When I was in the hospital with a bad infection from knee surgery, as I was starting to feel better, I got very, very hungry and I needed a good breakfast. From the hospital menu, I ordered a breakfast burrito with extra eggs and potatoes, pancakes, banana, oatmeal, vanilla pudding, and a couple of cookies for later. I justified my rather greedy choices by telling myself that the nurses would be happy to see me with such a healthy appetite. I was in the hospital for 3 weeks. Sometime during this stay, I realized that the steroid demons had taken over my brain! What am I doing?, I asked myself. Under normal circumstances, I would never eat like this. For the rest of my stay, I put myself on a low calorie, sodium, fat, sugar, high antioxidants, and high calcium diet, because I knew that steroids spike your sugar, make you retain water and sodium, give you hypertension, stir up heartburn and alter your body's ability to use calcium.
