warpedskydiver 0 #3 March 2, 2011 I will translate, most guys who serve are used to a great deal of physical activity, when they retire there tends to be a slight cessation in that level of exercise, therefore a few pound get put on in the months following retirement. Couple that with getting injured so you are not mobile and we have to put down the fork I am guilty of this as I have not yet shed the 25lbs I put on while healing, (although I have not tried that hard) I hurt a lot and it is certainly discouraging.

Depends on what you restrict, if you restrict the high calorie low nutrition foods then no it wont. Being sedentary while recuperating and adjusting your dietary input is a smart thing to do.You are not now, nor will you ever be, good enough to not die in this sport (Sparky) My Life ROCKS!

k-dubjumps 0 #7 March 2, 2011 Gopher hole got me almost two years ago. I lived on Frosted Mini Wheats after my surgery for the duration I was on pain meds and crutches. Mainly because I lived alone and had a hard time getting around, let alone making a meal and then trying to carry it while using crutches. The plus side was I lost weight when I wasn't trying to and the high fiber prevented one negative side effects of the pain meds.Adrenaline is my crack DPH #3 D.S. #16 FAG #12 Muff Brother #4406 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Broken bones won't heal faster or stronger by overloading on calcium. You need a balanced diet. You can reduce overall calories due to being laid up. Damaged muscle tissue requires high protein for repairs. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
377 21 #11 March 2, 2011 Sorry about your accident. Get healed soon! I've always worried about gopher and ground squirrel holes. I wonder if there is any way to minimize the risk of a foot snag when landing.? Sometimes you can't see them at all if there is some grass growing. 3772018 marks half a century as a skydiver.

shah269 0 #13 March 3, 2011 You Americans need to get past this hugging thing. Hug your brothers and sisters. Just no ass grabbing...that's kind of gay....but there is nothing wrong with that. Does any one have Foss's number? I have something for him, a get well gift. But he seems to be out.....soemthing about a hole in the ground...Life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay.
