Hello to all. I am doing pretty good these days. I am awaiting my ulcer surgery on June 11. It has been a rocky road, however, I think the feeling better times is close at hand. I am off from work until the first part of August, but will still be attending school during the summer semester. I am having more good days, then bad. I am so happy that I have made this journey. I am starting to see a slower weight loss rate, which is a little depressing, however, I do have to eat crackers between meals to keep the ulcer happy. It seems that the crackers absorb the acids in my stomach and make life much easier to tolerate. I will post later. My love ..... Theresa
