Guest guest Posted June 24, 2005 Report Share Posted June 24, 2005 Hi Robin, I like the phrase you used here... " honor the pouch... " This could be a good mantra to use as we hold the garbage in our hands that we are preparing to shove down our gullets! -- In gastric-bypass-support-kaiser-patients , Robin Zemel wrote: > While I am new here, I remember going through all of the doubts prior to the surgery.

Do as I say, not as I do. > > I remember crying prior to surgery, because I felt I didn't have enough co-morbidities. Now I cry because I am having troubt honoring my pouch. > > Be careful. Choose wisely, starting with your surgery. And...ask any questions along the way. > > I hope I have been helpful. > > Robin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
