Do you ever feel like you struggle with food? I’m 15 months post-op from gastric bypass surgery and I know I still struggle with food. Do you ever say one bite one hurt? Does that one bite turn into two, three or four throughout the day?
Do you find yourself constantly thinking about when you will get to have the next bite of that certain food? Think about it for a minute. Does anything come to mind? If there is a food that you have these feelings about it’s probably a “trigger” food for you. These foods can become detrimental to those of us who had weight loss surgery. If we aren’t careful this can lead to binge eating and bad old habits.
A trigger food can cause us to over indulge and become sick. Learning to identify and avoid your trigger foods. Try journaling about your food intake and see if there is a trigger food in your diet. Do some positive self talk! Remind yourself what originally contributed to our obesity problem and then say I have a choice today. I will not suffer and go back to the old way of eating.
Have you been to a Clarian Bariatrics support group lately? If not, we would love to see you!
