food food food fooooooooood

I'm hungry... insanely hungry. My new diet (for 2 weeks... gack) includes: boiled-in-water-no-sugar cereal grains, eggs (thank goodness), boiled veggies, boiled chicken or fish (and I decided that baked fish or chicken is good, too... I mean, let's be real here...) and hard unsweetened bread stuff- like the stuff they let babies chew on when they're teething.
Oh, and I can have salt.
wow.

So far, I've been tickled pink to eat all that stuff and feel good afterwards... last night, though, I went to bed hungry... woke up hungry... ate an egg... hungry... ate some cooked buckwheat... hungry...
toughed it out till lunch
hungreeeeeeeeeee
baked some tillapia- tiny bit of lemon on top, brushed with an egg and breaded, salted, grated carrots on that and topped with leftover baked potato. Oh yeah- wrapped in foil. Baked it. Ate it.
hungry
ummm
hungry hungry hungry
Phyllis says it's a good sign... that all's going to be well... Let's hope. All I know is My.Appetite.Is.Back. Big time...

I'd like some of this:

My birthday cake... gorgeous, no?



Mom brought these- they're still in the cupboard... drool


oh my goodness sakes alive... a BLT



or how about this?


this was my reward after all my pre-op tests were done... poppy-seed crepes... truly lovely and delicious... and I will have more someday...


someday...
sigh
hungry

I'll go have a cup of tea and some hard tack...

    Glad your feeling better. Remember you only have one pancreas and an unhappy pancreas certainly has a way of getting your attention! Roger and Kate

    Do virtual dinner parties work as well as virtual tea parties? If so I'll bring creamed corn, fresh tomatoes and fried okra! (it does sounds as if you're getting well, as most sick people can't stand the thought of food. Getting well is welcomed news!)

    This menu of yours sounds oh so yummy! ;) I like Susan's suggestion of a virtual dinner party - I'll bring some good TX steak and twice baked potatoes. And sweet iced tea. Just because it's 20* outside doesn't mean you quit drinking iced tea. Dahlin'. Bless yah' heart.

    Just adding my "glad" to the others... that you're feeling better and hungry, hungry, hungry. Can't wait to hear you're well and eating all the good food your heart desires.

    I'm not big on boiled fish- that's why I decided that baked couldn't be worse than boiled! And- I reckon a real free-for-all is a few miles down the road yet... :(
