What do you do now instead of eating



Recommended Posts

What do you do when your friends want to hang out, or while your at home on a lazy day?

While your watching tv?

The more I think about things, the more I realize how much I incorporate food into almost every activity...so how do you feel the void?

Actually I'm struggling. I am trying to control the picking at night. I keep my phone in my hands a lot. It's so scary how much I ate/ picked at food. I'm thinking about taking up knitting to keep my hands busy.

I havent gone out with friends. I dont really have any. Ive been secluded for the past several years. I havent come up.with much of a replacement but if I had to pick I would say couponing. Clipping organizing,and planning shopping trips

I've started crocheting. In the 4 weeks since surgery I made 2 hats, 2 scarves, 2 head bands and now I'm working on a totebag! Gotta love YouTube for tutorials!

It's the hardest part because you are right ... So much of our lives revolved around food. I am not much of a tv watcher... So I just always have a water bottle to sip on. I too carry my phone with me like heather... I have the etsy and Pinterist rnytalk apps which are my go-to s.... I wish there was a pill to take with our Vitamins to take our minds off food... Lol!!!

What do you do when your friends want to hang out' date=' or while your at home on a lazy day? I don't have hang out friends. Everyone I know has a job & no time to hang out.

While your watching tv? I simply watch tv or sometimes I have Quaker cheddar rice cake stuff. Mini pop corn but I don't have to.

I feel fine. I don't feel food controls my life. I used to eat a lot like 2 plates fill like a mountain of home cook meals. My problem wasn't eating it was the amount in one setting. I didn't spend my whole day eating or watching tv eating chips.

      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.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
