Barbara, in answer to your post, yes I find myself eating more. Which I know is just stupid. Thank heavens my surgery is in a week before I gain any more than I have already. Best wishes to you for an uneventful surgery and a recovery thats as quick and painfree as possible. This quote is from a book my grandmother gave me before she passed away. It was one or her favorites. "But if in your thought you must measure time into seasons,let each season encircle all the other seasons, and let today embrace the past with remembrance and the future with longing" (Kahil Gibran)
