Hi - was thinking more about weight - before I got PN I ate constantly and stayed thin always - but as you mentioned - acitivity was key.... I never stopped running around - walked instead of drove as much a possible - rode my bike everywhere - to release stress at work would dissapear into the stairwells and just take a couple of runs up and down them (sometimes 21 floors), or just take a walk around the neighborhood (in high heels!) - I hated working out at the gym and wasted money on two gym memberships I used only a few times each - dumb.... also just was always active around the house etc... basically always on the move... I know with PN with are all limited - and I dont know how much so you are.... but eating healthy combined with as much moving around as you can really seems to help (and also sometimes not so healthy! give a million bucks to be able to eat a Cheetoh again or pizza!)....

The one issue I had pre-pn was high cholesterol and my doc couldnt figure it out cause he knew how active I was etc... then I discovered on real long days at work I often wouldnt get home until almost 11ish, and I'd grab a frozen dinner - he told me to start watching the fat content in them.... I found that many of the traditional ones had 30 to 40 grams of fat - ridiculous! So even though I looked very heathly, the stuff was getting me... (and found frozen dinners for long days that had less then 10 grams usually)... also discovered that eating something like just fruit in the morning was silly - I was hungry half an hour later - so would eat stuff that would "stick to my guts" for a few hours - oatmeal, cereal with lots of grains, eggs, etc... waffles, or even muffins (which usually have lots of fat but seemed to be necessary in the AM to be able to function)....

Just some thoughts.... the most important thing I think is being in shape - which is so hard when we are sick - gotta find that balance!
