Thank you Christine - it's nice to virtually meet you! I've read some of your other posts on here and it sounds like you've been through a lot. I really appreciate your advice. The 2,500 calorie thing will definitely be a challenge, I don't think I clear 1,500 on a good day. I've never been a big eater and now it's really painful to even try and chew. But, I'll try...

Sadly, my husband is one of the best Indian chefs in the Bay Area! :-( But I think spicy food should be avoided for awhile.
