David - that is such great news! Thank you so much - THAT was what I was looking for in a response! I don't particularly feel bothered by my lack of interest in eating - it is everyone around me. They end up making me so self conscious when I just wish things would be back to normal.

I also am adamant about not eating "bad" stuff - especially not sugar - I also view it as "against my religion." I have added some local honey into my diet for extra calories, but that is as close to eating sweets as I get. I also feel great now that I can exercise again - I missed hiking, getting out in a canoe, walking - I'm thrilled that I can do those things again. But then, with everyone around me worrying about my weight and how little I eat, I start wondering if I should cut back on my exercise so that I don't expend too many calories. Then again - I feel really good and other than the worry and anxiety that seems to always be there in some amount (which I see from this group is perfectly normal) I feel like I'm back to "normal" (whatever that is!).
