And congratulations on the weight loss!
Thanks Katie. I'm encouraged.

I really appreciate all your advice and such, it's been really helpful!

Of course, YDMV, but the last couple of days I've had a much better handle on the BS and taking care with what I am eating. After all, what we're aiming for right now is stabilizing it as much as possible.

Only sucky thing is am I am now a recovering bread addict.
