Time to Re-Focus...



Recommended Posts

Have you ever turned to eating because it is something to do? Do you find yourself reaching for something (it used to be food) but nothing is there? Maybe it's time to re-focus your attention to something other than that bowl of chips or that latte that keeps calling your hands! Hobbies don't seem to be as popular as they once were, sad to say. I like to watch TV in the winter (not much else to do when it's dark, cold and snowy out), but when I do, I usually have something in my hands (I especially enjoy crochet and cross-stitch). They say if you don't have a hobby that you do by the time you are 40, you won't ever have one. I don't know if that's true, but it seems I see a lot of folks over that age that don't seem to have anything to do but sit there and watch that TV, unless it's eating. My husband enjoys model trains, N-scale. He loves to read. We garden and ride the Harley in the summer when he gets off work. Things to do. Fun things! Find one! (or two or three....)

      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! 😞
