About this thing called weight...

Honest, post-op is not the time to be trying to lose weight. A very

VERY bad idea.

Whatever you lose, you will gain back, as soon as you start eating in

your previous patterns, and doing the same with exercise. If you want

to change your lifestyles, more power to you! That's the way to get

the long-term benefits, I believe. (You don't wanna know how I know

all this, nor how I grew so " wise. " )

But while you're healing, you need excellent nutrition to get enough

calories in there to do the job. You will probably have to struggle a

bit to get enough going for you.

This is important. Your jaws won't do right by you, unless you do

right by them -- and the rest of your body -- by providing the fuel

for healing.

You can gain, lose, do whatever, later on. But this isn't a quick

trip to a weight-loss success, honestly, and please don't try to turn

it into one. You'll regret it, honestly.
