Hi ~
I am getting ready to start FTS on Monday.  Right now I am in the ICU everyday with my brother (only 52 yrs old) who had emergency bypass surgery so I don't really have time until next week to get food/recipes/thoughts together.  Certainly a wake up call for me and hubbie seeing him go through this.  My husband is in for a surprise because he is coming along on this journey with me. I have already read the book and feel like I have a good idea of what to do.  I am a bit concerned about the difficulty of changing eating habits because that is not an easy thing to do for anyone.  It makes sense to me to keep carb intake below 20 g per day until the goal weight is reached.  I am looking forward to using the wisdom that all of you provide within the forum so THANK YOU for that!
