      From SweetPea31 November 3

      I hope that you are feeling better than you have been. I am trying the 5 day pouch test. Since I feel like I could eat a bushel of food and am plateauing, I figure I will see whats up....and if I loos the big numbers that I have seen people talk about...better yet!. My nurse says to "stay away" from it, but....oh, well. Stay well and keep in touch.

      Oh sooooo true! My 13 yr old son, who wants to see me succeed, walked with me last night. The scale moved downward because of it. Tonight we will walk again. He's my little gaurdian angel.....even tho he is taller than I am now!

    • Close Gastric Bypass Surgery

      RNY in January 2004. Been able to keep all but 20 of the 110 lbs that I lost off. I had a few problems along the way but am delighted and happy and wish I had done this sooner. I have learned the hard way that you should stay away from alcohol. I use to drink before the surgery and I could handle it well w/o getting intoxicated. I'm not sure that I substituted alcohol for the lac of less food but I found myself drinking more and more and becoming a terrible person. I was mean and angry.

      Treatments

      Abstinence Working / Worked
      Not even taking sips of alcohol. Poison for gastric bypass patients. We were heavy additive eating machines before, donot put yourselves in another addiction.
