Ok for the last few days I've been nibbling and grazing. I have been requesting family member to remove food from my sight. I'm realizing that my food addiction is truly mental. Can anyone relate or give advice thanks!!

You did the first best thing logged into VST! :)

Eat some Protein, dense then you will be too full to graze. I know the grazing trap so easy..Unfortunately we have to live a a world full of food. I also chew gum, some people say it makes you hungry but it helps me do something with my mouth (I also blow big bubbles..entertaining to myself). You are doing great !

Plan what to eat and eat what you plan!!!!

Best to you.

I can totally relate. Just yesterday I wanted to nibble so badly even though I wasn't hungry. I was able to get myself up and out of the house and took a long walk. It helped get my mind off of food.< /span>

I'm having the same problem, not on very bad things but as the cook, I have been tasting. I think is more to see what I can tolerate. I have to stop testing my sleeve.

I graze but all good food bite of chicken, piece of cheese, piece of lunch meat, or egg. I eat 6 times a day but very little at a time

I also graze but on healthy food. For example at work I may nibble on my lunch for a couple of hours. Not sure if this is good but it seems to be working for me. I can only eat small amounts and hate the feeling of being full so I eat a, little at a time. cheese seems to be my favorite.

I too am starving. I never realized how addicted to food I am until it was taken away. Today am on day thirteen. Easter morning no candy from the baskets, no great and yummy Easter dinner, but it is so worth it. I am having surgery Tuesday by Dr.Kim in Dallas. I would hate to lose my hard earned money because I cheated. So it is normal to crave all the foods around us, but be strong it will be your turn soon.

OMG I've been grazing alot. If I see it I will eat it. When it's time to eat I need to eat or if I'm late, I will eat too much. I'm not sure if it's in my head or I'm hungry. Greeter! Frustrating

Just last night I realized the same thing! I justify my grazing by making good choices!!!

i think i graze more now than before the sleeve but i realized its attributed to my meal choices if i had meals rich in Protein i tend to graze less.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
