Welcome, Rusty! You're gonna love it here!  I felt the same way you do about giving up food. But I'm realizing that's it's not so bad. There are many substitutes on the market now, thanks to people like Heather, who make their voices heard in regard to the dietary needs of so many of us. So far, the only thing I can't find in my area is a substitute for feta cheese (for spanikopita-which I REALLY miss!) But there's soy/rice milk, creamer, cheeses, butter, sour cream....I've fallen in love w/Silk chocolate soy milk-it's the best, better than regular chocolate milk! And there are a lot of wonderful recipes on this site too. You'll forget that you have a restricted diet! Hope the diet works for you! I'm sorry about your mother. My mom is a cancer survivor (15 yrs), so I've been through all the yucky stuff, chemo, hairloss & all the other stuff that goes w/it. I also was young, 12, when she was diagnosed. I was the only child still living at home, so I took care of her on my own many times. I sat by her almost everyday, helping her eat & drink, getting her buckets & towels when needed, all that fun stuff that a teenager should never have to do. So even though she made it through, I can still somewhat relate to where you've been & the stress you went through. Let me know if you ever need to talk/vent/rant, whatever. And congratulations on getting married!
