how to fill up time



Recommended Posts

My surgery for bypass is is May 2nd. I had sleeve 5 years ago. Since I will be eating so much less soon, what do I do with my time? After coming home from work, I usually prepare dinner, eat, then watch tv until bedtime. While watching tv, I'll eat a couple of Snacks. What will I do to avoid eating after dinner? I know I could exercise, or do a craft, but I want to relax and not have busy hands. Any ideas out there?

You can spend time preparing small healthy meals, relax on some internet sites, take a walk around the block . . .

Visit or read to a shut in, go to your local house of worship- I am certain they will sing Hallelujah not Hardly Knew you, if they do perhaps you should visit more often. Go to your local no-kill shelter,help walk the dogs, play with the kitty cats, you will be showing them, no matter what happened in their previous lives, there are nice people out there. Of course you just might find a new forever friend, Tomkitten won't let me go back to our local cat shelter, he's afraid I might stuff my pockets full Of kittens, so no "Pussy Pound" for me! There are a lot of places that need you and your help, there seldom enough for the outreach that needs done.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
