Love of food...

On one of the pre-band posts, the person said they were afraid to loose their love of food. Two weeks post band, I am happy to say that while my hunger is gone, I have a new freedom to express my love of food. Before my love of food was over shadowed by my love of eating (two entirely different things. Now, with only eating a 1/2 cup with meals, I am making sure that 1/2 cup is the best it possibly can be. In fact, my wife has complained, that what I am eating tastes better, than what the family is being served so I took pity on her and I currently have a large crock pot of Chili Verde that has been simmering all afternoon, my family will eat it over rice, I will eat it alone.

Two often, I believe that we confuse quantity with quality.

Omg I could not have said it better. I love food. Planning my meals, cooking and discovering.new ways and of course eating. This the main reason I prefer to stay on solids!
