Sandi that's great! The weightloss and getting back into eating and

still focusing on proteins. You're not too far from me in Anniston, we

pass through there heading from Atlanta to my husband's family's home

in Cullman, AL. You're doing so great! I know what you mean about the

hunger, I'm only 2 months out, but I just don't really get hungry and

pay close attention to the " head hunger " . Most of what I eat is

protein. This past weekend we snuck away to Hilton Head and I ate

seafood all weekend, it was wonderful ! I never look at this as a

diet and neither does my husband (who has lost a pant size and 15

pounds since I had surgery ). We eat less, most meals out we share

and that makes a world of difference. On the drive back this weekend we

talked a lot about it, he agreed...at this point I could probably eat

most anything, I have had little if any problems with foods, I just

take it nice and slow. But I don't choose to have anything, I make sure

to really think about everything I eat and choose very carefully

because I know I can't eat much of it anyway. If you look at it as a

diet and think you can't have some of things you used to love it

becomes difficult and cumbersome. You just have choose what you have

and don't have. Keep up the great work Sandi! You're an inspiration!
