Tricare paid everything except the $25.00 copay it was a real blessing and I got approved for the Realized Band on the first try. I am thankful for Tricare.

I have found within the past month I have been wanting to eat all thru out the day. Its not much, but just like small amounts. I feel that I am falling back into old habits any help out there would be appreciated...I think I do it due to bordm or just I dont know.....

The group mainly talked about recognizing the dangers of emotional eating.  it was good.  that night time monster gets me too.   Try to make sure what you are eating at night is protein not carbs...watch the crackers.   the more carbs you eat the more you want.   I have started trying to go to sleep earlier.   around 9:30 is when it hits me   so last night I went out to Wally World  seeing it stays open all night.  I just walked around looking at stuff and reading labels for about 1 hour came home and got ready for bed....so I didn't eat last night.  but when I break down and eat I grab a piece of beef jerky or turkey jerky and it's protein.  and takes a long time to chew  

Sorry, can't be too much help.  I am 2 months post op today, and don't have the answer you need.  But maybe you can answer a question for me.  When are we cleared to join a gym?  So far I am walking 3 miles a day at least 6 days a week outside, because I feel like a hampster on a wheel if I use a treadmill.   I feel I am ready for some weight machines, but forgot to ask the gym question when I was last at Dr. Bours.  Thanks

Hey guys!

I have a question ...mostly for Dr. Bour's patients.  Basically because we are all pretty much on the same routine.  Are we allowed to have any type of boxed cereal?  I am soooo tired of oatmeal and grits.  I thought about plain Cherios, but I'm not sure.  I bought a small trial size bag of the protein cereal  from the nutrition store...it was terrible.  Tasted like flavored cardboard and it turned to mush before I finished it.

I am almost 4 months out (on Feb 14th).  I have lost a total of 57 pounds since surgery and have 20 to go.  Dr. Scott told me that I was far ahead of the game.  He asked if I was starving myself (lol).  I went from a size 22 to a 10.

Anyway, just wanted to know about the cereal.  What types of things are you guys eating or snacking on that's not "bad".  I am so bummed that I missed Dr. Calhoun's "Emotional Eating" topic last week.  I really needed to attend that one.

Take care and any advise will be appreciated.
