Guest guest Posted July 13, 2005 Report Share Posted July 13, 2005 Jill; Just to let you know, the other replies you received aren't the only possibilities. I had a colon resection done via the laparoscope and I had absolutely no problems from the surgery. No infection, no bleeding; and everything worked after two days. Yes, it was cancer. Yes, I have been taking chemo; but I have also been working all of the time. I have gotten my health back. I had colon cancer spread to my lungs and that was nasty; but now I am doing great. In fact, I just returned from a week in the Yucatan in Mexico with my daughter. This is not the end of life as you know it. It's just another challenge that you can meet easily. Stay positive, and don't be afraid. The process is not that bad. In some respects, it's been fun. I've met some of the nicest people I have ever known through this journey. God bless, and stay strong. -joe- > Hello. I just joined the group because my husband just had a polyp > removed during a colonoscopy which came back as cancerous.

Guest guest Posted July 14, 2005 Report Share Posted July 14, 2005 In a message dated 7/14/2005 11:17:29 AM Eastern Standard Time, jill57c@... writes: Thank you all for your reassuring replies. I've been doing lots of research and found that our gastroenterologist/surgeon is the only one in our area that is ASCRS (Association of Colon and Rectal Surgeons)certified so that makes me feel better. I'm just hoping that everything has been caught early and there is no lymph node involvement. I've got a list of questions to ask the surgeon at our next appointment. My husband just doesn't like to talk about this stuff. He almost passed out in the doctor's office on Monday when the doctor was describing the surgery to him. I guess it's up to me to be the go-between here. Thanks again. We WILL get through this. Hi Jill... Welcome to our " family " ...you WILL get through this and you will be the strong, caring loving caregiver...and yes, you will be Hubby's ears. I've found that Glenn has either very selective hearing at the drs. visits or is in another world and just doesn't " catch " it all. I write everything down I think I need while the dr. is talking. And he's kind enough to slow down and wait for me to write. I always have quetions, some he can answer, some he cant. Don't forget in all the hubbub to continue to take care of Jill, also!!! We'll be here for you Jill, for you to talk to, with and at. That's might be the biggest reason next to being scared shitless (ooops!) that most of us seek a support group. We need to talk, vent, cry, scream without being judged...and we also need to joke and laugh. We do it all here, so I'm glad you found us....we need you, too!!! Lots of hugs and prayers, Donelle Caregiver to Glenn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel > really bad, and I am scared I have really messed up. Well, ICBINB is allowed on the diet so that's not a problem. As for the yogurt, there's plain yogurt in the same place as the regular yogurt. If you can't find it, just ask someone at the store. Unless it's a mom-pop grocery store, they'll have it. Now, for being scared...huh?! That's silly -- everyone makes mistakes, it's part of the learning process. Go forth and sin no more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 2, 2006 Report Share Posted March 2, 2006 The margarine is okay. Was the yogurt the sugar free kind that is artificially sweetened? If so, I wouldn't worry too much. If it had sugar, that would be a problem. ann > > Did I mess up really bad,I usedsome I can't beleive it's not butter, > light and I had some yogurt. I can't find any plain yogurt.

Guest guest Posted March 2, 2006 Report Share Posted March 2, 2006 Sweetie, Don't be so hard on yourself. This is a very forgiving way of eating. If you think you have messed up, start again where you are. Don't wait for tomorrow, but start again with your next snack or meal. Ann You spend your life fighting dirt, and when you die they bury you in it. hayakawa@...

Guest guest Posted March 3, 2006 Report Share Posted March 3, 2006 Sounds like it shouldn't be much of a problem. I ate artificially sweetened vanilla yogurt on phase 1. The fruit shouldn't be in there on phase 1, tho. But, it probably isn't a big deal if it's sugar free. ann > > It says Low fat and sugar free. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 3, 2006 Report Share Posted March 3, 2006 This diet is so forgiving of screwing up, just get back on the wagon and you're golden the next day. I've cheated from time to time on purpose just because I don't want to deny myself the better things in life, I just have a taste or two, no biggie. I'm down 28.6 pounds as of last monday's weigh in.
