Dear Dawna: Welcome to the losing side! Great book to read while you're still on a liquid diet: Your Diet Is Driving Me Crazy. (pbk) Gets at alllllll the dysfunctional behaviors we have around food, body image, eating, intimacy. "Nailing the coffin..." is what you wrote in your profile about the pre-op addiction you had to food, as I recall. Now's the time to turn your imagination to the new life being born within you. Lovingly, Lauralyn
