As some of you know, my father is in a bad way. Here is the update:
Dad has cancer. They think it started in the lungs. It has spread into his bones, especially his spine. Also spread to brain, spleen, liver, and on the adrenal gland. At this point Dad is in a **** ton of pain. They are going to do radiation to try to alleviate some of the pain he is having in his back. That's where the pain is concentrated at. Dad is very weak and really can't walk. It came on extremely quick and we had no idea that he was that bad. They are giving him very minimal time. We are trying to get Dad down near Philadelphia to be closer to my brother and I for hospice.
He is in Pittsburgh which is almost 6 hours away.
If you think about it, could you say a prayer to your God for some get rid of pain vibes for my dad. Him being in pain is killing me more than the fact that I have very limited time with him. I hate seeing him this way....

B: eggwhites, turkey bacon and swiss cheese, gutted w/w everything bagel, touch of butter
S: Blueberries, strawberries and banana
L: Turkey Chili and salad
S: Peppers, fennel and cheese
D: ?
S: ? probably ice cream
I could have done without the bagel, but it was soooo good and worth the extra, besides I really gutted it to the point that it was just a shell. . .

There are tons of sugar free syrups that you can get. Torani and DaVinci make them. You can find them online, at a restaurant supply store and at some other stores. I think Home Goods carries them. I usually go to Netrition http://www6.netrition.com/cgi/prices.cgi?manu_id=121 for online ordering b/c shipping is $4.95 no matter what.

All the prep before surgery will be worth it!! I was lucky and didn't have to do the 10 day liquid diet, I think I only did the three day. Many people drink Click coffee drink. I believe it does have protein and I have heard that it is good. You can go to the restaurant store on Bristol Pike to get SF hazelnut or French vanilla. They are usually 5 or 6 dollars per.
I think you can order Clck online, not sure where though!
Good luck!!

It's a beautiful Friday morning... It's the last day of the school year for me and my girls... and I am ready to start the 10 day liquid diet!
I'm pretty sure this thing gets worse before it gets better but I'm ready...
My question is...
Does anyone have a particular coffee flavored protein drink that they like - and is there a legal way to flavor it so that it tastes like hazelnut or french vanilla? Or, is there a way to add protein powder to decaf and then flavor it?
I miss my coffee already...
Happy Friday!
