I really wanted this surgery. I wanted to get back to where I was physically before I started gaining weight in mid 90's. (Yes I was thin before and had a life as a thin person, in another life long ago). So much so I quit smoking cold turkey (in April will be my 2 year aniversary).

I pretty much have tried to adopt the rules that are recommended jduring our first few months, like staying away from carbonation, sugar, bread, all the things that are not good for the healing pouch.

Well I try to keep the same mind-set for the completely healed pouch. Even though it appears that some post-ops at some point start to return to diet soda, I won't. For me I have given up beer and soda forever, and for the food restrictions, I try to use them as my guide to not get back into bad habits.
