Im back from Florida

Hey Ladies and Gents! I missed you and the board!!! Im back from Disneyworld and I had a great time. It was very tricky to try and find things to eat that were not full of sugar or breaded ect. I did do research though before I left so I knew were to get a baked potato and when I went to Epcot I ate in Italy and had a WONDERFUL bowl of pasta Fagouli which of course I could not finish and they were worried I did not like it. This happened at most places I ate and I didnt want to go through the entire speel on *I just had surgery* blah blah blah. There is one thing that drove me batty... I am a carbonated drinkaholic and it K I L L E D me to watch everyone chug down ice cold coca cola and diet coke all day long it was super hot out and I had my crystal lite drink mixes with me but its not the same as a nice big tall glass of Diet Coke. I know we are not suppose to drink them but I wonder WHEN can we? I know they are not gone forever but all I see in my stuff from the docs is *no carbonation it will stretch the pouch and blow the staple line out* Im dying for some bubbly LOL

I had a very hard time being able to drink and stay hydrated. It was very hot out and if I drink more then a small sip no matter if its water or tea or crystal lite I feel like Im going to throw up everywhere. Soo it was challenging not to get overheated and knowing I could not chug my drinks like everyone around me was. Sheryl when I heard Goofys voice in the parks I thought about you LOL hes so funny!!

Today is my one month surgiversary!!! man that went by really fast!!! it was nice to not have a scale in my hotel room. I will do my weigh in tommorro when I see Dr. Mann. I am now on stage three foods (I was at Disneyworld too LMAO) I walked and walked and walked my butt off so I hope I at least dropped a pound. I missed everyone and hope everyone has a fantastic weekend!!

Hugs to all~

Welcome back Darcie, I remember when we went to Disneyworld about 8 years ago it was alot of fun and tons of walking. At night we were so wiped out we would get room service and fall out. I am sure the scales will make you very happy tomorrow.                                      Annie

Darcie -

Glad to hear that you had such a nice time.

Check with Dr. Mann. We weren't cleared for carbonated drinks until our 3 month post op visit. They said that before the pouch is completely healed at about 7 or 8 weeks, it can actually be dangerous to have carbonated drinks because the carbonation actually expands in the pouch. He that after 3 months some patients tolerate carbonated drinks okay. Others do not.

I'll bet that you dropped more than a pound with all of that walking.

Great to have you back.

So glad to hear you are back and had a good time. I can imagine it was hard to get in enough liquids... I'm struggling with that myself. Love you girl and can't wait to see you again! Let me know the next time you come to Greenville. :)
