hello, this 4 sure something you have to really think about because it is a BIG change people will not understand or some even support you there is some foods i really miss but as time goes on i learn to live without it 4example cherry soda was not a favorite of mine b4 but now i think about it a lot but can"t have pop i will say it's only been a month and also nobody kno's i had the surgery and i am doing very well so you can do it alone but it's not the ideal way to go and unlike most people i have not restriction but get full really quick well i have to run please fell free to ask what you like i will help as much as i can Peace
