I try and do other things. I don't want to go back to the weight I was before so when I really get stressed I go for a walk. I put my headphones in and walk. Gives me something else to concentrate on. Oh I want the junk food and especially when I'm really stressed but I don't want to step back. If I have to get something then I try and eat fruit.

I learned to paint my nails really well and do nail art. I'm still pre-op but I wanted something that wasn't "go shopping" or "go get a pedicure" because my life is too stressful to be able to afford that stuff all the time LOL. So painting nails is something cheap... and you can't eat during obviously, and you also can't eat after because either your nails are still wet or they reek of nail polish/acetone. Very effective lol. I am a "peeler" so I now do my nails 2-3x a week to prevent myself from peeling them.

I browse Pinterest for healthy recipes! I also lurk on bariatric pal and reply to every post I can. Trying to support others. Also I will eat a sf popsicle of in really needing to munch. We keep at least 2 boxes on hand- that way I get liquids and my sweet fix . So far I haven't had more than 3 in one day. Usually 1.

      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! 😞
