I feel like I must have looked forward to eating and cooking and trying restaurants so much before surgery that I don't have anything to look forward to after work or on the weekends....like I need a hobby..I already excercise...I just feel like now that's been taken away from me I need to restructure my life around? Ughhh idk...

Some people volunteer somewhere like the hospital..Some people train for marathons...Some people think about the things they gave up because of the weight or because they raised children or got to busy...Reopen your mind to the things you used to like to do and revisit them..See if you like them again....

Enjoy your new freedom from less weight and live life.......You might not find your thing just now but it is out there waiting for you....Sounds like a fairy tale but this part of your journey is the first part...It gets even better!!!!!!!!!!

Funny u mention that recipes etc..I'm finding that I'm very disinterested in food..creating recipes and cooking would frustrate me I think..like to put a bunch of time into something I can only take two bites of ...LOL rather just drink my shake and keep it moving..maybe my answer is going to be more like running up my credit cards on new smaller clothes..haha!

Retail therapy is always an option but stay within a budget or you will get depressed when the bill arrives. I have filled the "void" with crafts (knitting, tatting, crochet and weaving) so I am always looking out for sales on yarn.

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

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      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! 😞
