  1. i dont miss the pasta,i just wanted to have a little.i didnt cook it i just had the meat sauce
  2. thanks for your responces
  3. i made a big pot of meat sauce the other day and was wondering if i could have wheat pasta??i have been okay with just eating the meatsauce,but its not the same without the psta
  4. i drink a whole pot every morning,and it dosent bother me.the reason they tell not drink it is because caffiene can make you dehydrate,and also irritate your belly.that choice is totally up to you

  8. i had my first fill on march 1st.and feel no restriction what so ever...i called docs office yesterday and asked if it was normal not to have any,and the reply was yes(i was hoing to get my next fill sooner)and that its a process.so i'll impatiently wait until april 12th.i am hungry between meals and its killing me as i try not to eat between,meals.i'm managing but its not easy.to all you folks that have the same problem..you can do it ...just keep at it
  9. the reason being for no caffeine,is because it dehydrates if your a heavy drinker.i personally drink my morning coffee as that is one thing i refuse to give up..as long as i get all my Water in in i am fine
