I posted the same concerns a while back. I was consumming everything in site. Sweets, fatty foods, anything and everything that used to be bad for me and I still wasn't gaining any weight. Just in the last month, my eight month post Tx, I have finally started to put back my weight on and people are telling me I look so healthy now but I'm probably in the worse physical shape in my life, sans my Tx period.
So now I am trying to cut back on all that good "bad" stuff I have become used to eating. It's really funny how before my Tx I never consumed 2000 cals a day; rode my bike 100+ miles a week and always seemed to have to watch my weight. Then after Tx until about a month ago I was consumming 3000 cals a day and I couldn't gain a pound if a million dollars was on the line. Now I may be going back to my old ways again. Just one thing after another with this damn disease!!
