Hello All, Thanks to all of you for such great support and prayers, as many know I buried my beloved father today, after a short and violent cancer(2 weeks knowing). Your help really help eased the day and the thought that you all are just a click away, Thanks from the bottom of my heart. As for my surgery 7days ago (laprny) I`m doing very well, very little discomfort, no problems with eating, having it a little hard getting all the water in, and protein is a constant concern. I have a wonderful husband who is really taking care of food with lots of reminders from him that "it`s time to eat" I haven`t weighed yet. Again thanks for all your kind words.
