New lipstick, new lotion, new perfume.

New hobby or pastime you like that he wouldn't.

Call friends.

Troll these boards.

Join one of the weight loss challenges here.

Buy something in a smaller size.

Get outside and get some sunshine and fresh air.

Think of how much weight you lost when you got rid of the boyfriend!

I totally understand what you're talking about. I broke up with my bf of 7 years a few months before my surgery, moved out of my house, quit smoking and started my own business. Needless to say I have a pretty high stress level! Not being able to turn to food for comfort (nope, you just won't be able to stress eat anymore as hard as you might try!) has been a challenge. I replaced that urge to feed with walking/running. I bought myself a pair of very good running shoe and some Dr. Dre Beats. When I feel that stress coming on and that panic feeling that i need something, food, nicotine, instead I put on some really good tunes, my running shoes and just head straight out the door. It's working so far :D

Well this sure as hell stinks and will make things harder. But things happen for a reason and you should be glad that guy is gone if he wasn't prepared to support you. This is going to be one hell of a challenge for you and when you come out the other side you will be much stronger, much happier with the new you, and will have made new relationships with good people who will support you.

Look at it this way girl... Your new sexy body is on it's way OUT! My exhusband married our home wrecking "friend" the day of my surgery. 14 months later, she is as big as a house!!! She just delivered a baby boy. I have lost 129lbs +165 of a sorry ass man. He texted me telling me how good I was looking. NO food FEELS AS GOOD AS KNOWING HE REGRETS THE DAY HE LEFT. Stick to your plan and he will be the one eating twinkles and crying before long.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
