Hope all went well! I so remember day 1 and 2 and 3 and etc.... so overwelming as I re learned how to eat. Felt pressure but take the time to heal well and focus on yourself. This is the time to be super selfish and put yourself first. Cry if you need to. Blessings!

Hello!
I've been needing to reach out for support and thought I'd check back in here at the forum to see what everyone is eating, etc. I personally have allowed myself to eat things I wasn't eating while I was losing weight and have had some gain which scares me. I can see that you 3 are all around 3 years out. I am also. I've been reading your menu's for the day... If you feel comfortable, would any one of you mind adding the amounts of food you are eating?
Thank you!
All my life I have only gained or lost weight and now that I am at my goal (for the past 2 years), I am finding maintenance super challenging.
I had my RNY Dec 2015 and lost 225lbs.

Good call on staying home Meg. I slid right past the on ramp to the 401 this morning so had to take an alternate route to the gym. Then my alternate route had a road closure so I detoured again. By that time I'm thinking I should have stayed home. With this crazy weather the gym was the busiest I've seen in weeks. And I thought I was the only crazy one out this morning. 
Anyway, I did 15 kms on the bike this morning and felt great! Now for a long day at work. We had more snow at my house than they have here at work so it will be difficult to gauge later what my drive home will be like.
Yesterday, we all got a kick in the teeth here at work. We were due to get a 3.25% increase on January 1st. Because the Province MIGHT cut funding to municipalities the City has chopped our raise to 1.5%. Not impressed.
2 yrs 8+ mos out

Good morning :)
Seems like the roads might be a bit slippery here today so I moved my appointment to Monday and we will stay home. Yesterday I ended up making applesauce with a bunch of apples that were running out of time. I used the instant pot but I forgot to lock the vent. My house ended up smelling delicious lol. I gave some to the little nugget and she really seemed to enjoy it. We are still working on getting her calories up so I'm really happy she seemed to like it. I will try mixing some in her cereal today.
QOTD: does any food give you the heebie-jeebies? I cannot stomach the thought of pureed meat. I just can't imagine what that texture would be like. I'm also squeamish about oysters.

Late to the game but I haven't been on in awhile. How goes it with the pain? I'm betting you're putting strain on your hips from the way things sit differently while you are sleeping now that you've lost some weight. Wondering if the pillow between your knees has helped any? Your body is going through tons of adjustments as things shift around, your body has to figure out new ways to carry itself. One of the best things I did this year was to get regular chiropractic care. It started because of a neck issue but who knew how beneficial it would be with all the changes of the body over the year...not me but I'm glad I did it! I've had some aches and pains too, my back a bit and my tailbone is just awful...hurts to sit for more than a half hour. Turns out losing all the padding on my butt would make it very hard to sit without pain lol. Hope your pain has improved!
