Why do it? Because it's effing delicious, that's why.
I do lots of things that are less than optimal. I don't eat veggies, at all. I eat lots of red meat. Enough to cancel out about 50 vegans. I drink an absurd amount of diet soda. Artificial sweeteners are really, really, tasty.
This is the best I can do. It's a plan I can live with, long term. I could do better, but I'm 8 billion times healthier than I was when super morbidly obese. I've been pretty much the exact same weight for over 3 years now. That hasn't happened my entire life.
I'm not perfect. But I'm happy, and far, far better off.

Enough to cancel out 50 vegans- that cracked me up!
You know, until I read your post I never really thought twice about it.
What I eat is not optimal for early postop and maybe not even for most folks farther out. I drink a crap ton of diet coke. And I eat both artificially sweetened and real sugar-sweetened things.
Oddly, I've never really paid attention to what others are eating.
