Topic: RE: time between food and drink?
I still wait about an hour after I eat. I have a really hard time with my pouch still. If I drink before an hour after I eat, I throw it all up. I get foamys really bad, hick ups so bad it hurts..
I really dont pay attention to when I drink before I eat. So I am sure I have a few sips before a meal.
My Doc told me 1/2 hour before and after. So the hour after makes up for the 1/2 hour before??? Hee heee..

hmmmm never heard of them. With winter coming up, yeah yeah yeah, I know, not for another few months, but being that I'm cold now, I love the sugar free hot cocoa. Mix a scoop of protein powder in it, YUM-O!

Topic: RE: "ethnic" restaurants...what do you eat?
Hmmmm..
Chinese - I can eat the crab rangoons. Those are filled with crab and ricotta cheese, if you get a good place, they are yummy.
Italian - pizza. I can eat a small slice. I try to get one with meats and/or veggies, but I usually don't eat the crust.
Indian - don't eat it, never tried it.
Mexican - something not to spicey. My pouch doesn't like hot spicy foods. I can eat tacos, enchilladas, quesadillas, but I try to stay away from the nachos/chips.

Topic: RE: burgers and other sandwiches
I can't eat the pre-made burgers. They are just way too tough for me. My pouch will retaliate. (sp?) I do make my own burgers from ground beef, lamb, and pork. Like the meatloaf mix you can get at the store. I then know what I add into them. I add some onions, seasoning, etc.
When I go out and get a burger, it's usually at places like TGI Friday's, Ruby Tuesdays, places like that. NOT FAST FOOD YUCK!!!!! I usually just eat the burger and maybe some of the tomatoe, no buns for me

Topic: RE: rice and pasta
I have had a few bites of pasta, but it fills me too quick. I avoid rice because of the fullness and I don't want that in me. I do eat rice cakes though lol, those are my "snacks" with a bit of melted cheese on top.

My surgeon's rules are this..... wait 30 minutes after drinking to begin eating. After eating, wait 45 mins to 1 hour before you begin drinking again. I do stick with this rule religiously.
