Ok I'm allowed to start regular food now..I'm making ham dinner for my family for Christmas...I'm a little leary of trying ham...I'vE had some pork and it was ok...just wondering if ham might be too much bling so early out (5 wk) ...has anyone tried it yet?

Yes most definitely a struggle lol! I didn't do any baking but I did pick up some goodie trays at Walmart..I'm trying to streer clear! Ugh I have had a couple nibbles tho...sad it's not making me sick! I've tried to keep the nibbling to some cheese and special k crackers but I found myself looking at the cookies..break one little piece off..yep, the rest is still there teasing me!

I baked two maple pecan pies. My favorite. Ugh

I've been nibbling. No Cookies yet but I know I'll will today. From my cheese dinner yesterday I hit 800 calories and freaked out lol. Funny. Last year it would have been one meal.

The pie sounds great! And a nibble or two isn't so bad..before it would have been more than a little nibble for me! I always think it's best to have a small bite of something to ease the craving rather than trying not to have anything and then

LoO pretty soon you cave and eat the whole thing! That's how I am anyway...I'm happy to report I had no issues with the ham! I had just a small piece and about 3tsp of cheesy potatoes and half a dinner roll...i was going to say that's the smallest holiday meal I've ever had but I guess Thanksgiving I was in the hospital and only had a bit of cream soup!

Eating ham was my biggest post op mistake. I was sick for hours after eating it. Never again

Sorry to hear that...i had some ham again this morning scrambled up in an egg with a dash of moz cheese..was really good but I could only eat half....my dog loves me even more since surgery haha!

I cooked a honey spiral ham for Christmas and I've eaten it for several meals now....no problem at all. I made sure to pick pcs. w/o fat.
