Comicbookguy 26 Posted September 15, 2015 food was once our hobby but now that is gone and we must find new ways to occupy our time and minds. So what if any hobbies do you currently have? It can be anything from arts and crafts to exercising. Anything you can think of. Share pictures if you like. My hobbies are collecting comics and vintage toys but the main thing I am focused on is my art. I draw, write, sculpt and even sew. Currently I am working on self publishing my own graphic novel.

_Kate_ 2,224 Posted September 15, 2015 food was never ever a hobby of mine! I love travelling and I am lucky to have at least a good couple of holidays a year. South of France in June this year and Cuba in November. Next year, the only one booked yet is a 3 week ride across Alberta and BC on a bike. Believe me I am NOT looking forward to being on a bike, Canada yes, bike ~ NO. I like to be with family and friends, read, swim, hike, do gardening. I don't have much time for anything else.

Buh Bye 63 Posted September 15, 2015 Good question! I've actually been thinking about this a lot. food was my companion, my comfort, etc.. .I'm 5 weeks post op and have been thinking it's time to add something. I have a guitar which I have tried to learn for the past 5 years. LOL! It hurts! Apparently, it becomes fun after a while. Something small & silly. .I was going to buy a puzzle and work on that. I guess those are my hobbies. One day I'll say "mountain biking with my son"!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

joatsaint 2,814 Posted September 15, 2015 The one thing that I've loved doing since surgery is answering questions on this forum. And making Youtube videos, trying to help those that are as nervous and unsure as I was pre-op. I tried my hand at blogging about my adventure, but my life got really boring and normal very quickly. So I ran out of stuff to blog about. :-( http://www.bariatricpal.com/blog/9018-gastric-sleeve-surgery-an-unexpected-journey So now I'm trying my hand at writing books. :-) Get my free eBook - The Top 10 WLS Fears and How to Kick Their Butt!

Cheri_j 117 Posted September 15, 2015 food was never a hobby for me. It was more comfort and protection. My hobbies include: Golf Traveling - golf vacations across the country Quilting Reading Listing to Audio books Since my surgery, I've added exercise as a hobby and also searching for healthy recipes and then preparing it. I guess I did make food a hobby now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IncredibleShrinkingMan 437 Posted September 15, 2015 Tennis and hiking. Why, you ask? Because they stuck with me even when I was over 300 lbs! Everything else I need to slowly become reattached to. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
