Thanks for good wishes..

Sounds like your brother in law has some pretty serious stomach issues - but has learned to live with them......

I'll tell ya - I used to be known as the girl with the iron stomach - I loved to eat everthing and was lucky in that I was always thin so really could.... and always thought how hard it must be for people to be on diets and I admired them.... now however, I've had to make such a radical change and those that knew me before "PN" ask how I can stand it.... but when you eat and it just makes you sick - you stop.... and now being thin is a curse - because losing weight is not a good thing for me...

However, I dream of the day I can eat again! On holidays I'll go out in the hallway of my aparment where I can smell everyone's delicous meals cooking and just sniff and smile - one day!!! I have confidence!!!!!!

(I'm still thinking about those Dove Bars! Used to treat myself with those - yum!)
