  • Update: I just wanted to post an update to let everyone know that I am feeling a lot better!

I will definitely draw from your suggestions and look forward to…

  • All of the above suggestions are very good, in my opinion ...especially peanut butter. You could eat it smeared on crackers -- It is surprising how filing and high in calories they are.
