Slow day at work, and guess what I want to do? Eat! This is my 5th day back on track. I've lost 67 since surgery and want to lose 50 more. Ugh. How do you deal with wanting to eat when bored?

We have the same surgeon :)

When I'm hungry, I either 1) drink some Water 2) Get up to use the bathroom or walk around the office and chat for a second 3) pop in a piece of gum.

If none of those help, I'll make sure its close to lunch time and eat my lunch, or eat one of the Protein packed Snacks I brought to work.

@@Capricornrose

this IS seriously a question that has plagued some/many/most of mankind for centuries :( ;)

no magic answer :huh:

glad you are back on track :)

any and all comments/suggestions are helpful :)

walking, chewing gum, talking on the phone, going shopping

but they sure don't taste as good as food :angry:

but always, run, run, run away from the frig, and fast food places

i remember what i used to look like, and how unhealthy i was

thats enough for anyone to start drinking!!!!

(too many calories :lol:)

pre-op and post op

83 pounds down :)

keep up the great work

kathy

congrats

      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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
