I think we need a selflessness award (preferably a big gold medal) and it should be given to Charlie36. I've been reading through some old blogs, and I noticed no "poor me" from Charlie, just care and concern for others.
I send lots of Elove and Ehugs to Charlie. xxxxxxx
I quite agree. Warmest best wishes to you Charlie!
I second that, she is an inspiration to us all x
I agree wholeheartedly. Lovely lady.Best wishes Charlie. X
hello everybody i`m a new member so i don`t know about Charlie but I`il join in the congrats. i`m 81 and have just had the OP. I`m not too bad but I`m having trouble trying to eat enough!! I`ve changed to soya milk but has anyone got any ideas about solid food?

Hello Audrey,
Welcome. Sorry you had the cancer, but you're one of the lucky ones who've had the op!
Everyone has problems at first, indeed a lot of us go on having some problems, but you learn how to cope with them. I found the Crisbake rusks were easy to eat and stayed down, and are quite tasty. Don't eat and drink at the same time,
I can't manage soup, to me it IS like eating and drinking at once. A lot of people can't eat chocolate, but I can!!!
You'll have to experiment with very small pieces of whatever you fancy. Good luck, Let us know how you get on. Don't forget to rest after you've eaten, and as you must eat little and often, you'll get plenty of rest! Make sure you have a good book!

husband found avocado and humous together with crispy flat breads ok
I love humous, one of the first things I ate after my op. My daughter brought some to the hospital for me.
Totally agree. Charlie is adding so much to the success of health unlocked. Well done Patchworker for raising it and to you Charlie for al your positive contributions
