Guest guest Posted December 7, 2001 Report Share Posted December 7, 2001 Hi. Yeah, it's I again. I know, but there's not much else to do except clean the house, and if I do that, then my family will figure out what a relatively easy recovery I'm having after laparoscopic surgery. Then, it'll be all over. No more meals cooked for me; no more house cleaning; no more people feeling sorry for me. So what do I do to pass the time? I write long-winded messages to post on this board. I read Nick's message about how little to no sugar intake for the first six months after surgery improves weight loss during that peak period of time. How about this, though: remember Optifast and other similar diets? Remember how when you started to eat normally your body freaked out and put on tons of weight? Moreover, you were so excited to eat that you probably overate on top of it all? Well, I will venture to say that this same thing could happen if you don't allow sugar/refined carbs in your diet. Instead, why not put the " first six months " emphasis on exercise, which is one of the best possible things that you can do for your body for the rest of your life? Diet/restrictive mentalities messed us up before; let's not do it again! What do you think?
