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.

      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.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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!
