Guest guest Posted June 10, 2005 Report Share Posted June 10, 2005 I have my surgery scheduled on July 13. Recently(in the past 6 months) I have gained about 8 pounds and I am watching my diet right now, although I am not really dieting because of the surgery. My question is- I know I will lose weight after surgery, but will it all come back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 Yes, because you eat less because of the hot weather. Your appetite totally changes. Weight loss happens to me mostly every year. Heh, I look forward to it. Not so much this year, though, with the weight loss for whatever reason. So, bummer on that score. The yoga explanation is that because the sun is so intense in the summer months, you get energy directly from it and don't need the energy from food in order to flourish - take that however you like, FWIW.

Guest guest Posted August 8, 2010 Report Share Posted August 8, 2010 From what I've read, store bought ghee isn't legal. Please check you label carefully it usually has stuff added to it. I've never had to make it because I don't react to dairy, but making it is supposed to be really easy. Here is a site that has a stovetop and oven method. Other users say the oven method is so much easier. http://www.rwood.com/Recipes/Homemade_Ghee.htm Homemade Ghee Accompanying article: Ghee (Clarified Butter) Makes about 2 cups It is critical to use unsalted butter to make ghee; and for the most flavorful result, use cultured butter. Organic Valley and some—but not all—European-Style butters are both cultured and unsalted. This recipe is easily doubled or tripled but requires increased cooking time. 1 pound cultured, unsalted organic butter Place the butter in a heavy quart saucepan and melt over medium heat, do not cover the pot. When the butter starts foaming, reduce the heat and simmer uncovered and undisturbed for about 15 to 30 minutes, depending upon the heat and weight of the saucepan. As its water content vaporizes, it will foam and you'll hear tiny, sharp crackling noises. The ghee is ready when it: • Changes from a cloudy yellow to clear golden color • Develops a popcorn-like aroma • Stops foaming and making crackling noises • Develops a thin, light tan, crust on the nearly motionless surface • The milk solids at the bottom turn from white to tan Keep a close watch on the ghee and remove from the heat when done. (If overcooked, it browns and starts foaming.) Let cool until it is just warm. Pour through a fine sieve or through several layers of cheesecloth into a clean, dry glass storage jar. Discard he strained out solids. When the ghee is completely cool, cover tightly and store in a dry place away from direct sun light. It doesn't require refrigeration. Always use a clean spoon to dip into it. Variation: Oven-made Ghee Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Put the butter in a 1½ to 2 quart casserole or oven-proof pot. Place the butter in the oven without a lid and allow it to clarify, undisturbed, for 1 hour. As it boils and foams the water content vaporizes and if you open the oven you'll hear tiny, sharp crackling noises. The ghee is ready as detailed above. Remove the ghee from the oven. Skim off the crust and, if desired, use it as a flavoring agent. Misty Kimble CD - no meds SCD - Jan 2008 > > > > > I do have a lot less bloating, but have lost more weight.
