Coffee, lots and lots of coffee, I used to drink at least a pot a day. Loved to go out and eat and have a coffee or cappacunio afterwards. Also, just being able to eat anything without thinking about it and as much as I could. I would know that I might be a little uncomfortable if I ate too much but a dose of Alka Seltzer would take care of that. Now I go for days and days with pain when I do something I should not.

One word - STABILITY. Feeling stable with myself and my body and not having anxiety or worrying all the time. I miss the old me as well, and I agree with Nugget about the freedom. In terms of foods: corn on the cob, peanut butter ice cream, and the occassional good burger.

The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it."

Strictly in terms of things I can put in my mouth and belly - raw vegetables and coffee. I miss crisp, fresh healthful vegetables. And help me, I miss coffee. My whole identity was tied up in loving raw vegetables and drinking coffee. I have hope for eating raw veggies again someday. I'm doing my best to forget about coffee. That seems like a never-again food.

I miss feeling normal, I feel like a mutant in that I tend to plan my life around my food and eating schedule. I miss being able to go out to eat with my family and friends. I miss grilled cheese.
