Guest guest Posted September 11, 2011 Report Share Posted September 11, 2011 You lose weight because the pain meds act as a deterrent to eating. My activity level was high before my TKR. I played and walked through the pain. It was the pain meds that kept me to about 1 tablespoon of chicken salad a day. I have still, more or less, kept it off. I say more or less because a new bakery opened here with divine sourdough bread. Sigh. Joan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 11, 2011 Report Share Posted September 11, 2011 There is (wives tale possible) truth to that yeast based bread addictiveness and i have fallen victim to it once too often I think the yeast in the bread causes me to seek either more bread (if my special yummie type) or if not more bread then something sweet becomes the focus of my addiction. Wives tale is that the yeast causes you to crave sweets so it can thrive (keep reproducing itself in your body as long as you let it).
