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.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
