I used to eat a lot of pasta and then after I got married, I didn't eat it
very often. Yes, I married an Italian but apparently pasta was served quite
often in his house and for the most part he just didn't like it. He does
like a shrimp dish that contains a ton of garlic. His mom always made it
for Christmas dinner. I don't have her actual recipe but I know what she
put in it. It appears to be some form of shrimp scampi, perhaps with her
own twist. He would like it better the second day after the garlic had
invaded it all and he would eat it cold.

Last year it got to the point where my daughter and I were eating pasta at
least once a week. Partly because she loves it and partly because once a
week prior to dance we had to eat a quick meal and this served the purpose.

I do think I liked pasta more when I could eat the stuff made from wheat.
But since we realized her wheat allergy, I mostly get the rice pasta which
is really bland. I guess I just don't like it very much. And I got burned
out on it to the point where I couldn't bring myself to eat it. I just
didn't serve pasta unless she specifically asked for it. And I let my
usually somewhat large stock of pasta run down to not much. But then I
found some corn spaghetti on clearance at one of the grocery stores.

Tonight my daughter wanted spaghetti. So I made the corn spaghetti. And it
was really good! I guess laying off the pasta for so long finally brought
my taste buds back. Either that or it was the corn pasta. Old Spaghetti
Factory used to serve corn pasta for their GF pasta but now they serve rice.

haven't ever had corn pasta which is lowr carb rice or corn? Lee

I think they're both about the same. Corn probably has higher fiber than
white rice but we normally eat the brown rice and I think those are about
the same.

Corn pasta taste better than wheat or rice base pastas.

Have you tried quinoa pasta? Better is on the tongue of the taster,
but I can assure you that it's different from rice pasta. Thicker
shapes like elbows and shells have firmer textures with both quinoa
and rice.

I use rice noodles for pad thai. They form a solid glob if I cook them
like wheat noodles. Instead, I soak them in two changes of hot water
off the stove. They're OK with some sauces. I haven't tried tomato.

When I was a kid, we ate a lot of macaroni and cheese... made with gov't
surplus. I swore that when I grew up I would never eat it again and for
years, I didn't.

Now, we don't have it too often, but it is one of my favorite side dishes.

Mac n'cheese was something my mom never made, and the few times my
friends moms served it I didn't like it. I still don't like mac n'
cheese. My mom's favorite pasta dish to serve was noodle kugel, I
still prefer kugel, hot or cold. I don't understand the attraction to
elbow macaroni and cheese, especially cheddar. I don't like cheddar
cheese, no way no how.

I love cheddar!

I can eat pasta everyday provided that it has different sauce. I'm not really after the type of pasta used, maybe the shapes and sizes would matter. The only pasta that I don't like is made from wheat because it somehow affects the taste even if I put too much sauce on it. I haven't tried corn pasta, where can I get those by the way?

Here you can get it at most grocery stores. If you can't find it there try
a health food store or a gluten free store.

At the moment, I'm a bit retricted as to what foods I can eat. Funnily
enough, I don't have a problem with chocolate, ice creams (especially
chocolate coated icecreams!!) potato chips, frozen/oven fried Yum Cha
thingies etc, which I eat quite a lot of. Breakfast and brunch is usually a
small amount of baked beans with a soft fried egg chopped up in it.

And I'm still slowly losing weight :-/

So yeah, I'm *way* over junk food at the moment..... would just love to be

Had most of my stomach sac, and a large portion of my small bowel removed
because of tumours.
Fortunately, I've had the 'all clear' as of last lot of testing by the
oncologist. Unfortunately, when he did his "Edward Scissorhand" bit in my
gut, when he sewed what's left of my small bowel back onto what's left of
my stomach, the join has apparently healed at different stages/times, and
has therefore kinked and twisted out of 'whack'. So whenever I eat
anything of 'substance', it comes to a screaming halt at the blockage, and
takes about 60-120mins to work it's way through. And it's a *rather*
unpleasant experience to endure. Lots of pain, can't move, can't drink,
heavy salivation/sweating etc.

No meats, shortcrust or puff pastry items, flours, breads, cakes etc. Can
eat rissotto but not fried rice, mashed potato but not roast potatos, and
leafy salad is also a problem. Fish that is pan fried is ok, but not
coated.

Luckily, the oven fried Yum Cha thingies are made with filo pastry, which
is ok.
Corrective surgery is on the cards in the near future, but at this point
in time (due to a recent promotion) work committments have to come first.

Wow. That would be rough. I worked with a woman who had something similar
done. Can't remember exactly what it was. She could only eat small amounts
of food or drink small amounts at any one time. She was very thin.

Actually had a friend get me some sort of chocolate drinks from a place
that looks after aged/terminal patients. One small can was about 2,000
calories.

Tried the meal replacement things, but as a liquid, they go straight
through (if you get what I mean) and I wasn't actually getting that much
nutrient from them, was always feeling hungry, and started to have
problems with my blood sugar!!

Spoke to my specialist dietician and he told me to stay the hell away from
them and keep trying to get solids in.
I've slowed the weight loss right down, now only losing about 1-2kgs a
week, and can keep that in check if I eat 'right' and constantly.
I've only had 3 bad episodes with low blood sugar, so I've managed to get
a handle on that as well.

Eating a fair bit of cheese/dairy, and lots of nuts as well..... found an
excellent type!! Called French Vanilla Almonds... YUM!! Now all my friends
are addicted to them as well, and one girl had a go at me because she put
on a couple kgs after scoffing herself on them a couple of times!! :-)

At my physical peak and fitness when I was in the Army back in the late
80's, I was 105-110kgs.

I'm now 92kgs and all my friends are begging me not to lose anymore
weight!!

But it's all good.

Got my 2nd birthday coming up in a couple of weeks :-)

Uh...no. She had parts of her removed. This was many years ago. I don't
even then lap band surgery was around back then.

People who are ill are vulnerable, often don't have people to care for
them, and Ensure is very convenient and readily available... like why
fast food is so popular... doctors know it's not the best choice but
often recommend it to patients as it's a lot better than what many
left to their own devices would consume. Ensure is a lot more
healthful a diet than your consuming a ton of fat with your low
carbing.

Ensure is also good for the dying that can't keep anything else down due to
medication or the disease that is killing them (in my case, my Dad's
cancer-it was the only thing he would eat).

My dad refused the ensure after a short time. He had cancer, too.
Unfortunately he succumbed to it only 6 months after diagnosis. His
cancer was esophageal so the tumors made food get stuck and cause a lot
of pain, so he wouldn't eat, even after chemo and radiation shrunk them.
He was below 100 pounds when he passed.
