Can't you have any cold beers or something like else?

[Pumpkin_Man]

Nope. Nothing carbonated until June 1st, and any alcoholic beverages are out. Because of the size of my stomach and the shorter small intesting, it can get into my blood very quickly and make me really, REALLY drunk.

I can drink soda pop next June.

Mike

[iHaunt]

Ok, I do understand. So your favorite drink is regular Mountain Dew, right?

[Pumpkin_Man]

Nope. Diet Mountain Dew. I got so use to drinking Diet soda that I don't even like regular soda any more.

Mike

[iHaunt]

Aww... I see you only like any diet soda pops, instead of all regular drinks? Ok, tell me if you can drink some of lite beers, you know? Such as Heineken Light, Miller Lite, Bud Lite, etc.

[Pumpkin_Man]

Nope. Even lightly alcoholic beverages will cause all kinds of problems. Besides that, beer is carbonated, and I can't drink anything carbonated until June of 2010.

Besides that, I don't drink alcoholic beverages anyway, except for Communion on Sunday.

I see.... you won't have to drink anything until summer 2010.

My favorite soda pop is Coke classic, sometimes I do drink Cherry Coke. But the problem is when I want to order something to eat at some restaurants, you know, they don't have any Coke products.... Only Pepsi products, so I would drink Dr. Pepper.

[adrian]

coke classic is my favorite as well iHaunt... well that and the Dew

[iHaunt]

Coke rules! And, I really don't care about Mountain Dew 'cause it makes me pee all the time! Also, its has 170 calories!

[Pumpkin_Man]

Mountain Dew is loaded with cafine, and that's thy it makes you have to pee, but the diet Mountain Dew only has about 1 or 2 caleries.

pumpkin man! hadn't seen you on here lately. yea i've been watching calories lately and have been doing some reading. its crazy how many calories are in certain foods!!

[Pumpkin_Man]

I've been in the hospital, Adrien. I have a bleeding ulcer and I nearly blead out last Sunday. I hd to be carted in an ambulance to the emergency room, and I was in intensive care until Wednesday, and finaly released yesterday afternoon.

Now I can only eat soft, bland food for at least a month if not longer. The good news is I lost over 100 pounds, I'm off my blood pressure meds, and most of my diabetes meds, and it also looks like I won't have to use a C-PAP machine much longer.

Mike

[adrian]

well thats good news then, right? i hope you do get to feeling better and man if i could shred weight like that i'd be a god at one of my jobs hahaha well i'll keep you in my prayers and i hope you get to feeling better.

[Pumpkin_Man]

Thanks Adrien. I do move a lot better (when my gout isn't acting up) and today my blood suger peaked at 134, and I didn't take any of my diabetes medications. Right now, my foot is a lot better, and with a little luck, I'll be going back home to my own house this Thursday. I'm staying with my brother right now. I would also really like to go back to work next Monday, but I have to wait and see what the doctor has to say about that.
