I do not think we talked about weight. Why, because i weighed about 172 or so loosing 28 from breast cancer. I must have been right on target!! Then i though, because at City of Hope you stay on the transplant floor, you get the kitchen. As you said, i found items to eat and after 2 weeks i could really make choices. I had favorites for side, but the main menu changed. The food was delicious. I am not a smoothy gal, but they had a few protein ones i would get.
I love your messages. Lorie need only come back close to BMT day, and the actual transplant will be made easier.

Lori, as to me, my blood as of one year last year showed my chimerism i think at a high number, but my A+ blood was still present. I have asked the office to check April 24th at my next visit, as I am concerned if at 2 years i am not 0. I did read you can have not 100 % chimerism.
