...So, when does the fun start?

Well, I'm 5 weeks post-op, it's Friday night...and I'm sitting with nothing to do...AGAIN! I've lost about 50 pounds since the surgery and am feeling great. Prior to surgery, when I sat at home alone every night like this, it leads to me eating alot. Anyone got any good advice/tips to get me through these lonely times I'm beginning to feel?

Ok, I'm showing my inner-geek, but when you have nothing left to do, playing World of Warcraft is a great distraction for weekends. It will suck you in for hours at a time and you won't even think about food; plus it gives you human interaction, even if it's over the internet. There's a reason people get hooked on it.

eating out of boredom/lonliness is a sign of depression -- both before and immediately after surgery I was extremely depressed first because of how overweight i was and then because of all the changes my body and mind were going through. You have to try to work through it -- try exercising thats my new addiction -- i salsa dance 4x weekly and go to the gym when i dont dance. Try to stay AWAY from the kitchen and drink lots to distract yourself. good luck sweety
