If lunch meat is wrong...

pineconey · August 2013

Then I don't want to be right. Seriously, the thought of food right now makes me queasy, but anything in sandwich form I'm ok with, including wraps, burritos, etc. I know there are some who are not eating lunch meat right now, but my doc gave it the ok and I'm so thankful!!

If its what you can eat, go for it.

All over office today people are eating deliciously stacked sandwiches! There is a huge one in the break room for anyone to get after and I've eyed that mother effer every time I go to the bathroom!! @-)

I quit cold turkey (pun intended) but I totally miss it. I felt like an awful person for wanting a sandwich but you are all making me feel way less guilty.

pineconey · August 2013

@marykathryn1987 I enjoy a good pun

SeattleMomma · August 2013

I love white soft bread. I eat PB&J everyday

sadurnba18 · August 2013

I've still been eating wraps...just with grilled chicken instead

lyndsey774 · August 2013

I can't eat at all

J&NL · August 2013

My dr told me I could have lunch meat unless it has been sitting in the fridge for more than 5 days.

JamiesWife2010 · August 2013

I've been loving turkey lunch meat this week. In fact, I just made turkey & mozzarella crescent rolls for dinner. :x

We had sandwiches at work for a luncheon. They looked too good to pass up - so I just popped mine in the microwave. It was SO GOOD!

I drink a small coke every couple days & honestly, I don't care. I believe in moderation/small portions for "controversial" foods/drinks.

Jelainey24 · August 2013

My doc said that its ok at places that have a quick turnaround like subway, even cold. It's when your husband buys lunch meat has one sandwich and the res

@Pineconey why are you a temptress with the meat!? The sandwich back there is from Quiznos safe or no? You tell me and ill do it I'm very easy to influence today!!

Btterfly307 · August 2013

My doc said lunch meat is fine, just not deli meat (which sits in those cases for who knows how long). As long as the lunch meat is packaged and not expired, you're fine. Subway is also fine according to my doc!

pineconey · August 2013

mrscrcalli your baby called. it said "eat the sandwich"

cgoldian · August 2013

I had half a panini at Panera yesterday and I swear it was the best thing EVER

Done!

LittleLady77 · August 2013

I just microwave the meat first. It I go to a sandwich place I will ask them to microwave the meat first too.

With DD, I ate lunchmeat on the regular, she's as healthy as an ox.

But, she has a third eye and a tail, so take it for whatever it's worth.

Scarlett&Gatsby · August 2013

The chances of listeria infecting cooked meat is pretty slim, anyway. The reason they tell you to heat it up is on the off chance that somehow, between slicing the cooked meat and packaging it, it came into contact with raw meat again. I've never worked at a deli, but I'm thinking for health code reasons, folks be keeping cooked meat from raw.

porterlove525 · August 2013

Mine also ok'd it. He said that you're more likely to catch listeria from cantaloupe than you are lunchmeat. Thank god too because I'm craving an Italian sub with extra pickles

deidremaria · August 2013

< I just made turkey & mozzarella crescent rolls for dinner. :x

That sounds good!

porterlove525 · August 2013

And I totally ate a hot dog last week. No guilt!

My OB said a coke once in a while is perfectly fine. I bought a coke as soon as I left her office

I love you for this!!!

AcaAwkward · August 2013

Rock on with your (fresh) lunch meat! If there were a McAllister's near me, I'd be eating a New Yorker with spicy mustard Right. This. Second.

Damn. That's the only thing that's sounded decent all week.

rtv3 · August 2013

mmmm... subways! and quiznos! Love 'em both

staceyemd · August 2013

We just got a Jimmy John's by my work. I tried the vegetarian sandwich and.... it was just OK. Glad to know if I try the turkey (like i REALLY wanted to) I'll be in good company!

angelaluisa · August 2013

Subway sounds so good right now! I tend to crave what I can't have. Man I could go for a nice glass of wine...

bingbongsmama · August 2013

Oh man, I'm wishing I had an appetite at all

I have one can a day of coke. Its well under the caffeine limit for us ladies and I don't drink coffee. Technically, its my coffee. Always in the morning. Like, right now :-)

Kriztyn · August 2013

Glad to hear that a Subway sandwich TOASTED would probably be okay.. I am at a loss for what to bring for lunch... and not that much sounds good anyway

I sure love Subway though!!

same here

patunia7321 · August 2013

Well, my doc advised that I shouldn't have 4 big Italians a day, but he also said he would suggest that pregnant or not.... Personally I think he has it out for the industry.

NicoleAnne416 · August 2013

I have up to 2 cups of coffee a day sometimes, I use the same soap (I use it on my face too, skin is skin so why do people change their face soap and not body soap? umm), deodorant, shampoo, conditioner... nail polish, lotion, etc. My child will survive. Jimmy Johns sounds amazing now!

Gracie Randolph · August 2013

I asked my dr about lunch meat and she said it is totally fine (doesn't need to be heated). We just can't have unpastuerized or undercooked meat.

bingbongsmama · August 2013

I didn't realize people changed soaps, that would never have occurred to me

EJChapman123 · August 2013

The largest listeria outbreak since 1998 came from cantaloupe....the largest food poisoning outbreak of 2013 came from packaged salad mix and organic spinach. Sushi in this country is flash frozen and all cheeses are pasteurized.

If you really want to keep that baby safe, I would avoid driving!

Seriously though, you guys are too hard on yourselves. To each their own but feeling guilty for merely wanting a sandwich is silly.

Xxooxtina · August 2013

Im actually finding the veggie subs at subway delicious! You can still have cheese (although i dont) and any of the yummy sauces. Extra pickles yes please!!
