since surgery do you see something that just turns your pouch? or you will see something and foam? or is this just me?

That happens to me a lot. And sometimes the SMELL of something just makes me too nauseated to eat for a bit.

There's some things that just doesn't sound good at all...but for me, because of the hypoglycemia, they are usually things I shouldn't have anyway...pasta & rice mainly. Other things SOUNDS good, but once I smell them or taste them, it's ummm...no, I'll pass, thanks anyway. It's like my throat goes through a lock-down. When that happens, it doesn't matter what the taste buds think, it ain't happening.

Yea, my head will see something my taste buds will water and my pouch will kinda contract and say no way jose'. sometimes I listen to it sometimes I just try it anyway.. Linda

Lisa, The pears sound good. I think I'll try them with the peeling on though since the peels is what offers fiber (and my body can be very fiber deprived!). I'm gonna pass on the cabbage & carrots. Don't know what it is but it doesn't matter how much I chew a raw carrot, it's not gonna stay where it's suppose to. love new recipes!! Sherri

Lisa, Thanks for the phone call yesterday, we sure enjoyed talking to you. I love cole slaw with pineapple, except I to leave the carrots out since I can not chew them up. When we lived in El Paso, TX we use to eat out at this steak house that served cole slaw with pineapple and it has been a favorite of mine every since. Another thing I got use to is horseradish with apples chopped up real fine in it. That was a favorite when we lived in Germany. Of course you have to like horseradish to start with. We just got home from the Easter Egg Hunt down in Alexandria at Bill and Gloria Gaither's place. The grand kids had a ball and so did I picking out CD's and DVD's. I ended up dropping two hundred dollars and Ann about had a kitten. I told her I use to spend that much on Easter Candy, so this was my Easter Candy this year. I will get many hours of enjoyment of them, since I am a Southern Gospel junkie. Will catch you later. Dan

to be honest, I am not sure how the pineapple will be cause so far everytime I eat pineapple I get sick, but I don't have any problems with carrot. Lisa
