If you're looking for some ideas on what to snack on, I personally find that snacks like nuts, boiled eggs, or small portions of yogurt help me keep my calories in check.

It’s quite common to feel that way for a while after surgery, as you’re adjusting to your stomach size. This fullness can also be due to swelling, healing, and changes in digestion. Many people get used to this feeling over time, but experiences can vary from person to person.

My struggle lately has been getting back to my routine after my hysterectomy and dealing with lingering issues like constipation and fatigue. I’m also on Zepbound, which I think has contributed to some of the discomfort. It’s hard to want to do anything other than just sleep, eat, and try to relax. It’s been frustrating at times. I can tell you this...when I feel like I can't deal with my feelings anymore, or when I feel like giving up on my goals, I try to remind myself why I started this journey. Sometimes I need a mental reset or just a small positive action that gets me back on track. It is so easy to get lost in our current situation...and for me, that makes things worse. When I feel myself slipping, I also reach out to friends and family members who support me. Knowing that someone truly understands or listens helps. I also try to focus on what I’m grateful for each day. It helps shift my mindset, especially when emotional triggers around food come up. I hope this helps even a little bit. You're doing something incredibly difficult, and the fact that you're facing these feelings head-on is inspiring. Be kind to yourself.
