Thanks Pam!

It has been probably 10+ years since the last time I had to see the

Dr for an infection. Usually I can catch it in time and down lots of

cranberry juice. I even tried that last night first. I got the 100%

concentrated cranberry juice from Trader Joes. Has 9 gms of sugar per

8 oz.

Well by the time two hours had gone by I had drank 16 oz of the

stuff. 2 0z every 15 mintues.

Now I know that I can't drink cranberry juice like that to fix my

problem, all it did was give me another problem! OY! No fear of

constipation here!

SO I guess I had my first official DUMPING as well!

Boy what a night!

Thanks again Pam.

Thanks Donna!

It really is fun to have new milestones crossed! It is SOOOO worth

the surgery!

Speaking of health, it sure is refreshing when you go see a Dr you

don't know and they ask you if you have any health issues you can say

NO! lol

I used to have to add diabetes and high bloodpressure to the

questionare!

Take care,

Kay
