Grazing is the DEVIL!



Recommended Posts

Its true what they say, grazing will undermine everything.

This was my first Christmas since VSG this past spring.

With so much bad stuff in the house - Christmas Cookies, chocolate, and other holiday goodies ... I found myself snacking throughout the day and night (something I had not done since VSG).

After consistently losing 2-3 lbs a week since surgery, I actually gained 1 lb the week before and though Christmas.

Went on a trip right after Christmas to FL. While I was eating out all meals, I didn't eat anything in between.

Just got home AND ... lost the pound I had gained and 2 more. My body picked right up where it left off.

Conclusion: Grazing is the DEVIL!

I absolutely agree with you and learned the same thing myself. I've been off work since the 23rd, and we made treats to give out as gifts. We also hosted Christmas Eve so there were lots of goodies around the house. I was able to eat healthy meals but the grazing and snacking basically stopped my weight loss for over a week.

I went through the house yesterday and threw away anything that was left that was snack food. I'm sure I'll get back on plan, it was just surprising how easy it was to get off track!

Over the holidays, I've been trying to make myself sip on a bottle of Water anytime I am tempted to snack at parties and stuff. Then I have to wait at least a half hour after I finish to eat something and often the urge has passed by the time I can eat.

I had the same problem! Holidays are hard. I am starting the new year back to the basics. Lots of Protein and veggies and no carbs and sugar! It is nice knowing that once I get back to eating correctly that the weight will start coming off again!

      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?
