Zachary really is the only one complaining because he loves meat!! He is very sad there will be no more "Pat McKee" ribs. Really I have found this transition very easy and I encourage all of you to eat meat free every once in a while. I really can't tell you how much better I feel- I have no signs of gallbladder pains what so ever for the past 4 days! I am so excited and I wake up feeling great every morning!!
