How Difficult Is The Diet, For Gastric Sleeve Surgery, To Stick To?

A MyObesityTeam Member asked a question 💭
Ava, MO

Ive researched the surgery quite extensively and the diet is extremely minimal. Which i understand. However i love food. The textures. The smell. And of course the taste. Im scared that i would not be able to stick with such a minimal diet for a year. Pluss once the weight is lost how does one not regain the weight once a regular diet is reintroduced? I dont know anyone personaly whoes had this done. Im afraid its the only option i have left.

What Can I Do To Overcome Eating Out Of Boredom?

A MyObesityTeam Member asked a question 💭
Sunrise, FL

I am an emotional eater. It's part of the way I was raised, and whenever I feel happy or sad, I seem to turn to food. Sometimes I feel the need to eat when I'm bored. I can have just finished a meal and then 15 minutes later, I'll feel the need to eat more.

I'm trying to lose the weight and hate feeling the strong desire/craving for food. I don't even care what I eat, lettuce or pasta, I just feel the need to be constantly eating. It's not a craving for any specific food... I've been trying to… read more
