I haven't posted in months, literally! However, I am down 50 lbs and have met my first goal of being below 200 lbs by the end of August. I haven't been this low in 20 years. Yeah!

I have had problems though. I have had to be stretched twice since July 2nd and am still struggling with what foods I can and can't eat. But I will survive. Have a great day! Gail

Stretch is when they have to do an endoscopy and use a balloon to stretch the openening to your pouch to the instestine. Scar tissue can build up and block things.
