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

      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? 🤷‍♀️
