Welcome to the board, thank you for joining us. I hope you'll find this a comfy and homey place for you.

the pouch rules, and compare it with your present eating habits and patterns.
Remember to eat your proteins first.
One method post ops often use to get back on track is go back to the basic and the starting point-- go back and start with pure liquids for one week, then pureed for one week, soft food for 1-2 weeks, then move back slowly to regular food, always protein first-- go through the post op diet again.
For a general guide in figuring out how much to eat
this article may help you as a starting point.
For excersise, daily walking is good for starters. Rigorous housework (not the easy, just vaccuum the rugs, but dust and polish and shine type) is good exercise, too. I saw somewhere advice on how to turn playing with small children an exercise, but I can't remember where...anyway, physical activity with your child will be good exercise, too, done the right way, like running and chasing and making a game out of it, or going swimming in the pool, or just plain carrying your child. If you are the gym type, working out at the gym is a great help.
