Since I have started this journey I have realized that I am a bored eater. I eat when there is nothing to do. I am constantly checking my Facebook and coming on here to see if there are any new topics or updates to try to curb my mind off of food. I need a new hobby or activity. I can't walk to much because of my knee. I would go swimming more but I can't take the kids with me. Uggh! Does anyone else that's pre op feel the same way I do? The good thing is though since I have started to change my eating habits the food cravings and mind manipulation has went down dramatically. I now have some kind of control. Which is a good thing!!

I am exactly like that! I still get cravings when I'm bored. I don't think there's specific thing I do, to think about something else though. I do lots of clay modeling with the kids and take them outside the house often, just playing on the front yard. If you worry about overeating after surgery... stop- you will change your eating habits post op, trust me :)

Thanks for the advice! I recently started making tutus and hair bows. I just need to buy more supplies. I'm sure I will be doing a lot more of it in the future!

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      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.
