Home vs. Work



Recommended Posts

Do any of you experience this? While I am home on the weekend or vacation, I tend to not be very hungry and eat less. However, when I'm at work, my body acts like its starving to death. :wacko: Is it because I am burning more energy at work than at home? Just trying to understand. :)

I'm the same. Not sure if its because I'm bored to death with the work I'm doing sometimes and get the munchers just to stay awake or because I sleep in later on the weekends. I just try to keep drinking Water because I know I'm not hungry. On the weekends I can go practically all day on one small meal.

I'm not nervous about anything since I've been doing what I do for the past 9 years. I guess I'm more bored with what I'm doing than anything. My fill level is awesome and I drink so much Water that the restroom and I are best friends. LOL

I have the same issue. When I'm home my hubs reminds me when it's meal time. At work I could eat all day. I do think it is due to bordem sometimes. When I have a busy day at work I don't get hungry, but if things are quiet, I am starving.

That darn head hunger thing.

Depends on what you do for a living and how active you are at home?

My home activity varies depending on the amount of errands I have so I'm pretty busy. On days like today I'm not busy but relaxing and I'm just not hungry. Weird!

I'm the opposite. At work, I eat less and am satisfied. Once I get home, I want to eat everything in sight.

I'm the opposite.....when I am busy, occupied doing some event, like right now at work...the last thing on my mind is food....

As a matter of fact, aside from my Protein smoothie for Breakfast at 5 am, I have not eaten anything yet today....and best of all, I'm not hungry

or missing it.....( I think I did have a few Girl Scout cookies)

I will eat a good meal when I get home, not because I want to but because I know I need to.....but I won't be starving and the band won't let me be a pig......

Weekends are a different story...at least in the winter, a lot of sitting around and grazing...but when I graze I don't have meals so it all evens out... warm weather will be different,

plenty to do outside......

I get hungry at work. Stress causes it as well as my coworkers. Coworkers make me hungry?? Yep. Making popcorn, getting lunch at 11:30 (didn't think of food til I smelled theirs), someone's bday so there's cake, free sodas etc in break room, people "pushing" Girl Scout Cookies, it just goes on and on.

      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?
