so on yesterday march 24, 2009 i had my first check up. ive lost 25 ish pounds my doctor was very happy with me. im on regular foods and they told me to keep up the good work. i exsplained to them that the other day i was having some vomiting after eating chinese rice they said that the rice is prob not agreeing with my pouch so to try a couple pieces of pasta and if it also dont agree to just back off of the starch all together. so thast what im going to do, although when i toast the soft low carb tortillias i make vegi pizza with that and that doesnt upset my stomach! its all a bit weird. i told my doc that i was craving hot wings and she told me that i could make my own wings just bake them and make a not so spicy sause just to test the waters. she said if i did well with the spicy stuff that it was ok to eat just dont over do it. since ive had the surgery ive tried sushi and omg i love it, it never made me sick at all and it has rice in it so thats one thing that i will will continue to eat since the rice in that doesnt bother me. im looking foward to next month to see how much weight i will lose. eating three times a day and a snakc is very challenging but i try to make sure i at least put something on my stomach when its meal time. i take my vitamins everyday and i still feel kinda ran down so i doubled up on the chewable kids vitamins.  all in all things are going very well for me
