I had to chuckle about the Tab & Fresca comments. I LIVED on Fresca in 1972 while losing 73 lb on Atkin's...(which rendered me 132 lb. and thin for 1st time ever. Of course

had not reached nearly 280 lb. back then which I did by 1998. Now recently 238 and

ready for my surgery 9/12. It never occurred to me I might not be able to eat some

things like sugarless popsicles. And I am happy for the tip to try 1/2 tsp of things at first to see how they go down...but I will remember. Thanks.

Good luck with your surgery!!!

Thank you.

Great post...thanks...hoping I will follow instructions to the letter post surgery.

sounds like you are doing really well. I have my appointment with my pcp tomorrow and made app't with surgeon at Lahey Clinic for the 27th. So we will see how it goes for me.
