While driving to my in-laws today, we stopped at Frisch's to use the restroom. I decided to get a small vegetable soup to hold me over. It didn't agree with me. About an hour later, I got foamy and gassy. We're at their house now. Everyone is enjoying a turkey dinner, but me. Let's just say that I now know their toilet more intimately than I care to. Hoping this passes soon!!

We went from Cincinnati to Omaha, Nebraska and stopped in Des Moines. I had yogurt and banana for breakfast and hot tea. I have been in my in laws bathroom so much I know how many tiles are on the wall. I will take it easy today. I hope you feel better soon.

Okay, I fixed Thanksgiving dinner, and I wish I could say I stuffed myself, but I can't. I had a bite of dressing and a small piece of ham. That did me in. I was in discomfort. Spent some time in my own bathroom, which was fine as I ended up feeling a little better. Sent all leftovers home with the family an at 12:30 this morning had fat free cottage cheese and a half of a cooked sf pear. That settled fine. For me Thanksgiving was not enjoyable at all. Christmas will either be cooked by someone else even if it has to be catered. Rather the day be enjoyable rather than miserable.

Dinner was great, no problems....last night had a small piece of pumpkin pie, dumped my butt off....today had half a small piece...dumped my butt off...dammit. I love pumpkin pie . I'm gonna miss it!!!!

I found out that I am not a dumper. If it wasn't for the scars and have lost 83 lbs. I would swear that I didn't really have surgery. There is nothing I can't eat. I measured my food so I just ate what I was supposed to but about a hour after dinner the desserts came out and I had a bite of everything and nothing made me sick. Kinda pissed me off. I was hoping to be a dumper.

I dump and have for years. Since I had bypass I have gone to being somewhat constipated. So dumping occasionally is a blessing, I don't need to take a stool softner. Will say though I don't have the other issues like the cold sweats or the heart palpatitions, just a mild urge and mild cramping. I didn't have any pie though, there was pumpkin and pecan. Just a bite of stuffing and a piece of ham really caused the pouch discomfort and a little later the bathroom, but not bad. Pouch though wasn't happy for hours, it was uncomfortable.

. It was just plain old regular pumpkin pie....typically if I just have a little of something (even sweet) I'm okay, apparently even a little pumpkin pie goes over my carb load. C'est la vie. Will settle for a bite or two next time!

Well I did most of the cooking everything went well had about 2oz turkey & 1oz ham 1/2cup squash casserole & about 4 peaces roasted sweet potatoes fries and a couple of bites of Mexican cornbread I use whole kernel corn Jalapeños and some of the juice from the can there in Goda cheese cornmeal & flour shortening it was so good this is the first bread I've eaten since before my surgery so this was my treat sent all the rest home with my son

I've been very careful about what I have eaten so far stayed very simple but everything went well but no deserts

Soccermom, I used the trick you taught me. I ate my Protein and left just a little room for pumpkin pie.... I took off the crust to be safe and added a little cool whip and I did ok. Sorry it did not work for you. i will have another sliver of a piece in your honor tonight.

ROFLMAO glad my words of wisdom helped you and thanks for being so thoughtful and having a sliver for me, you are too kind!!!! In the grand scheme of food I cannot tolerate, this is the first in 9 months. I'm not going to complain too much!!!!!
