Just a note to say hello. I have been working and traveling but check in to see what everyone is up to. Cannot wait for spring! It is snowing here right now, 33 degrees. Teresa

Where has everyone gone? Is our board gone forever??!! I would certainly hope not! I just wanted to pop in and say hi. I've been outta town for a few days and just got back late Tuesday night. I had a workout with my trainer and I'm still sore!! I've been going to the gym pretty regularly and the scale is moving in the right direction again! Lately, I haven't been able to eat much....kinda like how I was eating maybe when I was 9 mos postop. It's weird Im having restriction now 2 yrs later! I'm certainly not complaining and I've realized that you don't need the 5 DPT....just eat smaller portions! Your pouch will go back to normal! Hope everyone is doing well! April

You know I just started back on diet DR Pepper a few weeks ago and I think it makes me want crunchy salty more and I was thinking hey maybe this isn't such a good idea....maybe I should join you Tori

About a year ago, I made a BIG mistake..........I started drinking Diet Coke again. I had quit before my surgery (in fact, I quit July 2005 - cold turkey). Unfortunately, I fell off the wagon . When I first started I couldn't drink very much and of course, it had to be 'flat' (no carbonation). Well, now it has turned into a full fledged HABIT again. I have decided to STOP drinking diet coke once again. I know I'm going to have a horrendous couple of days as the caffeine and the toxins come out of my system; but I know I will feel better. Please wish me luck................ Rose from PA
