Hi Ladies - Hope you are all recovering well....
Hi Ladies -
Hope you are all recovering well. FitChick45 and I were talking on here about the wonders of plant strong eating for overall good health and weight loss. I thought posting a picture of my husband might encourage her husband.
So, please see a new pic above of my husband and how eating plant strong has changed his physique. His boss told him he looks younger which a great thing to hear for a man who is 56.
I've lost 20 pounds in the past year and my husband has lost weight, too eating a plant strong diet. Plus, unlike low carb eating (which over taxes the kidneys, makes the body acidic, raises cholesterol and BP), plant strong eating makes you healthy on the outside AND inside. Dr. Atkins, the father of low carb dieting, was fat and died of heart disease.
My cholesterol used to be 198 and now it's 124. My BP used to run 140/90 and this morning it was 108/69. I wake each morining without an alarm clock and have plenty of energy during the day without ever needing caffeine.
For anyone reading this who is open to learning more about losing weight AND getting healthier may I suggest the following books and movie. You can also search YouTube for videos by the esteemed docs mentioned below.
1. "Forks Over Knives", a movie available on Netflix.
2. "The China Study" by T. Colin Campbell, PhD, the Jacob Gould Schumann Professor Emeritus of Nutritional Biochemistry at Cornell University. The NYT refers to "The China Study" as the grand prix of nutritional studies.
3. "Dr. Neal Barnard's Program for Reversing Diabetes" by Neal Barnard, MD. He is the founding president of the Physician's Committee for Responsible Medicine.
4. "Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease" by Caldwell Esseltsyn, MD (Yale and Skull and Bones) of The Cleveland Clinic. This book infulenced former President Clinton to change his eating.
5. "The Starch Solution" by John McDougall, MD. At age 18, Dr. McDougall suffered a massive stroke which he attributed to his high animal product diet. I lost 20 pounds, changed my bp and bloodwork for the good and have tons of energy thanks to Dr. McDougall (see www.drmcdougall.com).
I pray that some of you reading this will take a look at the info above as I know you and your families will be blessed by it. I am grateful to you ladies for encouraging me and sharing your surgery stories. Thank you!

PS I am am almost 29 weeks post op. I will post pics of myself soon. I need to shave so I don't scare you ladies to death or make you toss your lunch!
My only issue is that I have swelling underneath the skin in my upper belly button only. It's worse and visible through clothes after exercise. Docs nurse keeps telling me this is normal. What do you ladies think? Do any of you have localized swelling around your belly button or any other area months after surgery?

Went to the dentist this past Tuesday and he told me I was looking younger. I said I'd lost weight. I didn't mention the TT but I am sure that's why I look younger...no more hanging, protruding, mommy tummy!
Have you ladies heard that, too? That you look younger.
