You are all so sweet

To share all of your experiences. I dont feel alone anymore. And I dont feel like a failure, I am just on track with others. I have lost 35 lbs. I dont scoff at friends when they tell me that I look lots better. Did I look that awful? LOL well, anyway liquids are my only problem, I can only drink diet pepsi. And that was a stretch. no water with ease . huugs to all.

Hi Stacey, You definately are not alone! It's great when you can say that you are right on track with others isn't it? Great job on losing the 35lbs. I had my surgery 1/28/05 and to date I have lost 30lbs. Be careful of the caffeine in the diet pepsi it tends to dry us out. Good luck with the fluids. Mo

Diet Pepsi? My surgeon does not allow any carbonated drinks. I drink hot green tea. It seems to go down better than anything.

Yup, no carbonation for me either. However I have done a diet cherry vanilla dr. p once it has gone flat! LOL! scoop of low carb vanilla ice cream... what a treat! Yes, I second the hot green tea. Crystal Light is also my biggest friend!
