Hello Ruth,

Well, I'll have to admit that with the little push button for pain, it
had the side effect of me not being awake too much later. The worst was
the nausea when I did wake up. The nurse had to give me something for
that. My first meal was liquid-based (things like juice and jello). It
remained on the tray as I couldn't even think about eating or drinking
anything for a while. The anti-nausea medication also helped knock me
out so I slept quite a bit until the next morning. By then the nausea
was gone and I could eat the breakfast which was more substantial than
the prior evening's meal.

Yes, the itching has decreased significantly. It isn't gone, but it is
greatly reduced and more intermittent than constant.

Thanks. I guess I'll have to try it both ways and see which works
better. It looks good and not too high in carbs that Ruth can't have at
least part of one of the bananas. Her blood sugar, even without the
insulin, is doing quite well. It was 86 this morning and 79 yesterday.
Her pancreas appears to have rebounded from the pancreatitis quite well
over the last year.

Now to start figuring out if she can tolerate carbohydrates in a little
higher amounts. I guess if she keeps a strict limit on simple sugars, it
would work better.

I made something like these this morning. Mine were waffles. I used two
eggs, a mashed banana, not quite two cups of Kefir, whole wheat pastry
flour, baking powder and baking soda (about a teaspoon each), cinnamon,
black walnuts, and melted coconut oil (about 1/2 cup). I did not measure
everything as I mixed to the right consistency for the waffle iron. The
waffles turned out good. I ate one and the rest will go into the freezer
for later use. After all, why buy frozen waffles, when I can make better
ones and freeze them myself?
