Also, stop taking laxatives and purging...all you're going to do (and it

sounds like you already are) is turn bulimic.......that's not a problem

you need

I'm sorry your gaining weight back. I'm sure thats something we all

fear. It sounds like you've done pretty good though to have kept it

off since 1998. I would also recommend you read the 'pouch rules

for dummies' like recommended. The other thing is there a

support group in your area and do you still have contact with your

dr or nutrionist. I would check with your insurance and talk to

your doctor and see if you can see a nutrionist to get back on

track. Even your doctor should be able to help you. Even if you

have to pay for the appt yourself its worth it to get back on

track. Obviously you are capable of losing weight since you lost so

much before. Just PLEASE don't intentionally purge. My dr said

that is one of the quickest ways to get a hernia.

Keep us posted and take care!
