Oct 24, 2011

~~ I have had a few complications ~~
I have had an ulcer from the start & still dealing with it.
I have had issues with my staples coming lose or displaced & now
my staple line is broken & have to have it repaired as of today !
I will find out when my surgery date will be tomarrow.
But, I can say its been worth it & It's a learning & growing process
I am eating 4-5 oz's now & very little beef or pork if none at all. Mostly, fish, turkey, chicken, vegetables, some starach & finally a small salad.
No pop - but, ice tea - water. No alcohol.
