Grazing is the DEVIL!



Recommended Posts

Its true what they say, grazing will undermine everything.

This was my first Christmas since VSG this past spring.

With so much bad stuff in the house - Christmas Cookies, chocolate, and other holiday goodies ... I found myself snacking throughout the day and night (something I had not done since VSG).

After consistently losing 2-3 lbs a week since surgery, I actually gained 1 lb the week before and though Christmas.

Went on a trip right after Christmas to FL. While I was eating out all meals, I didn't eat anything in between.

Just got home AND ... lost the pound I had gained and 2 more. My body picked right up where it left off.

Conclusion: Grazing is the DEVIL!

I absolutely agree with you and learned the same thing myself. I've been off work since the 23rd, and we made treats to give out as gifts. We also hosted Christmas Eve so there were lots of goodies around the house. I was able to eat healthy meals but the grazing and snacking basically stopped my weight loss for over a week.

I went through the house yesterday and threw away anything that was left that was snack food. I'm sure I'll get back on plan, it was just surprising how easy it was to get off track!

Over the holidays, I've been trying to make myself sip on a bottle of Water anytime I am tempted to snack at parties and stuff. Then I have to wait at least a half hour after I finish to eat something and often the urge has passed by the time I can eat.

I had the same problem! Holidays are hard. I am starting the new year back to the basics. Lots of Protein and veggies and no carbs and sugar! It is nice knowing that once I get back to eating correctly that the weight will start coming off again!

      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?
