Diet

I've had my surgery in 2006. I have sinced gained 15 pounds. Any suggestion on how to get these 15 pounds off. I no I have to do the protien but any suggestions will be appreciated.

You are doing the right thing coming here before the 15 turns into 25, then 30, then......

I am still in my first year so I am not the one to give you any advice, but Dana posted a good article on pouch rules and how to get your pouch to work again.

Yes, you need to do what us noobs are doing - protein first, don't drink with your meals, limit your carbs, get some exercise.  I know easier said than done, but those are the basics.

Good luck!

now, dont do it expecting to loose 15lbs, but it does help to kinda 'reset' everything. Nurse Gina used it to get her restarted and lost her 60lb regain and is still going!
best of luck and keep posting
