Hi! I am so excited to meet you!

How exciting, a new journey with new friends!  To put it all in a nutshell, I have had RNY gastric bypass in 2001 which also resulted in a dibilitating complication of becoming an ostomate (ileo) which makes weight loss/maintenance difficult and dangerous at the same time.  After having several following surgeries, I have short bowel syndrome so  extra attention to nutrition makes all the difference in my health and daily outlook/energy levels.  I was so impressed to experience ease with the website and the incredible tools to ensure that I am making the most of my everyday diet and intake.  I have the most difficulty with hydration.  I cannot drink carbonated drinks and thats really leaves alot to be desired with drinks that are low in calories too.  I have a real weakness for Plain Silk...if you shake it up very well you get a nice "head" at the top of the glass (just like a beer!) so mmmmmm, it's pretty darn appealing.  I'm so excited when I walk by the computer now I just pop in here and see what's going on.  Uh oh, guess I've found a new addiction!  See you around...
