Water, water, water. Keep drinking it. IF you are full from water you won't snack. (well, it helps me at least)

I hear ya! I only have a 4 minute drive to work... and yet I'd STILL rather work from home! lol...

Now that my office is "going paperless" I'm hoping to talk them into letting me work from home a few days a week. :)

This works for me: sugar-free hard candy. I love life savers and Brach's butterscotch. There is just something about having that in my mouth that takes away the hungry.

Where I work, I sit at a desk all day and find myself snacking when bored. To which at home I do not. Its weird, anyways usually I keep cheeses in the fridge at work and also some crackers to go with. This helps me ease that snacking behavior and then I drink a lot of Water. Problem with my office they LOVE their animal crackers, Peanut Butter filled crackers, and candy. I have fallen victim many times to snacking on the "free" food here. It's hard, I get it. I wouldn't get too mad at yourself days like this happen. I snacked on some pickles and cheese a few minutes ago to get rid of that snacking craving I had. I eat pickles on occasion because I reduced salt in my diet. To which I hate a lot of salt on food now.Anyways, Good luck and don't get too frustrated.

I will put a sugar free mint in my mouth...has the same effect as just brushing your teeth. Everything tastes yucky after you do that! This trick I learned when I was dieting and I would bake for the holidays...I would put a sugar free cough drop in my mouth. Again, you wont want to eat or even taste anything for a while....yuck.

Good luck!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
