So basically i called an "i didnt know" about food, when you realize something you never realized about a food or product. For example, i was looking at a "lite" salad dressing this weekend, and the "lite" version had 6 times as much sugar in it as the "regular" version did??

This is one of those events, those things that rally make you think about how things are labelled or how they are represented to us.

WHat kinds of these events have you discovered?

I didn't know that being on protein shakes and eating 4 ounces of high protein food every 3 hours and then breaking it yesterday and having chicken nuggets would make me this sick today. I feel awful!!

Were the nuggets fried? Fried food made me sick on my pre-op diet and I have not had anything fried since my surgery. Also after the surgery you will want to be careful introducing new foods to your stomach. I have learned the hard way to introduce new things on days I will be home all day. Even if it tastes good and doesn't make you nauseous if your new tummy doesn't like it, it will leave your body without notice in the form of diarrhea. I believe they call it dumping. That didn't mean I could never ever have it, it just means my stomach wasn't ready for it yet. The first time I have nuts and cheese, stuff fell out of my body mercilessly. Now I tolerate them fine.

I'm still pre-op but I'm learning to love new foods I just cooked some fresh tilapia and put old bay butter and lemon and it was tasty
