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.

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 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.

I had one piece 3 weeks post op with egg whites and I was fine.
