Wow, gained 9 pounds back. Mostly because of medical tweeking of thyroid meds and diagnosing a gastro problem, but they were great to me. I have a new list of restricted foods in each food group, but the only major issue they need to help me with is that I cannot have any dairy. Nada.... The COD manager is calling the nutritionist on Monday and will call me to tell me what to substitute/add in place of 2 dairy servings.

Feels really good to be back and getting on track to lose what I put back and get going on the rest of the weight I want to lose.

Welcome back Roberta!

I'm sure they'll figure out a way to keep you losing without the dairy..
You'll be back on track in no time!

Thanks, Dan. It feels really good to be back. Missed you guys as well.

Roberta, 9 lbs is not a bad number... I gained that much in a week of bad food choices... Oops! lol

Kimberly
You are too funny.

Seriously,thanks for the Sunday smile.

Going back tomorrow afternoon to find out what the nutritionist said about substitution food for the 2 dairies.

Roberta

Welcome back Roberta!! Hang in there, hopefully they'll get you all straightened out.

ARGGGGG

Gained another 1.8 pounds since saturday. The COD said it is probably my body adjusting to the food since I went back on plan Saturday (officially) but without the dairy servings (2). The nutritionist substituted adding 1 starch, 1 fruit and 2 vegetables for the 2 dairies I can't eat. She said we will watch it for a week so see what happens when I am OP for one full week and then maybe I should try a FF (can't do the TO because of the soy in the bars), so they are working with me to get me back on the losing track. I really like my COD, the counsellors there seem to really care and are willing ot go the extra mile to help.
