What an accomplishment. Way to go.

I would say try some pre-made shakes. Eventually, you will figure out which ones your system will handle. BTW - if you are "a river runs thru it" make sure you are getting plenty of water.

Thanks for volunteering.

Feeling normal is a myth. What is normal, anyway? The reality is... we should be worrying about calories and carbs and all that stuff on a daily basis. It will become a "new" normal. It will not consume your every waking moment. You will learn to incorporate it into your every day lifestyle in a way that is not overwhelming. It just take the journey to figure it all out. Good Luck.

And let's leave it to those responding to posts to decide what support and advice they will give and then leave it up to the OP to decide what they will listen to. We do not need to leave it up to the self appointed forum police to dictate to the rest of us.

Nothing I said was hateful, threatening or rude. So yes, I will be posting my opinions as I please in the future.

And I wasn't talking about yours. I used the quote feature to clear that up.

I made no presumptions in my post - I stated clearly my thoughts. You are the one who made presumptions. I mention nothing of tough love. You are not the respect police or the forum FBI. Forum hypocrite, maybe. You see, you seek constructive comments as long as they are written in the way you want them written. However, we all do not share your brain, so if someone has a different constructive comment than your own, then you will just have to deal with it. Nobody is going to change how they post just because you say so. I know I certainly will not.
