    Thinkin' about this

    I've got a lot of health problems that my doctor thinks most will go away if the weight does. So now I'm considering & this is my first stop. I have Pulmonary Hypertension, high LUNG pressure, along with other stuff but all are under control with medication. Prior to being correctly diagnosed with PH, I was bedridden for almost 2 years so yes, I gained weight - a lot. Now that everything is controlled, he's talked to me for the second time about LapBand or diet/exercise. Along with the PH, I have Ulcerative Colitus (in remission), osteoporosis, asthma & COPD as well as Lupus Anticoagulant. I've not done any research yet so an honest-to-goodness newbie to this. I've read a few posts & see that carbonated drinks & sweets are out. Does this include diet soda? I can pretty much control my sweets intake as long as I can have them as wanted/needed . For instance, a snack-size Milky Way or a couple of chocolate covered peanuts. What about frozen yogurt? What about those wonderful hot rolls from Logan's? I'm in Memphis, TN & my doc has recommended Virginia Weaver. Like I said, I'm new to this idea & wanted to introduce myself. We'll see :redface:...
