My Bariatric Gripes: The Daily Annoyances Nobody Talks About! What's your gripe?

I'm about a year and a half out and I would like to say that there is really no part of this journey I enjoy. I'm grateful for my tool but having to do the work of bariatrics is very very hard and today I'm just pissed because I still don't crave food.... like I don't Have a craving for food. I have to make myself eat, then when I do finally eat the food is like uneventful even though it's very flavorful.: it's just it doesn't give me that ummmp dopamine hit like it used to. It's like my food addiction no longer has that pazazzz that it craves. I can't explain it and then as I'm sitting there eating my f**king stomach is gurgling and making noise and it just irritates me like This journey is very very hard. Everday I have a gripe!

I think I have a lifelong gripe! Often times I just stand and stare at the wall and think how many years was taken from me from this disease of obesity....it's such a cruel disease to have it is just horrible. I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy and every day I wake up, I have to go to war with it and that is a big valid gripe!

Also i'm packing to go back home for Thanksgiving and I'm annoyed that I have to pack so much stuff. I have to pack protein food, my snacks, my sugar-free candies and I'm just it's like it's so much work.
