I have been noting with bemused interest the relationship one has with food post hospital ordeal. After a visit from Field Marshall LiveLong who inspects your food locker for the wrong kinds of proteins, fats,& solids, he usually leaves an occupational force consisting of those whom I fondly refer to as Food Police( spouse with the rank of Lt. General, with orders cut by the Bulemic Council for Regurgitation. All children under age 40 become honorary cadre, with super-soakem sidearms, filled with liquid tofu. Food Police matriculate from the local Mall's Repository of Books We Wish Had Never Been Written; And Damned if they didn't Buy Every One!
All deal with "foods" we'll never see again, lest we wish return visitations from Field Marshall PackYerBag.
As a diabetic with coronary artery disease with a "zipper", I can assure you that the refrigerator is the enemy, and any convienience store a brothel with its attractions in the shape of a twinkie. All foods within close proximity to any FDA approved preservative are to be considered poison akin to hi-treason. There is a rule of thumb that states "Any food in a Can that tasts half bad must Have a Sodium Level over 1200". Any byproduct extruded, siphoned, drained, or oterwise extractd from any legged beast of any quantity is merde on wheels.
To take your mind off food, you'll find youself in a room filled with sweat nazis. They will show you how to lust for the whirr of the treadmill, the rowing machine, the free weights, and a myrid of other machines designed to make anyone using it (but you) look real good in a remarkably short period of time.
All in jest. Adoption of an abundance of fruits and a minimization of naughty protiens will actually make you feel good. The boring but beneficial workout regimen is an excellent control for your blood sugar levels, and of course the required cardiovascular workouts which get the pump to do what it needs to do...work hard! We are all canidates for diabetes, (one out of three over age 50) so don't kid yourself there either!
You'll do just fine
But every once in a while...get a twinkie
