Water, water, water. Keep drinking it. IF you are full from water you won't snack. (well, it helps me at least)

I hear ya! I only have a 4 minute drive to work... and yet I'd STILL rather work from home! lol...

Now that my office is "going paperless" I'm hoping to talk them into letting me work from home a few days a week. :)

This works for me: sugar-free hard candy. I love life savers and Brach's butterscotch. There is just something about having that in my mouth that takes away the hungry.

Where I work, I sit at a desk all day and find myself snacking when bored. To which at home I do not. Its weird, anyways usually I keep cheeses in the fridge at work and also some crackers to go with. This helps me ease that snacking behavior and then I drink a lot of Water. Problem with my office they LOVE their animal crackers, Peanut Butter filled crackers, and candy. I have fallen victim many times to snacking on the "free" food here. It's hard, I get it. I wouldn't get too mad at yourself days like this happen. I snacked on some pickles and cheese a few minutes ago to get rid of that snacking craving I had. I eat pickles on occasion because I reduced salt in my diet. To which I hate a lot of salt on food now.Anyways, Good luck and don't get too frustrated.

I will put a sugar free mint in my mouth...has the same effect as just brushing your teeth. Everything tastes yucky after you do that! This trick I learned when I was dieting and I would bake for the holidays...I would put a sugar free cough drop in my mouth. Again, you wont want to eat or even taste anything for a while....yuck.

Good luck!

      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! 😞
