What's Your New Addiction?



Recommended Posts

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!!

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 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!!

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. :D

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
