Boredom is my enemy



Recommended Posts

My job has its ups and downs. Right before the 1st and the 15th of every month, our office is a madhouse of activity and it's all I can do to keep afloat. But in the intervening periods there are always a few days of absolute, deadly BOREDOM.

So what do I do? Nibble. I just nibbled my way through the entire middle of my ham-and-brie sandwich, PLUS half of the french-bread roll!! It's easy to eat if you nibble.

COME ON, PHONE, RING!!! Save me from myself!!

What do you do when there's nothing to do and you're trapped?

I know what you mean about boredom, that was a biggy for me too. How about cleaning out your desk or something like that to pass the time by? I am still young in this journey but I didn't realize you would be able to eat sandwiches, let alone french rolls? I am dying for bread!! I didn't think it would be a possibility anymore after the banding, does it go down okay?

Misty, normally I wouldn't have eaten the bread for lunch; I almost never take more than a bite of it. But when it's possible to sit for an hour and nibble, sure, bread can go down. :rolleyes The bread in question was a very dark multi-grain baguette type of bread, so it took a lot of chewing in the first place. And with all this empty time to fill it was too tempting!

Hell, it isn't that I have nothing to do; there's ALWAYS something to do. But it's too darned quiet. I'm a multi-tasker and cleaning out my desk is NOT an option! ;):):D

I always come on here and post, balace my checkbook, browse on the computer, pay bills, or find a book to glance through. Although usually there isn't any spare time for me! Sometimes I make out a grocery list so that I have something in my hand at the store.

I have a very boring job, so I find myself often on LBT posting meaningless dribble, LOL! I am also researching everything I can about home building. And, I am an avid gardner so I am ALL OVER Gardenweb. If there is one thing I do really well, it's research on the internet. Gosh, one of these days I'll probably get reprimanded for constantly being on-line, but who cares, LOL!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
