Help fighting boredom



Recommended Posts

Hi,

Im new to all of this (second fill) and I never relized how much extra time i would have on my hands after I stopped over eatting. I dont know what to do with myself anymore. Sometimes I feel like a trapped animal. Last weeking I almost broke down in tears from boredom. :)

Im too overweight to do a lot of activities that I would like to do and I have discovered that almost 100% of my interaction with family and friends takes place over some sort of eatting event. What do you guys do to burn time? I have been to the zoo, but it was so hot that I was miserable. I've gone shopping way more than I can afford. Now what?

I live in San Antonio and I looked for a LAP-BAND® support group here in town but couldnt find one. I've even thought of trying to start one, but Im not sure how to go about it.

Hello, my family is a bit that way as well. I'm a good cook myself and also my sister likes to go out and have lunch but she is much slimmer than I. I read stuff on the computer in the meantime if the weather isn't too great. I clean the house, make phone calls, visit other websites - anything to help. Sometimes shopping for low priced stuff. count calories with calorie king - do research into calories and carbs of foods on calorie king and plan menus - it really helps me a lot.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
