You're almost there!  Months before surgery I was following the life long post op diet - it helps to get used to the changes I think - well not that anything can really prepare you for the first bit right after surgery.  But I lost some weight and got a good diea what I was getting myself into.  I also started an exercise regimine too.  It's great you are looking to start these things BEFORE and not after!  Best of luck to you!

Hi Tammy,
    Good to hear from you. What exciting news!!!! !85!!!!! I'm Still not there yet, but am working on it. Have had a good and active summer too. So much better than sitting and watching. I'm in Indiana until I fly home next Tuesday. Hoping to get over head cold and some chest congestion before I leave.
   Good to have you back.    Mag    

kryss7 i know where u are coming from i been a big girl all my life and just imange having a skinny mom and a skinny sister. ppl pick on me throughout school. with the name calling and noise making. when i got older and start having babies the weight did not go down it went up and up and up. it seem as if it did not want to stop i am currently 398pounds and i am having a RNY due to the fact that i dnt want anything in my body that will get rejected. i dnt have a ideal goal weight i jyst want to be far away from 300 as possible. so keep up the good work and good luck on everything you do

Jeannie, I'm not post surgery yet, but I am paying much more attention to foods and drink.  I just found that Crystal Light makes a lemonade and a couple other flavors for water that are sweetened with Truvia and sugar.  So, they may be a help.  Check out their label.  Re carbs, if you must have pasta, try the brown rice or whole wheat pastas.  I prefer the brown rice pasta and, in small amounts, may be ok for you.  I have never been much of a soda drinker.  I know carbonation is highly discouraged by my doc but they do say soda can be had if it is flat and that would require leaving the can/bottle open.  If it's the carbonation you crave, I don't have a clue.  You may just have to not go there.  Good luck!
