BBQ sauce.....made from the tomato...heavy in lycopines which is very good for you...Natural genetic variation in tomatoes and their wild relatives has given a genetic treasure trove of genes that produce lycopene, carotene, anthocyanin, and other antioxidants. Tomato varieties are available with double the normal vitamin C (Doublerich), 40 times normal vitamin A (97L97), high levels of anthocyanin (P20 Blue), and two to four times the normal amount of lycopene (numerous available cultivars with the high crimson gene).
....definately a good choice...
As far as exercise i believe in Maxines theory that you are born with so many programed heart beats....so why use them up on exercise:silly:

I would actually think it is the loss of stamina from the trauma of the surgery itself (very slowly returning)which reduces activity, but I think I'll try selling the loss of prostate story to my wife.

Not sure if it's the "diet" part or the fact that removal of the prostate leads to less "exercise". :( :blush: :blink:

I told my wife that I can't diet because it causes bowel irritation. Wow, that got an icy response.

Also some people forget there are important nutritional components to BBQ ribs. After all, istn't BBQ sauce a recommended food group? :laugh:

My weight loss was great...at first. Before I went in I weighed 224lbs and after surgery I was down to 195lbs. It has been 9 months and I now weigh in at 215lbs. I really liked it at 205 but it seems water always finds its level.
I too find great solace in a rack of ribs and cole slaw. Sorry, gotta go and find a BBQ joint:P :P

Light a man a fire and he is warm for an evening.
Light a man ON fire and he's warm forever.

I was hoping to lose quite a few pounds with my surgery but only lost about 5 pounds which is probably about what they took out of me. I am not really overweight but always have to watch what I eat. I always had an appetite. I remember my husband bringing food into the room the day after my surgery and it smelled so good and I couldn't even have water!!! I now have gained an extra 10 pounds and need it off. I walk everyday and an trying but it is hard. My surgery was last Sept.
