What do you do now instead of eating



Recommended Posts

What do you do when your friends want to hang out, or while your at home on a lazy day?

While your watching tv?

The more I think about things, the more I realize how much I incorporate food into almost every activity...so how do you feel the void?

Actually I'm struggling. I am trying to control the picking at night. I keep my phone in my hands a lot. It's so scary how much I ate/ picked at food. I'm thinking about taking up knitting to keep my hands busy.

I havent gone out with friends. I dont really have any. Ive been secluded for the past several years. I havent come up.with much of a replacement but if I had to pick I would say couponing. Clipping organizing,and planning shopping trips

I've started crocheting. In the 4 weeks since surgery I made 2 hats, 2 scarves, 2 head bands and now I'm working on a totebag! Gotta love YouTube for tutorials!

It's the hardest part because you are right ... So much of our lives revolved around food. I am not much of a tv watcher... So I just always have a water bottle to sip on. I too carry my phone with me like heather... I have the etsy and Pinterist rnytalk apps which are my go-to s.... I wish there was a pill to take with our Vitamins to take our minds off food... Lol!!!

While your watching tv? I simply watch tv or sometimes I have Quaker cheddar rice cake stuff. Mini pop corn but I don't have to.

I feel fine. I don't feel food controls my life. I used to eat a lot like 2 plates fill like a mountain of home cook meals. My problem wasn't eating it was the amount in one setting. I didn't spend my whole day eating or watching tv eating chips.

      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?
