Lovely Morning chit-chat June

Good luck with your scans!

I no longer take food for granted after going through a phase last winter when I couldn't eat solid food and lost a lot of weight. Eat whatever takes your fancy and enjoy it! I do again now lol

Hi my friend, sorry for not getting back sooner, I do hope Mrs Tvman is home by now and has everything she needs, and please pass on my love and best wishes to her, how are you doing?, I know how I'd be.

Hi Lucy and Stella, my treatment not only gives you an expanding middle, but man boobs, or moobs, as we "like," to call them, and a complete loss of libido, happy days, seriously, there are more important things, than carrying a little extra weight.

You are right Eddie -  I guess I just want to feel a bit more like my old self but in the grand scheme of things ……

How is Lesley doing ? 

I know what you meant patrick. I had an episode of blocked small bowel and it was not nice! We can’t take enjoying food for granted. Chemo makes my sense of taste goes slightly bitter but generally not too bad. 

Eddie - we women are always under pressure to look slim. I should be grateful not loosing weight as that could be very bad news. 

I have made Vietnamese beef Pho tonight and it was really delicious and will do that again. Craig said he would be happy to pay for that in a restaurant. 

Lucy what did you had for dinner? X

Good evening TVman and Mrs TVman. So glad to her Mrs TVman is allowed home. It is truly shocking the carry on at A&E. It does my head in thinking of the winter months to come. Hope she will get better soon . Love to you both from

Nothing as delicious as yours sounded Stella!  

I had poached salmon and a green salad with added herbs, mange tout, toasted almonds and a light dressing . I make it regularly, it’s tasty . Followed by strawberries 

So quite healthy tonight

Hi Lucy, if you want to lose a little weight, and it's safe to do so, then why not my friend, just please be careful and maybe get a little advice first.

Lesleys doing really well, thank you, she and the rest of the family who went to Greece, came home today, they're all looking well, and my aunties will be stopping with us for a few days, till after the wedding.

Hi Stella, woman should feel confident no matter what, men/society says, they should look like, and I agree with you on taking the enjoyment of food for granted, having dysphagia, it's likely I'll end up being fed through a tube.

We had a very traditional English dinner, homemade cottage pie and new potato's, and fruit crumble and ice cream, almost everything from the allotment 

Never had Vietnamese beef pho, so Googled it, I'm sure we will have it soon, any tips on how to make it a little special?.
