Activities non food related
My VSG is scheduled for tomorrow and I've been some thinking about options for socialization that don't center around food. I never realized how everything I do revolves around food. "Lets go to dinner for lunch, dinner, drinks, desert". Anyone have any suggestions for re-orchestrating my social life? As always, Thanks
Start by getting a walking partner. From there, join a gym, or an exercise class. My church has Zumba classes twice a week. Join, or start, a knitting social. I go to one once a month. If you attend church, start attending a Bible study. I do all of these things, minus the Zumba. That's only list of things to do.
Hope this helps.
Hugs,
Trish

Seek always to do some good, somewhere. Every man has to seek in his own way to realize his true worth. You must give some time to your fellow man. For remember, you don't live in a world all your own. Your brothers are here too.

I know it is really hard to get around the "FOOD" activities as it just seems to be the norm these days!!
Walking, swimming, join a gym, spend time at the library. Volunteering is good. Visit at nursing homes.
Always remember "nothing tastes as good as thin feels"!! I always keep protein bars in my purse. When going out to eat order wisely. I always ask for a to go box when they serve my meal and immediately put the extra portions in it. If a dinner roll or bread stick is served I ask not to get one or give it to someone else right away.
I hope you find other things to do. It isn't always easy!

Congrats on your VSG. On to your new life. Take it slow and easy. Trish and Connie gave you great ideas. For me staying away from breads are key. The fewer carbs I take in the less I want to eat unhealthy choices. Keep your protein and water (good fluid) intake up. That helps me also. Hope this helps. Let us know how your journey is going. Mag
I've been a big carb lover in the past so that will something to factor in in the future. Take care and thanks again.Most Active
