Gastric Bypass Surgery Support Group
Gastric bypass (GBP) is any of a group of similar operative procedures used to treat morbid obesity, a condition which arises from severe accumulation of excess weight in the form of fatty tissue, and the health problems ("co-morbidities") which result. If you are considering gastric bypass or have had it, join the community where we share our experiences and find support.
I was feeling very in control and disciplined before I got back to work. I'm 3 days back and I think about food a lot! At first I went to meals or snacks every 3 hours. Now that seems like too much. I'm back to 4 hours. I'm hoping this goes away.
Might it help to look at your emotions around snack times? Are you "hungry" due to stress or boredom? I find I snack more at work than at home too, typically reacting to one of those. I snack every morning, but I've learned to keep protein snacks in my desk: cans of tuna, ham, chicken breast meat, cheese sticks, almonds, things like that. It keeps me away from the vending machines with chips, candy, etc.
You've come a long way, keep up the good work.
