Well we all kinda had the same thought on the pie........watermelon should not be made into a pie. It was rubbery and not a lot of flavor. I'm glad I brought the remaining watermelon with me!!!!

I can not imagine how you could make a watermelon pie, but it sounds great. I am on a watermelon "kick" lately. Will you share the recipe?

Me too! I saw something today with watermelon, peaches, some other fruits, lime etc as a shake in the blender.

Thank the good Lord that watermelon is something we can eat!!!

Ok, this is pretty sinful but I'll share anyway:

I cut up almost an entire watermelon and put it in a container with most of a bottle of amaretto. The first day the watermelon taste was strong when you crunched on the watermelon, and the amaretto taste was strong when you sipped on the juice. Each day they melded more. I think I had it in there 5 days total. I've now put the watermelon into separate containers and put the 'juice' in a bottle. It's a very mild amaretto/watermelon liquer thing, lol.

My kids and DH think I'm crazy. But I've always eaten salt on my watermelon and sugar on my tomatoes.

Sure there is. Cut out a small "plug" on the side, pull it out and poke around in there with an icepick. Then, stick a funnel into the hole and slowly pour in Vodka, Rum, or champagne.. come back and refill a few times. Replace the plug and keep on ice for a few hours before serving.

I love it in the blender with a cup of ice, a bit of Water, splenda, and a squirt of fresh lime juice. Whir away and sip it until your heart's content. Now...you will be UP all night in the bathroom! It's a great diuretic! So if it's a restful night you're after...skip the watermelon!:notagree

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
