. My husband has banned me from having it at home. lol! Hugs and love!

Guest guest Posted May 27, 2006 Report Share Posted May 27, 2006 Hi Cindee! I didn't hear that you had a flood! Yikes! I hope everything's okay now. I wish I could eat like you! What I wouldn't give to have a big, yummy, bean and cheese chimichanga! If I did, I'd blow my husband out of the house and wouldn't be able to face the public the next day. lol! Hugs!
