No turkey from the deli EITHER MARCELLA

---

but it's not from the deli.. it's fresh turkey.. I can't eat that?

my dr. said its okay to eat a hotdog once a week! ID rather hit Bens then tuna fish sandwich anyway!

Fresh turkey should be ok. Its the processed meats that we should stay away from. and even cold cuts, we CAN have a little here and there... just not too much. (thats what I was advised)... make sure its a deli that has high turnover and the stuff isnt sitting around.
you should be fine.

I already told John thats what I want as soon as I give birth, a tuna sandwich on a whole wheat roll

That's the first thing Joe brought me when he came back to the hospital -- tuna on whole wheat toast!!!! YUMMY!!! It was the best sandwich I had in 9 months!!! Actually it was the only sandwich I had in 9 months because my dr told me to stay away from all coldcuts!!

My doc told me I can only have tuna once a week, and that I should make sure that I heat up any deli meats before eating them (which is not so convenient for me since I usually run out quickly during lunch to a deli, etc.).
Needless to say, I am having a hard time finding things to eat for lunch lately!

Very true! No, I took advantage of the cake thing at breakfast -- they had a buffet and they had muffins and danish!!

I ate Tuna through out my pregnancy and everything was fine.

I was told that anything in moderation would be fine. He even went so far as saying that the chances of listeria in deli meats are slim to none if you're buying a reputable brand from a reputable source, since the FDA is so strict with the way that food is regulated here in the US.

That being said, I'm not a huge tuna person, but when I feel like having it, I do. Same goes for cold cuts, hot dogs and all the other foods on the do not eat list. The only thing I've completely avoided is raw sushi and rare meat.

Marcella ALL I craved was tunafish when I was pregnant. I was told once a week on it - I ate it twice a week. I couldn't help it.

Cold cuts I was told weere fine from a reputable place that I knew kept things fresh. I stayed away from prosciutto, salami, ham and stuff like that though because of the processsing. Ate only well done roast beef and roast turkey.

I didnt' eat any goat cheese, brie, feta and other soft cheeses -

No alcohol obviously and I limited my caffeine

Fish I don't like so I went on as usual (besdies the tuna)

my doc said no more that 6 ounces of cooked fish a week. No tuna steaks but that tuna canned was ok.... She said shellfish was a better option. I miss sushi and fish in general as I probably ate it 4 times a week prior to this... Hmm not related but I miss red wine and feta too.....

Jenny you forgot all the cookies and ice cream!

Don't let me be a bad influence, but I eat whatever I really want. My Dr never did give me a list to stay away from, just said moderation is the key.

I am not a huge tuna fan, but have had two or three sandwichs in a week (but go plenty of weeks without it.) I can't live w/o bleu cheese, so I still eat that regularly! In fact, I am not sure you can live in Buffalo and not eat Bleu Cheese!
