Hi Jim,

I read on SWMBO blog, that your dear wife has a favourite food...Taco John's Refried Beans. Would you mind telling me what kind of beans they are? Are they solely American I wonder as I have never heard of such a bean?

I am due to have my bypass this summer (have been holding my breath about pending op - so so scared) anyway, back to the beans...I love beans, therefore I feel I need to research different protein foods and find out what is gonna be available to me.

I have read on various sites that post op patients find it difficult to eat meat? Is this due to texture? Also, bread is difficult to eat? Which would be a good thing in my case, I love all carbs, not bothered by meat/fish, also love fast food and all chocolates and cake...hence the huge weight. I am praying I get this 'dumping syndrome' thingy.

If the Taco John Refried Beans are difficult to purchase, is there an alternative equally good in protein and low in cals? Sorry if I am picking your brains.

Thanx a lot

Cheryl

Hej Jim!
Thank you for your Visitor Message! April is indeed on a flying carpet!, May and June will be the same!
The electricity is nearly complete - another two days at the beginning of May, whilst the kitchen will be installed (3 weeks).
Am awaiting quotes for installing 3 shower rooms... And the pleasure of chosing 3 showers, 3 LOOs! and 3 washbasins, tiles, heated towel rails, mirrors, cabinets, lights... Yahoo!
Off my plateau now which feels great - will start the 5 day pouch test on Monday as prompted by Cinerbelle (Cindy). (See under Groups!).
Hope you yourself are doing well! Isn't it fun to have a dog around you when you come home?
Keep well and hopefully indeed we can talk soon! Family here is in golf competition mode so mind in another gear!
'til soon!
Hugs

Just wanted to say HOWDY!

Hej Jim!
hoping to catch you on Skype towards the end of the week! Hope you are well and losing! (and gaining in poker!).
Off to the cottage for uplifted floorboards, ripped out bathrooms, dust, nails, radio music, mugs of dead tea... Feels great and exciting though! One has to be a visionary!
Keep well my friend,
Vim

I bookmarked your Lesser Friends site, Jim - I am hooked

Jim you always make me laugh with your joke posts. It is really sweet getting to be a fly on the wall and see (read) how much you love your wife. You really are a special person.
