I think probably the fewer carbs, the better. I didn't have surgery around the time I started gaining, just my metabolism getting messed up by adrenal burnout. My hormones got all screwy. I'm starting to feel a lot better, so when I return from vacation (leaving momentarily), I'm going to start back in earnest, both with eating right and exercising again. (My NP wanted me to stop exercising for a while so as to let my adrenals heal with no stress.)

I do think that as we get around this time in life, the little cheats we allowed ourselves before will only get us into big trouble now. Maybe we have to be even more consciencious.

Just rambling here. I sure don't have the answers.

Gotta run. Back in a couple weeks!
