Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: I wanna be me again!

Ruchie - You sure make me laugh!!! My husband and I and one of his sisters and a sister-in-law are driving down to San Diego on 4/2 (I think) and they're Portuguese and they love to cook w/fat. They're all great cooks, but I'm afraid I'll "stink" them out of the house if I eat what they cook. So, I've been thinking of taking rice, instant potatoes, bagels, my wonderful chocolate cookies I made this morning (did you read the post on the Recipe Exchange?) and some other stuff. I don't think they'll mind. They're all so slim they don't have to worry about their weight and they all think it's great that I've lost all this weight. They don't know how hard it was (and is) , to keep it off and not fart all the time, too! Oh, well, guess I have to be realistic, huh?

Yeh, you're right about eating healthy and being good to yourself. Mostly everybody eats fatty stuff. Why don't they just take a cube of butter and stuff it in their mouths??? Sorry, but I live with someone who doesn't watch what he eats (and he has cholesterol problems too but he thinks that taking meds make it allright) While we watch TV, he eats honey roasted peanuts (one of my favorites), potato chips and not baked either, when we go out he orders fish and chips or ribs and french fried onion rings. Oh well. At least it doesn['t bother me any more. Yesterday, I talked him into sharing a fajita platter with me so we got combination beef and chicken. He ate the beef and I ate the chicken. I let him have all the sour cream and cheddar cheese. I didn't have any repercussions from it, thank goodness.

I know I gotta get my colonoscopy but I'm just a big chicken. And I know that you guys will be here before and after--it's during that I'm worried about. I hate needles especially intravenous ones. Just stick me and get it over with--don't leave it under my skin. Yuk! Sometimes I almost pass out at the dentist when he has to "shoot" me. What a woos I am!

Thanks for being so nice, Ruchie. You're even nicer than my sister.

Please tell us the "singing colonoscopy" story. I need a good laugh.
