Happy Easter, how did you do with food and candy???



Recommended Posts

I think I did well. I had a party yesterday and the only bad thing I ate was some chips. My friends and I are all trying to lose weight so we tried to keep it as healthy as we could. Easter (today) I had only 1 hurshey's kiss, 1, small bunny that comes in the bunny money mix, and a mini cadbery egg. I didn't know that they came that small, I was excited, LOL. I had ham, mashed potatoes, that I only ate 2 bites of, corn and 2 home made perogies, for dinner. For Breakfast, I had 3 small pieces of keilbase (I spelled that so wrong), 2 small pieces of ham, and 2 cinimon Buns. Later on after dinner when people were eating pie, I had taco dip. It is low in carbs, lol.

All in all, I would have to say that I am proud of myself. I didn't finish my dinner and I only took small portions at breakfast so I wouldn't throw anything away, that drives my FIL nuts, LOL. I did great in the candy department because I could easily put away a ton of chocolate, and I stayed away from desert :biggrin1: .

How did everyone else do???

I did "ok". I ate some crackers w/brie. Potato's. I fell down with dessert... I ate a piece of cake with pineapple, sf vanilla and coolwhip.

The important thing is I didn't eat any candy! That was a major NSV ....

We'll see tomorrow when I get on the scale..

I had one cadbury egg. I resoned that it melted in my mouth so it wouldn't hurt my newly placed band, and I'm taking in so few calories anyway on liquids, soo......

I was bad :) but it was so good

Today, I was good...a little ham, no potatoes, and no candy or dessert. But Thursday and Friday, while I was stuffing the eggs for the kids' Easter egg hunt, I ate probably a (total) cupful of M&Ms.

I am on a soft diet so I had a little macaroni and cheese, soft vegies and some frozen yogurt for dessert. I make a cheese cake to die for but resisted the temptation to "dive in." LOL.

9 jellybeans. They were sour, I couldn't resist. :) No other candy - never been much of a sweets person.

We did easter yesterday. My mom's side of the family is Greek so we eat a little differently than most when we get together. dinner was homemade gyros (I made it, so I know only fresh/unprocessed meats & good things were in it), 2 thin slices. Homemade hummus with feta on a whole grain Wasa cracker. Marinated, grilled leg of lamb. Desert was a few slices of fruit. My "downfall" was the fat-free covered mini-pretzels, although normally I could eat a whole bowl, and this year I had about 8 yesterday and about 6 today. Lots of Decaf sun tea and Water.

I did very good thanks to a fill about 2 weeks ago (I had no choice) so I contented myself with giving the goodies to my mom who loves those black jellybeans and a few other grown people who loves candy as well.

It's always a joy to see others who enjoy it so much.

My problem will start today. We don't Celebrate holidays, so yesterday was easy. But all that unsold candy will be on clearance at the stores starting today...half-price Cadbury eggs are a REAL temptation!

I didn't eat any candy! Yay me! It was everywhere ay my Aunt's. Not to mention I watched her stand there & eat 1/2 a pecan pie while she was talking to everyone. She just kept nibbling. And she stays small. She's ADHD. She eats like crap.At my Grandms's I had a plate of food that took me 2 hours to finish. I had a piece of pork loin that was baked, a small spoon full (ssf) of chicken & dressing, a (ssf) of corn, a (ssf) of green Beans, a (ssf) of asparagus & cheese & a (ssf) of lime Jello salad. I wouldn't have eaten itall, but Grandma had worked hard cooking everything & I was the only one who showed up for dinner. She was so upset. You should see the leftovers she sent home with me! Good grief! Thank goodness Lonnie is back home!

I did really good, but only because I am on the liquid pre-op diet right now. But WOW was that Protein shake yummy! NOT!

Bad timing by having surgery so soon after a food related holiday... It was really hard to not indulge just one piece of the kid's candy! I swear that a chocolate bunny was calling my name all day just to torment me!!!

      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.
