OK so I am late here and I will let you know that there is food in every corner of this conference center and the choices are varied, they think they are doing well with "healthy" items but the amount of sugar I have to be real careful of, as well as over eating. 

Breakfast I had egg& cheese & 1/4 of a Belgian waffle (not great but needed a taste)
lunch Beef stroganoff  w/ baked sweet potato wedge
2 french fries (I told you the food here is everywhere)
snack - banana
dinner - I think is going to be the baked ham and another baked sweet potato wedge.

I am making my own lemonade from the lemons for tea & splenda because if I drink any more coffee I will be sick.  Also I have found a chi spiced tea that is nice when we walk.  I make a cup to carry with me.  It is a 1.3 mile loop through the woods and the deer are so tame they walk beside the path with you, it is weird.  OK back to NH tomorrow so probably no post from me I am leaving the hotel at 6 am for an early flight. 

I have been trying to start this post for over an hour!!!  Keep getting interrupted to work.  What's up with that!!!

Okay, here we go.

Breakfast:  1 cup granola and 8 ounces simply smart milk

Lunch: Homemade spaghetti sauce with little bit of pasta and parmesan cheese.

Dinner:  Pork chops, homemade applesauce, mashed potatoes and beans

I also have yogurt and my apple and peanut butter for snack.

So no gym for me tonight...VOTING!!!

Everyone get out and vote today.....It is your right!!!

Hi there...

Well posting on here is a great first step.  Admitting there is an issue is half the battle. The second step I would suggest is to get yourself to a support group meeting.  There is a post op meeting in Portsmouth at the hospital next Monday starting at 5:30. At 6:30 our psychologist, Jeff Wagner has a "Back on Track" meeting.  If you can't make that one, or you are too far away, there are support group meetings in other places, Manchester, Derry for a couple. 

Until then, I would concentrate on getting back to basics.  Track your food, weigh and measure, keep nothing but good choices in your house.  We have a daily plan posting here, and those of us that post there find it very helpful. 

Anyway, I am sure others will chime in here, but please keep posting and asking for help.  We are all here for each other!

 I need Help!!!  On Nov. 8Th it will be 6 years since i had my gastric by pass. Over the last year i have managed to gain back around 43 lbs. I feel terrible and feel as if i have thrown away everything i worked so hard to accomplish. I don't know where to go from here....

Well, I am going to keep my goal at 80 miles, the weather may not cooperate much once I get home, so I am going to have to make the effort at work to get this done!
