It could be worse, right? Before my band I would've eaten a whole bag a day. I think, as long as it doesn't get out of control, a special treat now and then is ok. But if you can't control yourself throw it away, I can't have anything in my house or I eat it. So I don't allow it in...my poor husband. LOL!!

Love it. But not more than Cookies. Horrible, processed, full of trans fats and artificial ingredients supermarket Cookies. We have a brand here called Scotch Finger, kind of a shortbread sort of thing. Dipped in coffee. Morning, noon, night. Six or seven of them at a time (almost 100 calories each). Anytime is the right time for a coffee and a bikkie. Sigh.

Its just a blanket ban for me. I will never be able to eat cookies one or two a day. If I'm going to have them, I've accepted I'm in for a major calorie blow out and planned accordingly around it.

I also love chocolate, I eat it too! I have decided that because I am worth it I will only eat the good stuff!! I buy a bar from Lindt. I allow myself 1 square, let me tell you I savor it.

I have no problem with this as long as I log what I eat in myfitnesspal.

I agree with the person who said I used to eat most of the bar and look for more! thank God for this band, it always make me think....

Between the Kids' Birthdays and valentine's day there has been a surplus of chocolate in the house. Now it is all gone, cuz I ate it!!! But, now I am going to get back on track. I haven't had a fill yet, and I am trying to do this on my own and it is hard. Hopefully I will be getting a fill next month, in the mean time there won't be anymore chocolate in the house!!!!

Life is TOO short to NOT enjoy chocolate! I log my food intake, so I am accoutable for the calories. Takes the guilt away!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
