So I am just a few days over 3 weeks out. Like most of us here..food was my savior. Good food was so satisfying. Of course I know now is the time to be healthy - I have been and I will be. No way I will let myself go back to the way I was. I just want to know what people now consider satisfying. I know all about the gym etc however I don't have clearance from my doc to start the gym yet. What are people craving in their new healthy lifestyle other than food (gym? Shopping? Self pampering)? Please share!!

Posing in front of the mirror.

Sorting through all the clothes that are too big- putting them in boxes and taking them to the charity shop

Also love trying on clothes that have been too small but fit/nearly fit or will soon fit- that's ace!!!

Especially knowing that I won't ever ever be in those big fat clothes again!!!!

I seem to have developed an online shopping addiction. :-(

I think i'm working on that online shopping addiction too. I was shopping from my iPad from home during my week off after the surgery. Then i'm doing it at work & after work. I keep buying kitchen stuff, a bento box for my lunch, Protein powders, Vitamins, running shoes, a ninja, etc. etc. etc. I even bought something today that shapes hard boiled eggs into animals because someone posted it on here LOL

It's pretty fun & my son is going to get a huge kick out of it when I put one in his lunch box!!

Shopping at Nordstroms 2-3x a week(was a shopaholic before VSG tho) and shaking my (almost) skinny ass for my BF!!!

Oh-la-la!!!

Shopping for odd and ends stuff o.0 sheets lamps socks running shoes.

Shopping!!!!!

I was banded almost two years ago, and i traded my addiction to food for an addiction to the gym. Started going right at six weeks post op, and i'm still going 6 days a week. As the weight came off, i also got addicted to shopping for new clothes. Then my band slipped, readjusted, slipped again, and then had to be removed in an emergency surgery.

And the weight crept back. And i realized that the shopping was a problem.

So now i'm still addicted to the gym, but looking for something to replace my shopping addiction.

Definitely online shopping
