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.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
