I hope you are all doing well and surviving the January weather!  Here on the east coast we are in the midst of yet another snow storm with frigid temperatures.  It is challenging to stay focused:  drink plenty of non-caloric fluids, stay active, and avoid those high fat, high calorie comfort foods that slip so easily thru the band!.

Would love to hear from you.

Stay safe and warm,

Rosemary

I am interested in learning about band patients that are converting to a sleeve or other procedureI.  Please let me know how long you have had the band and what your insurance company has required to convert from band to sleeve or bypass. am

Another storm  - about 9 inches of snow here in NJ. 

Does anyone have any bariatric-friendly recipes for comfort foods?  Having a support group next week and want to discuss winter food cravings.  Has anyone made mac and cheese with Unjury cheese sauce? 

Headed for the treadmill now - keep active even in this dreadful weather.

Best regards to all,

Rosemary

I hope this message finds you all well, especially those on the East coast that were effected by Hurricane Sandy.

This can be a challenging time of year.  Just remember to stay focused, exercise, and concentrate on all you success.

If anyone has advise for the group on getting thru the holiday season, please post and share.  The best suggestion I can give is to PLAN!!!  Try not to go to a party or social event without some eating strategies to avoid high calorie consequences,

Enjoy the Holiday!
