We love it so much! I just had surgery a few weeks ago, but this summer I think I want to buy an stand up paddle board and go out on the waterway! So beautiful

Intense Head Hunger Post op

Look up some information about mindfulness, and not getting too caught up in your thoughts. This was so weird to me when I first heard it, but now it really helps. I think this page kind of explains it: https://medium.com/meditation-without-mysticism/stop-trying-to-control-your-thoughts-10da33629cd7#.brs3wecsz Also, I think the information ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) provides is helpful. They advocate accepting your thoughts and feelings, and doing things that you value anyway. In your case, "Yes, I am thinkging about pizza. Thank you, brain, world's worst motivational speaker. I can go ahead and drink my Protein shake anyway, because I value my health." If you feel like your depression is not getting better, definitely reach out to a counselor. Hugs! -

4 Days - Tummy Cramps
Nicole Paxton replied to Hummingbird1918's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thanks for sharing, guys. I woke up this morning and started to look up this same issue. I barely got in four ounces/hour yesterday, and today my goal is five. Five! Yikes! Good to know that it gets easier.
