Pizza n Wings

Hi y'all!  Guess what??  I ate pizza and wings Saturday and it didn't bother me at all!!  The wings were pretty hot and I thought perhaps they might be hotter coming out than going in..lol...but they weren't!!  My favourite snack food by far is popcorn and I haven't eaten it since I had my ileostomy last Sept.  Now I can and I am so thrilled!!  My dear sweet hubby did the groceries yesterday, and guess what he brought home??  A CASE of popcorn!!!  I kid you not!  24 bags of Orville Redenbaucher!  I laughed so hard!  Do you think I may have mentioned missing popcorn at all??? lol!!  I haven't had any yet though...I knocked a temp crown off a back tooth and have to get to the dentist this week for the permanent one. (always something huh?)   Then WATCH OUT!...it'll smell like a movie theatre here!!!.....I am still having some problems with constipation.  I am trying different things.  I take Metamucill and prune juice in the morning  and so far this is a winner...   I am still enjoying the little things post reversal...like sleeping through the night without empting my pouch...LOVE IT!!!!....Have a great day everyone!!!~ ~~~Cheryl

I'm so happy to hear you enjoyed your pizza n wings; that sounds so good!  I have to admit though the ONE thing the doctor said I absolutely cannot have yet is popcorn.  I'm hoping soon she will say I can because I too share a love of popcorn and with three boys in the house it is terrible!  I finally got mean and had to ban it from the house, lol!! Seriously!!!! 

I really am glad you are feeling better!  It's good to hear you sounding in such good spirits.  love ya!

She said it's because of the hull; it would cause me a blockage. You'll have to tell me how good it is, lol!!

Just don't sit down and eat a whole bag of popcorn at one time (LOL) ....better with other food in your stomach/digestive tract and drink lots of fluids.

I had pizza a few days ago and it was nice not to have to run to the bathroom. I had mild wings also- afraid to try the medium or hot. It does feel god to be able to eat more, so I know what you mean. Of course, I have an ileostomy right now and even with my rectum still attached ( I'm having the 3step), life is better.

I didn't realize the popcorn was off limits when you have the jpouch- at least for a while.

Enjoy.....

Ha ha ha Summer you're cute!  There is a place here called Wacky Wings and they brag about having a type of wing (I think it's called Suicide Wings) that are the HOTTEST ever....they even make you sign a disclaimer before they will serve them to you....SERIOUSLY!!...I am not that brave.  They have another one called "Jessica Alba Wings"...supposed to be cuz she's hot?? Musta been a guy that named that one for sure!  I love wings too, as long as they're not TOO hot!!
