Thanks everybody for the warm welcome!!! Benie...my fingers are crossed for you!! If anyone deserves that band you do! Eileen...hopefully I will be in onederland soon...but not if I do what I did this afternoon...I ate 4 pieces of chocolate...why did I sabotage myself like that...I haven't done that in ages. *sigh* Cindy...I hope you get yourself well with that pinkeye...I just got my son over a bout of that. Betty...thanks again for that great welcome! Dutch...best of luck on that referral...I am sure it is just around the corner. Ann...I hear you on the DH...I love my hubby, but that man sure gets on my nerves something fierce...I really could have used some alone time this past weekend, but he works 12 hours shifts sat and sun..so i have the kids and it just is not going to happen...my life. *sigh*

For the pasta replacement, you can also just use a spagetti squash. You can split in half and put it in boling water or bake it upside down with about an inch of water in the pan until tender. Then just seperate the strands with a fork and use it just like you would pasta...my crew loves it!

Now there's some motivations for ya!

Good for you Jay!!! I can only wish I couldn't eat cake...I have no problem with cake. Bread on the other hand is another breed..I have had to give up even my low carb wheat bread...it is just too painful. I will go for my 4th fill on Jan. 30th.

Glad to hear there is no erosion and that you are on the road to feeling better.

Doc, best wishes on your upcoming surgery...you will be fine. I would never say that everyday is an easy day, but you will get through each and everyone of them and little bit lighter. :-)
