Went to the MRI for my shoulders today (happened at noon..lasted 45 minutes..wow!). I've learned to think about pleasent things while in the MRI machine!!! yeah

Anyway, it was after lunch so I stopped at Wendy's for a single and some fries.....took off the tomato and pickles...but, enjoyed everything else..wow..it's been over 3 months and 4 days..had my last single on the Monday before my surgery....those Wendy's fries are fantastic!

Hope all are well...have a great weekend!

     That is fantastic!!!!  It took me quite awhile to attempt to eat pickles.  I love the big Jewish ones!!! YUM!  It's hard to chew those seeds up but my stoma just spits them out smilewinkgrin . 

     Where did you have the surgery?

We should all just be called FOODIES! Amazing how much we enjoy our food post surgery, isn't it? :)

Last weekend I finally bit into a whole apple, didn't peel it or cut it up and ate the whole thing (minus the seeds and stem:) I was so happy to be eating an apple the way I used to and had no issues. I just chewed it well. It is amazing how happy the small things can make us.

Enigmawrap,
Isn't it great to be able to eat your favorite foods again and not be in pain after? smilewinkgrin I love spicy food, salads, and Italian, but couldn't eat any of them before surgery without suffering after. I gave my stoma an Italian name, Paloma, because she made it possible for me to eat Italian and all of my other favorites again! Hope your MRI results turn out okay.

Summerstorm,
A Jewish pickle is made with kosher salt and is crunchy and zesty. If you like pickles, they're really good! :-)

YAY for you :):) it's so amazing to be able to eat the foods we like again. lately i'm discovering more and more foods that i'm able to eat. like avocado, i LOVE avocado, but up untill 2 mons ago i couldnt eat it at all. just tried it couple days ago and it was fine!! can't even express how happy that made me feel :) and there are so many other things i thought i will never be able to eat ever again... well now i can :) with time you'll be able to eat a double including the tomato and pickles :)
