And if adding weight is any indication of calories in vs calories consumed, I didn't gain a pound of weight my entire first year post Tx of consuming 3000 cals a day and I have to feel that if I was only getting 2000 a day during that same period then I surely would have lost weight and therefore I would conclude that 2000 was not enough to offset the "behind the scenes" healing activity that must have been going on. Whew!
