It's probably not high enough in Protein to have a nutritional value to us, but if you have an egg and just want flavor then I can see the desire for real bacon. I eat about 1/3 slice of thick bacon with my egg and find just that small amount of flavor satisfying enough. And some NUTs really get on that low fat bandwagon to the nth degree, just sayin'. (But w/o some fat I can't poop, so I'm not following that bandwagon).

I am 2 weeks and a few weeks post op, so I am able to eat soft foods. What I want to know is when can I ear bacon? Lol. That's really the main thing I miss.

I waited for the real food stage for bacon. the debate on pork or turkey bacon. (don't forget sausage) Nummmmm

The leaner the meat - lower in calories and usually higher Protein grams.

2 slices Walmart turkey bacon 5g protein 70 calories - 80 calories and 5g protein. I use 1 slice of real bacon because the macos are pretty comparable. I love it on cobb salad and crumble it in scrambled eggs.

Two jimmy dean turkey sausage links 67 calories 8g protein - pork sausage link 113 calories - 6 g protein I tolerate turkey sausage better it has less grease/fat.

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!

      Today was rough...
      I've been experiencing a headache all day today that just won't go away. I'm thinking it's now progressing into a migraine. Does anyone else get headaches from taking vitamin B12? I did some research and learned that usually a lack of B12 causes headaches. But I've noticed when I take it, I have reoccurring headaches. 😫
