I work from 8 am to 7 pm Monday thru Thursday. I take an hour lunch and I walk 1-mile. After I get off from work, I then go from anywhere from 2-3.5 mile walk. On the weekends we go to the thrift stores to look for clothes to fit our new bodies. Once the weather cools down, my husband and I will start hiking again. My time eating hasnt change much, just the volumes, I do walk more then I did before.

I agree with the above poster, I still eat just the volume of food is different. I never sat around and ate all day before! I just ate the wrong food and a little too much when I did eat.

I work 7:30-4:00 m-f and when I get off, i come home, make dinner, walk the dog then exercise. That pretty much fills up my days. On the weekend, i shop, do laundry, clean and exercise. I also watch movies and hang with friends.

I was an evening smacker while I watched TV. Since I no longer snack (3 meals and one Protein shake per day), I spend less time watching TV in the evening. I tend to play on my computer more and read. During the day I actually spend more time eating. Before retraining, I was a fast eater, often gulping down Breakfast and lunch in 5 minutes or so and finishing dinner in about 10. Now I spend 30 minutes on lunch and dinner and about 15 on Breakfast.< /p>

I used to have many regularly scheduled snack times...and I substituted Water for food at those times. My house has never been cleaner, I have spent days cleaning out my closet of old, huge clothes. And now my garden has twice as many flowers as before, I've found that gardening is a great "passive" exercise.

I spend a lot of time thinking about food. It's killing me. :(

I am actually with the poster who said she tries to spend more time eating during the day. I used to wolf down volumes of food, and now I am finding that if I eat too fast, I feel really bad, so I have to eat slowly and listen to my body more carefully. But, in terms of activities, I still go out to eat (I just have leftovers!), and I am working out a lot more!

Actually I spend WAY more time eating and drinking now. Before I could just shove down a meal and drink and then be done with my day. Now I have to CONSTANTLY think about eating or drinking something. IT SUCKS MAJOR LOLLIPOPS, but I know eventually things will get better.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.
