Guest guest Posted October 26, 1999 Report Share Posted October 26, 1999 Thanks for the directions Stevie. Yep I'm learning that the longer I chew the longer I can enjoy the taste of what I'm eating . Since it only takes my husband and son about 10 mins to scarf down a full meal I can make my 4 bites last just about as long as they make their meal last LOL too funny! See ya later : ) Donna Hey BTW 6 days and counting! >I had to laugh about your chewing up comment..it reminded me of something >a nutritionist or some diet person said a long time ago.

Guest guest Posted October 27, 1999 Report Share Posted October 27, 1999 You guys are so funny. Who in the world sucks on a potato? That is too funny. Take it like a woman and swallow it. I know everybody has done that before. I have tried many things and have lived to regret them all. I had to spend many moments draped across the bed so sick that I could not even talk. Sometimes it's just not worth it. You learn very quickly what you can and cannot tolerate. Pears, Pineapple and apples seem to go down very well.

Guest guest Posted October 27, 1999 Report Share Posted October 27, 1999 I try to get everything unsweetened or in light syrup or in it's own natural juices. The unsweetened grapefruit juice is not bitter at all to me. I just can't tolerate the sweetened juice. Yes I do dilute all juices with about an ounce of water and 3-4 ice cubes. It makes it much easier to drink. If I don't dilute I get this incredible pain in my chest and I can't talk or move or anything. Does anyone else get that nasty chest cramp? Whenever I get that cramp, since my head is already down I take that time to pray. You have to learn to manage your time wisely, every second counts.
