Crisis times of the day...



Recommended Posts

I am 54 days post op. I am coming up to my second fill in 3 days...

I am great at home. I eat reasonably well, and I also eat a gluten and lactose free diet.

BUT

I work as a nanny every weekday from 3pm - 6pm and those few hours are :w00t::angry::smile::thumbdown:TERRIBLE:thumbdown::scared2::angry::lol:

TODAY i ate a king sized Kit Kat BAR, a banana muffin and maybe 20 salty crackers with spread and butter!

WHY I DO NOT KNOW?????????

I ate wayyyyyyy tooo much before I left home (naughty foods at well) but i thought nothing could be worse than what i eat at work..

so I have over eaten TWICE today. BECAUSE I CANNOT CONTROL MY EATING WHEN I AM AT WORK!!

is it because I am lonely? stressed? anxious? shy? I HAVE NOOO IDEA BUT...

I NEED HELP

WHY IS THIS HAPPENING? WHY CAN'T I DEAL WITH IT? HOW DO I DO BEHAVIOUR CHANGES? I AM AT A LOW. AND A LOSS :crying:

I JUST NEED FREEDOM - FREEDOM FROM THE OLD ME.

It is most likely happening because of some emotion or nervousness while at work. In my opinion (mine only) I would think you may want to get some snack size bags and put some good things in it to go to when you get that craving. Are you allowed to put something in their fridge? If so, get some raw veggies and a little ranch dip or something like that to grab when you get the munchies. You can also put just a few cashews in a snack size back or a little fruit. Also, you may want to invest in some Protein Bars. I love the Atkins. Just be careful. You still have to count the calories and I only eat one when I get desparate and nothing else will do but it is better than the Kit Kat for sure. It is best obviously not to snack but if you have something available that is good for you at least you won't turn to the wrong things. You may want to seek the advice of a counselor or nutritionist as well. They may be able to help your head hunger.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        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!
