Guest guest Posted September 6, 1999 Report Share Posted September 6, 1999 Thanks Tara! Maybe I will try the watermelon. I did try the potatoes and that made all the difference in the world. I have so little energy, I have to will myself just to get up from sitting. It's really awful feeling this way. I have to start back to school and work tomorrow and I don't know how I'm going to make it. However, the potatoes did make me feel better. I guess I'm so weak because I stopped eating the morning before surgery (Sunday the 22nd) and didn't get to have anything until Sunday the 29th because I had to have a second surgery on Friday. Could this be it? Thanks again, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 6, 1999 Report Share Posted September 6, 1999 Rae, I too have a 19 month old and a steak and potato kind of hubby! I had to start cooking more for health prior to my surgery when I was diagnosed with Type II diabetes. I was able to continue cooking many of my more popular dishes by simply substituting lower fat/calorie items. Like fatfree sour cream and creamcheese. My hubby won't eat these things ON stuff - but if it is mixed in he never notices. I love to cook pasta and figured out ways to make my alfredo and creamy pesto sauces with very few fat grams! Luckily myson never noticed since I started cooking this way as he wasbeing introduced to table food! A small word of warning - my hubby has probably gained a few lbs since my surgery. I don't eat as much and he kinda picks up the slack! I guess I should start preparing less food but I haven't figured out how to alter my recipes like that yet!

Guest guest Posted September 7, 1999 Report Share Posted September 7, 1999 I agree with your sister. There is a definite change with the tastebuds. I used to drink 2 20oz. cokes a day. You could not give me a coke now. I eat very little meat now. I previously I wanted meat at every meal. Your taste certainly does change.

Guest guest Posted September 7, 1999 Report Share Posted September 7, 1999 Frances, I am the same - very little meat and can not tolerate soda of any kind - I used to be a Coca-Cola ADDICT!!!! I drink a lot of water and lightly sweetened ice tea. I DO still crave some sweets - but nothing like before surgery! - Tara Lynn --- Frances Rountree wrote: > From: rountree@...
