    Excellent Sweet!!
    Be careful there Sweet, you might have to go on a diet soon if you keep that up!!!! Great news for you and everyone to hear. Congrats. Cheers

    Jimbo

    Thank you, thank you, thank
    Thank you, thank you, thank you all!

    I don't know about having to go on a diet, Jimbo, but my eat free-for-all has stopped. I cut back on my milk with some almond milk, and the milk I do drink is now super skim. Stopped putting extra pats of butter on everything. I am not eating ice cream every single night. I have always eaten what ever I have wanted, just not huge quantities of anything.

    Dr Yuman said I looked about perfect but if I gained any more that would be fine too. He said he didn't want me losing any. My weight when I went in to radiation two years ago, was 127. I was 120 - 125 normally. I remember he was trying to get me to gain weight before I strarted rads.

    Thanks again for all the well wishes. I really appreciate all the support that I have been given here. Today, I just felt especially grateful for the friends I've met here.

    Congratulations Sweetblood,
    Congratulations Sweetblood, We are happy to here of the weight gain and just your getting back to normal. You have really helped Connie & I and it's really nice to hear things are good. I wanted to let you know Connie has finished all of her radiation treatments and although she still has a ways to go she has finished all her treatments. She is now in recovery stage and I am so proud of her. I think people that have had cancer and gone through the treatments really appreciate the little things in LIFE!! KEEP IT UP!! Love Ya, Homer & Connie

    You know, I had blue berries in my hand today, and I put them back because I keep trying them, and they don't work for me. They seem to be too tart or something, and then the seeds hurt my tongue, and get stuck in the stricture. I even tried them in a smoothie with no luck. Maybe I will give them a go again next month. Who knows, might work next time.

    try
    try in pancakes or oatmeal when they are warm. I can not eat alone either but some in something warm is a big difference.

    do not put too many either, you are right tart does not work

    It will have to be oatmeal.
    It will have to be oatmeal. Pancakes are still a little hard to eat for me. I have to drown them in butter and syrup and I'm not really crazy about syrup. I can tolerate warm things better now. That really was a problem for me when I was trying to get back to eating. I was always eating everything scalding hot. Had to be piping hot food or I didn't like it. No way I can do that anymore. I am lucky if I can do it luke warm. I found cold food very unappetizing. Getting used to it now n

    Sweet's Good News
    Sweet: I am new to this forum (and this disease), but I have gone back and read lots of older posts and I have learned a lot from you and the others. Now I know more of what to expect, what questions to ask and things to be prepared for before I need them. The knowledge I have gotten from all of you kind folks is precious...... so I wish you continued improvement and happy spring. Many hugs coming your way.

    Awesome Sweet!
    Way to pack on the pounds. The moment in the sunshine sounds nice and made me smile thinking of you outside Dunkin Donuts.

    Way to go Sweets,

    I am so happy that you are at a healthier weight. And finding it easier to eat certain foods. You have been through so much and a great role model for me as a newbie. I am still on the weight loss spiral though not dangerously low like you were heading so it gives me hope that soon I will be back to eating normal.

    Take care.

    Thank you for the latest
    Thank you for the latest well wishes. I appreciate them. My step brothers and their SO came up for a visit and I also saw some girls that used to work for me. They are all happy I am looking healthier and normal these days. I missed the family dinners. We all went to the Olive Garden today, 12 of us for my step grandfathers 80 birthday. :)

    Great news about the weight. That's quite a gain for us slow, picky eaters !!!

    I hope every day gets better for you with the saliva. That's my big issue too and I can surely relate. I use Stoppers 4 Spray a lot and it give me some fluidity, especially at night.

    Keep eating, smiling and praying. I think it's funny you were thankful in a Donut shop parking lot. Doesn't take much to make us survivors happy any more...ha...

    your the best,
    Steve

    Stacey, I did pretty good at
    Stacey, I did pretty good at the Olive Garden. I was kinda bad because I had a Chocolate Almond Amoré. It's a frozen drink with amaretto and other alcohol in it. It's a frozen yummy and creamy concoction. I always got one when I went, couldn't help it had to order one. Then I ordered the seafood portifino. I gave the muscles to my gram. I tried one and could eat some of the muscle, but I was afraid it was going to get stuck, and I didn't want a scene. I did ok with the shrimp and scallops, the pasta sauce was a little too salty for me, and a little burny with the pepper, but I did ok. I ate about a third of the pasta (the rest we gave to Tina's pig, Miss Eleanor Pigby) and I ate all the shrimp and scallops out of it. I seem to be doing better with shrimp these days. I even had a couple bites of bread stick. I had them fire my entrée with the appetizers. This way I could have more time to eat it. :)

    Great weight
    That's really good news and you know, I'm not surprised after reading some of your recipes. You've got some great recipes loaded with taste and calories.

    Glenn's team finally told me to stop worrying about his weight. He lost 83lbs. to date but he had it to lose. He's still not underweight by any measure but just looks skinny to me.

    Robin and Ron, hang in
    Robin and Ron, hang in there, I know this is tough, being in the thick of it. It sucks, and it's scary. I remember thinking I would never make it out of the misery I was in. There is a light at the end of the tunnel.

    Lisa now that I'm at baseline weight, I am backing off on some of the calories. It's hard, I never thought I would get used to butter, cream and EVOO. I have quite the little following on Facebook now with my food and people asking for recipes. They all say they want me to come cook for them, I keep saying highest bidder. Lol. Or I will room mate with some one who loves to clean, I will do all the cooking. :)
