I don't know what is wrong with me but for the past 2 days I have been wanted a bite of everything. I can go hours without eating something but then I get the urge to eat a few things at once. I am usually like this before my period but I don't start for another 2 weeks so I don't know if it's stress or happiness. Hmmm??? I just completed my masters program on Sunday and now I'm jumping into another school for my teaching credential and I am feeling overwhelmed, happy and anxious.. I just feel out of control and hungry. I am not eating big meals just Cookies, crackers, almonds or chips..:(

This is just me, but when I get like that and find myself grazing, I know it's time to "cheat". I find if I just eat whatever it is I really want, I get it out of my system. If I don't, I'll do exactly what you are doing, grazing on absolutely everything. In the end, I've done far more damage grazing than allowing myself a single cheat.

I allow myself one meal a month of whatever I want, i.e., I don't take fat, carbs, anything into consideration. It's my monthly meal cheat. I also allow myself one dessert a month, same as the meal. I find by allowing myself this I am able to have a lot more self control the rest of the time.

"I am not eating big meals just Cookies, crackers, almonds or chips"

Remove these from your house! And dont buy them if you are out. These are my triggers. Sounds like head hunger. If you must have a snack make it boring string cheese or chicken breast.

That's an excellent use of psychology...love it! I beelieve I will allow myself one "cheat food" for a meal every month!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
