Sounds like you're eating well Teri. I wish I could eat bread and pasta but they just dont' sit well. I can eat bread if it's full of seeds and chunks and try to have a bit every day just for the fiber. I way I wish I could eat pasta and breads more but probably not because they are part of what got me where I was a year ago. I could live on sandwiches before the band. My doctor allows up to 3 snacks a day if I get hungry between meals and some days I take advantage of them, other days not. I have the advantage of having my children grown so I don't have to cook for them and I also have time to exercise. It's a good thing that I don't have to do meals every day because I find it harder all the time to have any interest in preparing meals I won't eat. My poor husband!! Actually, I make sure he eats well, but it's not what he was used to. Keep up the good work.
