I"ve been away from OFF for over a month.  Hope I'm not totally forgotten.  The last time I checked in, I was about to do a 5 day pouch test to give myself another kick start.  Well, long story short - the next day, I started having unbearable abdominal pain.  Trip to ER.  Blockage in small intestine from a large  (nonmalignant) polip that had ulcerated.  Bowel resection - took out about 6" out.   Blood pressure went to 30/50 - 2 units of blood -  6 days later -  abdominal abcess ( peritonitus ?sp) - drains then progressed to just packing -  Oh yippeee!!  I stayed at my sisters for a bit until I could shower and change my own dressings and finally came home on Friday. Lost 17 lbs. I don't recommend this method!!  It's been great to catch up on all the messages from so many familiar friends.  Glad to be back among the living.

b - egg, 1/2 ww english muffin, turkey bacon
L - cottage cheese with fresh tomato
d - mostly tuna, tuna casserole, more tomato
s - beef jerkey
