Journal thread?
I'm having a real problem with snacking lately. I think it has a lot to do with my crazy schedule, and not making time to really eat right. As most of you know, I just had my one-year anniversary. The first six months, nothing tasted good to me. Now, I feel like I have a constant sweet tooth. I don't think I'm overeating, just making the wrong choices. I haven't really lost any weight in the past six weeks or so, although I haven't gained weight either. I am terrible at keeping a journal, but I know that if I did keep one my nutritionist would kill me next time I see her. Has anyone else gone through this after surgery? I'm thinking about starting a journal thread where at the end of each day we post our food intake for the day. I'm hoping that it will help me get a grip, but also that by seeing what others are eating I might get some ideas to change my ways. Would anyone else be interested in participating in a thread like this?

Hi Jay,
Sounds like an interesting idea. Especially if it helps you get back on track.
I do think you might need a little info from those that post though. You might want to come up with a format that each person would use.
ie: Name, Surgery Date, Male/Female, current wgt, age (gasp...I know the ladies will protest that one), and then what you ate and when....
The only reason I say that, is that the things you are eating, at a year out, might be way over the top for someone a month or two out. Since this forum is open to anyone, some of the newer surgery patients (without the background info) might think it was OK to eat the way a person 2 years out is eating.
Just a thought.
Sounds like a great idea...let's see how it goes in practice!
