HELLO MY OLE FRIENDS

Hi all, I know it has been a long time since I have been here and I really have missed you all so much.  I am going to try and read some posts off the board today and see if I can get caught up (even if its just a little bit) with everyone. I was out on the road with Rory most of the time since the end of October, so to save money I had my internet and home phone put on vacation time which I havent had turned back on so I have no internet at home.  Will have it turned back on around the first of April so hopefully I will get to come back more after that. Surgery has been an experience to say the least, lol.  I have been in the hospital a total of 6 times but it has been a while since the last major problem, yeaaaaaaaaaaaa!  I am still getting sick atleast one or two times a day from food, but I do think I am getting better.  They are going to do another endoscopy on 3/28, Dr. Scott seems to think my stoma is too small and that is what is making me sick, or the ulsers are getting worse will find out after they have a look. That is the bad, now for the good> I have lost 110lbs since June.  I went from 26/28 size pants to size 12 jeans, and size x large juniors.  I am off all of my oxycotin except 10mg at night, no percocet at all.  So my back is doing fantastic.  I still have a few problems that will always be there but I havent used my wheelchair of cane since November. Since I cant keep protein down lost about half my hair.  Then I remembered Lana talking about the vials of 3oz protein.  (pretty sure lovely Lana was the one who said she used them).  Found them one day at GNC for $2.69 each but worth it 2 drinks and they are gone.  Most of the time they just make me a little nausea, but stay down.  So much thanks sweet Lana for the help.  If it wasnt you thanks to whom ever it was.  Sometimes I think my brain cells are comming out with the hair, lol! So there it is, I miss you all and think about everyone.  Expecially my sisters in Carthage and Diamond.  Love to you all and God Bless.  See you all soon on a more perment basis soon. Love Susan

Susan,
Glad the New Whey vials help you. I still use at least one a day. They are just so darned quick. Sorry about your beautiful hair but hey, skinny isn't too bad a trade off. You know I've worn wigs forever so hair has never been a concern for me. Hope Dr. Scott gets you figured out soon. But, keep up the protein, water and vitamins and you'll not get sick from any deficiency. It will be good to have you back on the board more often soon.
Hugs,
Lana
