Tammy as a truck driver and a post op patient I can give you an idea of what I do out on the road. My husband and I have a fridge in the truck that I keep stocked with cheese, low fat lunch meats, yogurt, fresh fruit and such. I don't eat all my meals in the truck but it sure does help on eating healthier. On the occassions that I do eat "out" I try to choose the best of the worst on the menu. I've found that most of the truckstops will allow you to order the childrens price off the buffet making it easier to choose the salads, soups and veggies off of it. I eat alot of eggs for the protein while out on the road too. The one thing I find hardest is staying active. I try to park the truck in the furthest spot from the door so aleast I walk that and usually when we are loading or delivering I try to walk the parking lot there. I've gotten some strange looks doing this but it does help with the weight loss. Also I carry lots and lots of water along with "edge" protein bars in the truck. Best of luck to you
