Hey stranger! Don't feel bad, it's been hectic here too. I'm working long hours and trying to be a Mom & wife too. I'm non-stop from morning until mid-night. Sounds like you are about to dry up. WOW..139 lbs! I'm at 145 and size 10 but losing about 5-8 lbs per month. I've been snacking too much and I can eat sugar and that's a PROBLEM!! I crave sweets more now than before, because I know I can eat them in small amounts and not gain weight! That's dangerous. I've been having problems with meat going down! I've thrown up more in the past month than I have the whole time (well, after my stricture in December)! I hate to throw up! Cheese grits made me sick (6 times on 2 bites of grits) and I can't stand the sight of them now. Well, let me hear from you when you get a chance. I hope all is better for you soon. Take care, Leigh
