Hi Mary Jo, My surgery was 6/15/05. I have tried corn on the cob. I checked with my doctor and he said to either eat just the soft part off the cob or cut off the soft part, don't eat in to the whole kernal as you would usually do. Enjoy. Ginny C. Warrenton, VA

I've not had any problems with corn on the cob - chew, chew, chew and know when to quit - like always! Good luck, Kristie

Well MARY jo.... CORN and steak was my menu the other night when i got sick and got scared to death buy what happened. IT most probably all was not chewed enough related. I ate frozen corn on the cob which was softer... good luck enjoy and just chew chew chew! YES new foods stink especially when your out. FOR whatever reason the 2 times I had problems i had a gues over the house and didnt chew right. GO FIGURE guess I better dine alone for awhile! LOL LOVE LISA 310/233/ONDERLAND somewhere

I've had a bit of corn on the cob a couple of times now. What I did was use a knife to cut the corn off the cob (not too deep) and then scraped the cob to get the "cream" of the corn. Then I mixed it all together and had a natural "creamed corn". It was really good and I had no problems with it. I even cut a couple of extra cobs and put it in the freezer - now I can just break off a little chunk (thin layer frozen in a ziplock bag) and nuke it for part of my dinner - YUM! Penny

I read where corn on the cob didn't make a lot of people and their new pouches happy. I have eaten it (eaten = 3-4 bites of corn) and had no trouble. For my family, I cooked corn on the cob recently. ... Here's a recipe or two: CORN SALAD with LIME-CILANTRO DRESSING ON LETTUCE GREENS YIELD: 4 cups (4 - 8 servings) By Mark Hall You can use canned corn for this salad but sweet corn, at the height of the seaon, makes this very colorful salad something special. 2 cups fresh corn kernels (from 2 to 4 ears) ½ teaspoon freshly minced garlic ¼ cup white wine (For WLS patients, just omit the wine and use either water or chicken broth) ¾ cup finely diced red bell pepper ¾ cup finely diced green bell pepper ½ cup finely diced red onion 2 tablespoons freshly chopped cilantro 1 tablespoon freshly chopped parsley 1/8 teaspoon cayenne ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper ½ teaspoon salt Lime-Cilatro Dressing: 2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar (FOR WLS patients use maybe 1 tablespoon of water to cut this... just depends on your pouch) 2 teaspoons lime juice Braise the corn with the garlic in the white wine (Or broth or water for WLS) for 5 minutes. When the corn is cooked, toss with the diced peppers and onion. Mix the dressing and toss with the vegetables and seasoning. Serve at room temperature. An alternative is to cook the corn while still on the cob. Boil the corn in broth (it adds a bit of flavor) and add some garlic cloves and bay leaf to the water. Boil the cob until done. Then, clean and scrape the cob down to gather the corn. Place the 2 cups of freshly cut and scraped corn into the skillet with lime juice and braise the corn. Then, toss with the diced peppers and onions. Mix the dressing and toss with the vegetables and seasonings.
