Tues Check In

Hello All, Wow it is late today huh?.. I came in late to work so today is just flying by.... I got last night from beef, it was steak, which I had before but last night my pouch did not want it. I only had 2 bites and well that was it. I might have not chewed enough for eat to fast. But I know that it can happen for no reason too. Well it pasted and all part of this new life. Well post and let me know how you are doing today? Good news, no news or just a hello... Take care Debra P 285/239.5/125??

Hello Debra....you are so positive all the time here...you give me such inspriration. Anyway, tomorrow is my pre-ad. testing, then one week till surgery. Have a great day> SH

SH, Well thanks hun... Well I am still very new to this new life but I can see it will be awesome so of course I want to be positive. Good luck tomorrow hun, I am sure it will all go smooth.... Take care Debra P 285/239.5/125??

HEY DEB.... last sunday the same happened to me on steak. THIS sunday i was fine. FOR me i know for a fact it was the not chewing well enough issue GOOD LUCK! AND HOPE YOUR WELL! LISA

Lisa, Hello hun... ~hugs~ Yeah that is what I think it was since I had it before and was ok. I am still dying to try Diet Coke but also very nervous about it. The surgeon said never again but so many others say it will not harm the pouch. Well when I am ready I will try, believe it or not that is the ONLY thing that I really miss, well that and ice cream but I know I can only have f/f, s/f Ice cream from now on. Well take care hun ~hugs~ Debra P

I am too was a diet soda addict...DIET PEPSI...but my cravings for it left. I never drink coffee so that was my caffine pusher. I wouldnt try it cause i know that stuff is made with aspartame and that can slo up weight loss. GOOD LUCK! I know many drink it. SOoooooooo hard lisa

Lisa, I always brank the caffein free stuff so it was not the gult that I miss... I wi**** would go away also and maybe when I try it, I will not enjoy it anymore. I have seem my cuz drink the stuff and nothing was slowed down there but who knows. They just don't know so it will be a while before I try it because I feel I am losing slow enough as it is. Take care hun..... ~Hugs~ Debra P 285/239/125??

Dear Debra, Hope you're feeling better. Everything here is moving along. I have my pulmo appt. on 8/9, colonoscopy on 8/11, my 2-day cardiology appt on 8/16 & 8/17 -- then once my surgeon receives those reports, I think then it is off to the insurance. The only thing I'm still struggling with is the smoking -- I've definately cut down, but still cheating and I have sitting on my counter the "Nicoltrol Inhaler". So hopefully tomorrow I will use it and not the cigarettes. Also, getting the kids ready for school -- trying to be organized in case I get the call for surgery. So busy, but doing OK. Thanks for always posting and for your thoughtfulness. Oh, did you move yet? If so, did it go well? Anyway, thanks again -- hope you're having a good evening and a good day tomorrow.

Debbie, Thanks hun, it passed and all we ok... Wow you are going to be done within a couple of weeks.... then the waiting game begins... You will have to keep up posted! Now stop that smoking hun, you don't want it to keep you from having the surgery. I know, easier said then done right. We moved over the weeknd and all is good now, I just have the finish the small stuff but other then that we are all good. Thanks for asking... ~Hugs~ Take care Debra P 285/239/125??
