This is part of a move towards a healthier lifestyle since Jim’s prostate cancer diagnosis. Thankfully, his pre-op visit included an appointment with a nutritionist. She recommended pomegranate juice (which he doesn’t like but chugs it anyway), healthy fiber, fish oil capsules with vitamin D, eating fish more frequently, 5-8 fruits/vegetables a day, green tea, oatmeal and blueberries and more. We have incorporated most everything into our diet already and will both make a renewed commitment to exercise after he has recuperated and gets the green light. I’ve included photos of a couple of our breakfasts which are the healthy start to our day. He’s already lost over 10 pounds!

I came home quick for lunch and whipped up some egg salad on a bed of spinacl leaves served on a toasted whole wheat english muffin. We are really fond of the Thomas brand though sometimes they are hard to find. Jim is still pretty tired but, after all, it has only been one week since his surgery.
