I eat sweet potatoes. I microwave them until they're soft then slice them up, put a little margarine on them, romano cheese and some breadcrumbs. I bake them another couple minutes and then they're ready to eat. They are yummy!

Topic: RE: burgers and other sandwiches
Red meat makes me ill also. For some reason my body has a hard time digesting it. Honestly, the consistency of the ground meat of the burger when chewed grosses me out since now we need to "Chew" our food instead of inhaling it. Now, you come across the grissle (sp?) and that alone makes me ill.
When I have no other choice but to stop through a drive thru I order a grilled chicken salad. It's still not a great choice but better than a greasy burger! Or, I go to subway and get a tuna wrap. Their tuna is yummy!

Topic: RE: rice and pasta
Pasta doesn't agree with me at ALL!!! I get violently ill from it. Rice I have tried and haven't seem to have much of a problem with it. I choose not to eat it because it fills me up quickly and then I feel yucky.

Topic: RE: time between food and drink?
I sip from time to time while I eat. I am trying to get back on track. My doctors rule of thumb is no liquids 1/2hr before and 1 hour after eating.

LOL, your cracking me up Lisa..
Your making me hungry..
I was on pureed foods only last Thanksgiving. We put stuffing into the magic bullet and made it mush. That was my Thanksgiving meal. but you know what?? It was the best ever!!! I have made it since. my son doesnt really like it.. So we just do without.. Havent tried sweet potatoes ro squash yet either..
Cant eat waffles, pancakes or french toast. not even with sugar free syrup. I think cuz of the bread. sits like a rock.. Well you know, I havent tried waffles, just thought I cant have them.. Maybe I will try a bite next time..
I think I explained my bread issue in the other post. Can only eat half of a hot dog bun..
Luvs and Hugs!

Hi Lisa..
Love your questions today...
Chinese: I have tried it. Doesnt sit well.. I can eat the chicken out of the Kung Pow (sp?) and that is ok..
Italian: I just get soup & Salad there (Like at Olive Garden).. Usually the soup is to spicy still. If pizza fits in here. Yes, I can have one piece and the topping off another.
Indian: havent had it since surgery. Not one of my favorites..
Mexican: We have this resturant here called Avlias. They have the BEST, BEST chicken soup with Avacados.. onions.. rice.. it is the *******ways get that. I can not have (soft) tortillas. Oh my... they make me soooooo sick.. Corn or flour.. OOhh, just thinking about it makes me feel bad.. I can eat chips though - I dont do it very often, but if we are out, I will have a few..
Want to try Sushi sooooo bad.. I am so scared though. It just seems like raw fish wouldnt digest very well. Maybe for my year, I will try some.
Topic: RE: burgers and other sandwiches
I have a really hard time with red meat. Unless it is crumbled. why?? I have no idea. I dont order a burger when I go out cuz i know it will be to hard on me and my pouch. I have ordered a Jr. Cheeseburger one time at Wendys. Ate it without the top bun. No problems that one time.. then tried it again like 2 months later.. So didnt work for me.. So in 11 months, I have had 1 burger.. and a bite of one like 4 times. I just not rather deal with the problems it makes.
I have a real hard time with bread, all kinds, unless it is toasted and then I still can have only like 2 bites. Now the weirdest thing is..... I can eat a hot dog bun and it doesnt bother me at all. Often I have a half of a hot dog bun with Pnut butter and sugar free jelly for lunch. Thats about as close as I get to a sandwich. I eat lunch meat and cheese just no bread..
I so miss my Big Macs.. I Loved, loved loved them before surgery.. How horrible is that?? I would eat at least 3 a week.. I use to be a HUGE fast food queen.. So glad this surgery has helped me changed my ways. Helped my family too.
