This has nothing to do with weight loss or surgery or anything. I'm self diagnosing here... I'm pretty sure I have something called Misophonia, which, according to WebMD is a "disorder in which certain sounds trigger emotional or physiological responses that some might perceive as unreasonable give the circumstance". Certain noises DRIVE ME NUTS! I can't stand mouth noises in particular. Mouth noises are lip smacking, throat clearing, loud chewing, etc...... It's the worst!!!! Of course, a coworker does all of these things, so I feel insane right now! UGH!!! I wish I could just not let it bother me, but that's not how this works.

I eat shirataki noodles sometimes and my fiancée has a monthly subscription. He eats them with everything, but I only find them nice if they’re rinsed and sautéed in an Asian recipe. I find them too much like rice noodles to use as spaghetti, so I stick to Chinese or Vietnamese recipes.

Yeah, I got the same bs from my family for awhile. Two days after surgery my sister goes "It doesn't seem like the surgery is working for you." Naturally I respond "Its only been two days, you dipshit." At the end of the day rude comments from family bother me less than those from aquiantances.

Sadly, even 4.5 years post op I am STILL unable to stomach drinking plain H2O. This is an issue for many post op. I'm using sugar free powerade, unsweet tea, 'stir ins', any form of lemon/lime I can find, and a few other options. Anyone else here affected?

I'm the same way. I have to keep some background noise going on whenever possible.

Try listening to music while you are working so you cant hear it. Good Luck

Make a vision board! Put some people up there who have a similar body to the one you aspire to have. Sent from my SM-G960U using BariatricPal mobile app

Ok seriously it sometimes takes having a 'come to Jesus meeting' with yourself... I've been there. For REAL. I had the regain. I had the 'I can eat everything just in small amounts' self talk. I had the people come up to me 2.5 years post VSG and ask me if I was pregnant!!! Now at 4.5 years post, I've lost my regain, lost even more and am getting ready (finally) for my skin surgery. For ME, it took an ugly health issue to get my act straight. It's different for everyone but you have GOT to find your "WHY". Once you do that, then you need to just get back to the VERY BASICS. attend some bariatric support groups. track your water, activity and intake. empty ALL the junk food out. start taking your own food to EVERYTHING so there is no temptation. Go back to your surgeon office. talk to them. seek out EVERY form of support you can find. attend an Overeaters Anonymous group in your area, or a Food Addicts meeting. Do WHATEVER it takes. Sadly, statistically the regain odds are not in our favor. Let's all prove those odds wrong.
