Hi, i am new here. i had rny at st. francis hospital in trenton nj in 2006. i had a rough time as i had a staple lift the first night i was home and ended up in icu for a week. initially i lost 100lbs but have gained around 40lbs back. i do not live a lifestyle conducive to a healthy weight loss program. i have consistently worked 12-20 hrs a day since being released to work. Anyway , my biggest hurdle lies in the night time when i am driving for 8 hrs at a clip. i seriously need energy and start craving carbs and sugar.i am up 20hrs a day most of the time. i do drink shakes but i am very strapped for cash cash right now and very stressed . i am gaining weight. i cannot go to the gym right now as i had a car accident on aug 26 and have some herniation and bulging disks in both the lumbar and and the cervical spine. i can't even afford my nutritionist right now ,i guess what i am doing is looking for someone to give some advice and maybe some direction.
