So as I round the corner to year 3, I see that it is now up to me. There is no "magic" left....the malabsorbtion of calories is gone....and I have to work to keep the pounds away.
The main saving grace I have is that I continue to exercise a lot. I have not been able to run as much over the winter, but the coldest days are gone and I'm already running much more. I got sloppy and was eating way too many cookies and junk, and had to cut back.....I'm excited about the good fruit that will hit the stores soon!
Lisa, you can do this. You are a strong woman! And you deserve the extra attention it takes to put you first. Please do it now.
We are here for you! Come by daily and be accountable for what you eat and your exercise...in my daily "whatcha eatin" post!

Topic: RE: Day 2
Hey Lisa! Are you tracking your food? Whole wheat bread is not the enemy....there is something else that is packing calories and you need to find it so you can limit it....or maybe it is a combination of metabolism slowing down, lack of exercise....there are many factors.
I just started tracking my food again because I gained 4 lbs. I THOUGHT I was doing good (I was eating all healthy stuff) but I was still getting close to 2,000 calories per day....and I haven't been running as much due to the cold weather....so I've had to go back to logging my food and eating 1,600-1,800 calories per day AND making sure I get my workout in.
Have you tried the FlatOut wraps? They are whole grain, have protein and are only 100 calories for a wrap....you can put anything in it and eat it on the go. Also, I grill a batch of chicken every weekend and eat a grilled breast every day....low calories and 53 grams of protein...I just pull of a chunk when I'm hungry. You could pack a wrap, some strawberries and a couple dill pickles. Another day you could pack some chunk cheese and lo fat Ritz crackers and some apple slices or a banana. The dill pickles are low calorie and really help with cravings.
You can do it! We are here for you.

Lisa maybe some one will come by and can help you out. Being that I am out of the work force I just have no idea. That is the pits that you can't sit down for 30 minutes for a break. When I was nursing it always ticked me off that we couldn't take a break but yet the smokers could get a break. Glad to see that you had a good day. I think I had a good day, no junk what so ever. We Can Do This!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Topic: Day 2
Okay, so this is day 2 of my return to the plan. Believe me for whatever reason I am worried about next week. I work long hours with no lunch break. We eat a sandwich bite between patients and although I use whole wheat...I still managed to pack on the pounds. So I have to figure out lunch over the next week that I can pack and snack. No prep while at work. Any ideas? I am cooking chicken breasts now, not a real fan of chicken salad.

Thanks Louise for responding. I really need to know I'm not alone and I want to be supportive of the newbies and show them that a gain can be battled. It seemd like I just fell into a lull of some sort and somewhere along the way I quit trying, I did well yesterday. I managed to stay on track the whole day and did exactly what I was supposed to. My work week will be the challenge though. Let's DO THIS!

Hey Lisa. I am right there with you. I had got in the habit of eating a lot of carbs and having a chocolate with almonds candy bar ever day. I have put on about 10 #. As of last weekend I have ditched all those carbs and have not had a candy bar. I drink 4 16oz bottles of water ever day. I will only have a sip of coke if I have something stuck and need it up or down. I do have the tiny little 7 oz cans but I keep them outside in my utility room. That way I am not tempted. We CAN do this. I am also 8 1/2 years post/op and it just seems that it gets easier to pack on the pounds. I am back on the wagon as of last Monday. WE CAN DO THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
