I love the way food tastes for the most part.  Right now, I am trying to balance making food that my family will like and that I can eat as well.  (I have a husband and three boys 16, 12 and 8)  It has not really been a problem so far, but I am sure that there will always be challanges.  Getting my protein in seems to be a problem for me.  I need to water dow tha protein chakes with skim milk just because they ar too thick.  Another problem (sort of) is that they only make them in chocolate. I love chocolate,  don't get me wrong, but variety is the spice of life, right?  I get mine at the local Costco.   30 gms of protein in 11 oz.  May I ask what you are using if anything? 

oh I am so sorry u had a rough time with your roomate, if I would have had a roomate it would really have made life difficult for my recovery.  What a drama queen! 

Happy Valentine's Day!  Good for you having resisted temptation!   I made Black Bottom Cupcakes (my family's favorite), Lemon Sugar Cookies, and Chocolate Truffles - made two big platters for my family and am sending the remainder to my husband's office tomorrow.  Did I have any?  NO WAY!!  Did not even tempt me.  I didn't even lick once when I was preparing everything!    I was a Sugar Addict and I hope to never be addicted again. 

I lost 24 since 1/26 surgery.. This past week I have an infection in one of the incisions. The medicine is very bitter but it appears to be working. Otherwise I have a bit of energy, not nearly what I did, but getting better.

How are you feeling and doing?

Physically everything is good with me, but mentally I am still a wreck.  I am having a really hard time adjusting to my new life.  Went to the Dr on Thursday and told him, but all he said was youve lost 30 lbs.  That wasnt helpful.  So I was just checking in to see how everybody else was feeling.
