Re: self care -- Food, Salt , Sugar , Water
No improvement in digestion so far @Former-Member
I have great difficulty eating enough on any given day.
Especially since much of it goes undigested.
I have picked up some of my lost weight, but it's taken me 3 years (since last surgery) to do that.
I'm now just a few Kgs below my healthy weight range - my weight prior to surgeries.
I lost about 12 Kg in hospital, almost 1/4 of my entire body weight (there wasn't much left).

Re: self care -- Food, Salt , Sugar , Water
I used to love making pasta. It was a no brainer, my goto recipes for when exhausted, but now we are on a low carb protocol. Eventually I get to use up all the pasta and fancy rices in the house. Hmmmm.
Good on you @Adge and @Former-Member re ideal weights.
We are not putting on much at the moment so thats as good as it gets here.
Cheers ALL

Re: self care -- Food, Salt , Sugar , Water
I need to eat lots more pasta (& carbs) - because my vegie diet has always been very low in carbs (high in fibre).
That's possibly partly why it's taken me 3 years to gain some of my weight back.
Good luck with the Diabetes info session @Shaz51
I've been borderline to Diabetes several times (for months). So I'm am hoping very much not to develop Diabetes.
