A nibble here and a nibble there...



Recommended Posts

Help!!! I can not stop nibbling and grazing. Surgery was in October and I have done well. The only problem is this past month I can not stop putting food in my mouth. This is driving me nuts. I eat crackers, fruit, Protein Bars, goldfish, anything and almost everything.

I have stayed away from candy, cakes and any other tasty candy type things.

I really can not tell if I am hungry or just want to eat because of what other reasons.

Any suggestions!?!? Do I need more fluids, more Protein, more activity, adjust Vitamins?

I don't want the old me back so please help.

Just my humble suggestion: Cut back on your carb intake, stay away from foods with a high GI, and try to fill up on foods with Protein in them. Are you mistaking head hunger for real hunger?

I don't know about you but I have always been carb sensitive. If I eat simple carbs it triggers cravings for more carbs. The more I eat the more I want. It's good advice to eat less carbs, more Protein. When you do eat carbs make sure it's healthier ones with whole grains, high Fiber, some protein, little or no sugar. My doc says nothing made w/white flour or enriched wheat flour (if it's enriched it means it might as well be white). Also no white potato (sweet potato is better), no white bread, no white Pasta (wheat is good), and no white rice. I can't eat white rice or any product that has rice flour anyway. My doctor said nothing white has any real health benefit. :-)

      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.

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