Boo! have a spice tea. HEY, It just dawned on me, I have no craving for sugar at all. Me, the jelly belly, or, spice drop queen. wow, amazing, not even chocolate! Just wow.

I can not believe it, no candy corn, no mini snickers or hersheys. Does this last?

We went to the bank yesterday and they gave us candy - 2 candy bars (mini-size) - Bearded ate the Hershey and I took the crunch - omg - it was so sickening sweet I thought I was going to gag -- I took Water and swished it around and around in my mouth to get the taste out -- I told Bearded -- DON'T EVER LET ME DO THAT AGAIN! I'm almost 5 months out and I still can't stand anything sweet -- I hope it lasts a lifetime!

Oh my gosh,

We bought candy today for the trick or treaters and the smell of the Snickers and Twix bars was soooo overwhelming. I know I have a keen sense of smell since surgery but I could literally smell it before I opened the large package that the mini candies were in! Gosh, it smelled so good, what I would do for just a bite of the candy....But I resisted and I will continue to resis (at least this Halloween) he he!:help:

We must have bought the same bag of candy Shanda (well, not the SAME bag, but you know what I mean!) I gave in and took a Twix bar - I didn't even enjoy it so wasn't the least bit tempted to have another ... now Bearded on the other hand .......

I decided to not buy candy this year (maybe ever again) for haloween...instead I found cute little boxes of stickers in haloween colors. I rarely have any trickortreeters on my street, so usually ended up eating the entire bag of what ever I bought myself! Yikes. (not all in one sitting at least!). But this year, I'll be taking the left over stickers to work for the peds patients.

That's an AWESOME idea Cajun - I think I will look for something like that next year - all kids like stickers and they get so much candy it'll be a nice change -- thanks for putting that out there!

      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.
