jb - my dad wuz funny too.  I miss his sense of humor.  Your appetite will come back with time, but if you start to loose too much weight maybe you should talk to a doctor.  You don't want to make yourself sick.  Your dad wouldn't want you to make yourself sick.

jb - also, isn't it funny how small the world really is when we start talking.  My dad was from the appalachian mountains and you and your dad are from northern uk, yet both of our dads were so much alike.  But, it could still be cultural influences.  Like I said before, I don't know much about the UK other than what I've watched on tv and BBC documentaries, but isn't the northern end of UK bordered by Scotland on the other side of the Trent.  Am I correct?  Like i said - this is just knowledge from TV and reading - never been there.  Most Appalachians migrated from Scotland and Ireland.  Most of us are a mix of Scottish and Irish, or what we call Scotts Irish (although a lot of Scottish people I have met in my region get mad at me for saying Scotts Irish - yelling at me that they are not a drink, but I'm not saying Scotch I'm saying Scotts.  I guess I still have a bit of an accent.  But, in the region I come from it is totally appropriate to refer to yourself as Scotts Irish).  So, maybe there is a cultural thing that made our dad's so much alike.  Your dad's humor sounds like my dad's humor.  My dad ate chicken all the time and he loved to make jokes like he was growing feathers and the like.  My dad had a great sense of humor.  I remember one time there was a neighbor child who used to come to visit my dad.  He was ten and he had a crush on my 22 year old niece.  My dad got my niece on the phone one day and said, "You got a prospective beau down here who wants to court you."  The little boy was so embarrassed that he ran out of the house and hid in the yard, and my dad was laughing so hard his face was turning red.  It was funny.

I've never been to the UK but watch a lot of UK Tv.

I guess if you don't like milk I would just say pick the highest calorie things you can so that a few bites gets the most into you until your appetite comes back.  Or, make milkshakes out of soymilk and soy ice cream.  That's what I do at home, because I don't like milk to drink but I can stand dairy products if they are in cheese, yogurt or ice cream, but I never have regular milk at home, so I make soy milk milkshakes.  But, I don't know how easy soy milk and soy ice cream will be for you to get.  i live in a fairly large city with a lot of health food stores.

jb - your appetite will come back with time.  if you start loosing too much weight, try eating milk shakes unless you have a health problem that would make it bad for you to eat them.  I have my appetite back.  I have a very severe case of hypoglycemia, so if I loose my appetite it is very dangerous for me as my blood sugar will drop way too low.  So, I started eating things that either just had a lot of sugar in it to keep my blood sugar up with just a few bites or whenever i craved something I'd go get it and eat as much as I could.  Ice cream really helped me keep my blood sugar up, especially milk shakes.  Sometimes ice cream was too heavy and it would make me sick, but the milk in milk shakes diluted it a bit and also allowed me to sip on it slowly so that I could get more down.

jb - your dad sounds so much like my dad.  I can hear my dad saying that he's starting to grow feathers if he ate too much chicken.  Was your dad from the appalachian mountains?  my dad was, and that is how he talked.  your dad sounds so much like my dad.  my dad liked mars bars too but kit kats were his favorite.  for years and years it was m&m's.  he kept a jar of m&m's by his chair all the time.  then, to my surprise, he got tired of them and started eating kit kats all the time.  i can't eat a kit kat now.  I ate my first banana since he died about a month ago.  i don't think i'll ever be able to eat a kit kat again.  my dad liked roast too.  i'd make this roast where i'd just put a roast in the pan and put a packet or jar of onion gravy and a pack or jar of mushroom gravy mixed together on it and bake it like that so that it was just covered in gravy and make it with some mashed potatoes and he'd love it.  But, his all time favorite was fried chicken.  he had fried chicken for lunch every day.  I'd buy a box of it from the grocery store deli every few days so he'd have enough to last for a few days til I went back to the store again.  at his funeral i had a reception and served his favorite foods - it was a fried chicken dinner, bowls of kit kats, and for dessert cake and coffee.  He loved cake and coffee.  I do also hope he is able to eat wherever he is now.  He'd had a feeding tube for a few months before he died.  I hope when he got to heaven that a feast was waiting for him - fried chicken dinner and cake and coffee for dessert.

Thank you Christine.  I hope they have bananas and Kit Kats wherever they are and that they are enjoying them and at peace and happy.

jb - you and i are so much alike in the way we grieve.  I think many of the same things you say you think.  My dad had a feeding tube and couldn't eat at the end, and I find myself all the time wondering if he is able to eat now and hoping he is able to eat.  And, my mom couldn't eat at the end cuz her internal organs were full of cancer, and I find myself wondering if she is able to eat now.  I also hope all the time that they just have what they need.  When my mom was dying she tried to get out of bed once and when I asked her where she was going, she said she wanted to go back to where that big salad was we had been eating that morning.  Maybe she was going between worlds and there was a big salad waiting for her.  I hope so, and I hope there were other goodies waiting for her as well.  My mom loved Indian food and Lemon Merinque Pie and McRibs.
