Mayme78 11 Posted June 19, 2012 So.... I woke up this morning..... got a good night's sleep, packed a protein-laden Breakfast of cottage cheese with peaches, recommitted myself to Water and exercise today, congratulated myself on my 49# weight loss, went to work, said a few mantras in my head about being the best employee ever...and then.... DONUTS. My cheerful beautiful, sweet, sabotaging co-worker comes in singing " good morning, I brought in donuts". Arggh! My absolute favorite sweet indulgence! Lord, help me be strong because I don't want donuts, but I want donuts! LOL!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2muchfun 8,927 Posted June 19, 2012 Just remember, one donut is the path to 2-4 donuts and a lost day or two in your Quest. tmf Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Toddy 758 Posted June 19, 2012 A weakness of mine, too. I'm glad I don't have co-workers! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yellowrose88 43 Posted June 19, 2012 Stay strong and clear of the donuts! Someone is always bringing items to work and I just stay clear of out kitchen area all together. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim1967 3,569 Posted June 19, 2012 I would be afraid they would get stuck but I have thought of them. Much in the way of hamburger rolls, Bagels. I just avoid them and convinced myself they will get stuck and not worth the pain. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jen_1381 446 Posted June 19, 2012 I just keep reminding myself that I only need to give my body what it needs, not what my brain thinks it needs. Protein, Veggies, fruit. The day I transitioned into soft foods (last week), it was one of the physician in my office's bday, and they had the most delicious looking cake, as well as pizza and chips. I had to tell myself before I went in the breakroom that I didn't NEED it, and also secretly kind of felt sorry for the people pigging out, knowing they would have to work extra hard to keep from gaining from all those calories!!

2muchfun 8,927 Posted June 19, 2012 Two weeks ago I went to a cooking school class. Someone spent $550(normally $1200 but this was a charity auction) bucks on this class and invited 10 of us to go and make our own salads, main course and then for dessert we made donuts. We made our own dough. Rolled and cut it into forms. Then we made this exotic glaze. We then made this blackberry jam with about 4 cups of sugar in it. It was incredible. I ate 4 of them. I gained 4 lbs that night. It was mostly Water weight and I lost it all in 3 days but I try to steer clear of events and people who might tempt me now. tmf Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jim1967 3,569 Posted June 22, 2012 Oh man in the 5 yrs ive been banded i had 1 half if a donut NEVER AGAIN! I got so stuck and couldnt get it unlodged and heaved and puked for 3 hours def in the top 5 worst stuck episodes for me That's exactly why I stay away from donuts, hamburger rolls, hot dog rolls, bulkie rolls, sub rolls. Large soft bread just looks like a stuck session waiting to happen. I have had wheat and white usually toasted and that is fine. Pita is about the only bread I have tried without toasting it first and it went down fine but it took 30 minutes to eat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
