Looking for a distraction?



Recommended Posts

You know you are not physically hungry - you haven't long since had a meal or a snack; or maybe looking to emotionally eat. Nothing like a distraction that occupies the hands and mind.

You probably heard of wordle and perhaps already play it, there are some other word and number games that may help distract, some allowing more than one game a day. Some I like and some not so much (numbers/music game), thought I would share here for anyone else looking for a distraction.

My two favourite words to start of the word games are heart and pious, sometimes I use clean, cheat instead of heart, adieu is a good one as it covers most of the vowels.

Hope you enjoy the word games as much as I do. I have also added the number and music game plus the country game to the list. If I have missed anything you've been enjoying please add to the thread

I watch streamers on twitch play wordle sometimes. Never played it myself. I just play my nintendo switch or my PC games lol. My mom is addicted to games on her phone.

I play games too. Usually word games but sometimes sudoku, solitaire, or those mindless moving object games. I have Wordle but didn’t enjoy it. Maybe I need to persevere to get to higher stages or something.

I play games too. I play PC and Nintendo Switch games a lot, as well as puzzle games like Wordle and Sudoku and others. Games have actually become my new way of coping with stress and keeping me away from those comfort food cravings that used to have way too much control over me. Having the surgery right before getting into nursing school has been rough with the stress stuff. But, the mind is changing for sure! :)

Have you ever played Solitaire Mahjong? That's another game that is so fun and just relaxing.

Sudoku is another favourite of mine too. I don't do too well on the hard level though.

I usually play games when I'm bored. Sometimes it happens that a lot of problems fall on me and I just want to get away from them. Great help to solve all these problems with computer games that I often download on www.unlockedpiratebay.com/ Performing tasks invented by programmers, a person is distracted from the troubles that have fallen on him, and he rests physically and mentally.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
