I went to my absolute fave place to eat, Panera Bread, and I passed all the delish breads and pastries without even considering getting something. I ordered the chicken noodle and only drank the broth (I'm on my pre-op liquid diet) and got water instead of my signature iced green tea. This is a huge accomplishment for me, because I used to have a toasted cinnamon crunch bagel every morning after work with an iced green tea, of course. While I haven't been perfect on the pre-op diet, I did start back at the gym after 3 years of not doing a single thing. I lost 11 pounds the first week. Surgery on Tuesday!!!!'

I have to stay out of the place !!!! I have no self control in there.

Panera!! My gracious, those bagels are so good. That is a huge accomplishment...I am still weak for Panera...I have to stay away for a while I don't get sleeved until late sept. Good for you! and hope you have a speedy recovery :-)

I can only have their soups.....used to LOVE the bagels with cream cheese and the bagel breakfast s/w. Not it would make my hurl.

I could only hope the cinnamon crunch bagel would make me sick post-surgery, so I wouldn't ever be tempted by it again, lol.

I hear the panera bread commercials on pandora radio all the time! They are so annoying! So I don't think if I ever tried panera I could like it because their advertising is that bad....

That's funny. If only it were that easy for me stay away from food. I know a lot restaurants with annoying commercials, it only makes me think about food more.

That's where my addiction started, I was in graduate school studying to become an ACNP. My group and I would get there around 8am and not leave until everybody understood everything. Those were some long days, lol.
