Hi Peggy! Thanks for the friending! Sounds like you're doing well, and good for you taking the before pics, they'll help you a lot later on (I couldn't even look at mine for 4 months LOL! Each Doc has different views on carbonation (diet Pepsi), mine says it's fine after 12 weeks (need to heal completely and carbonation can be hard on the stomach)...he says the 'stretching the pouch' is a bunch of bunk, but follow what your doc says. Let me know if I can help with anything. Check out my blog here:
