Hello bluelagoon. I love this name! I once drank a cocktail with this name, lol. You left us with a cliffhanger. How was your surgery? I think that comfort foods are definitely in order after your have been told that you have cancer and in need of an operation! When I had chemo ( for my second cancer) I ate anything that I could keep down. I also made sure that I drank 8 glasses of water a day. But I have to tell you that I become very cautious when I read or hear the word miracle. It reminds me of the meme about selling a bridge. A balanced meal, whether vegetarian or eating meat should be a priority, of course. But I don't know of any miracles that have happened because of a diet. I think that we have to be very careful with promises that miracles conjure up. As cancer people, we have a lot on our plate and a hint of a miracle can suggest the wrong thing as Solomon Wickey's diet promises. Also when we restrict diets during very tense times it can exasperate anxiety flare ups. I don't know what I would have done with out my comfort foods during my four active cancers. How are you?
