M2G 1,836 Posted October 29, 2010 Okay, today is Oct. 29th, and it just hit me. I have not had a single piece of candy this Oct. I knew I would be having VSG surgery in Oct, and didn't want to buy any Halloween candy early on. Then I had surgery on Oct. 22, and of course now I CAN'T eat any candy but heck I am realizing what a victory going 22 days in Oct. without a single piece of candy is! Awesome!!! I did have to go and buy some for this weekend, but it is hidden (for now) out of sight out of mind. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
*susan* 1,709 Posted October 30, 2010 That is great, I know this time of year can be very tough for many of us. But, if we do everything in moderation, we can succeed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fleur de lis 2 Posted October 31, 2010 I'm 4 weeks out and I won't lie, I am struggling with the no candy. My sweet tooth is not gone and every time I go to the store, I want to grab an assorted bag of candy. I haven't done it but it's REEEEEALLY hard. Sigh.

mysparky 1 Posted October 31, 2010 I'm just 6 days out and I'm so thankful that I physically cannot eat candy right now. I also have an intense sweet tooth and the pounds of candy that my kids bring home normally means additional pounds on me. Hoping that next year, when I can actually eat it, moderation will be on my side! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jordien 30 Posted November 1, 2010 I'm 6 weeks out tomorrow, so I am def. experimenting with new foods and able to handle things better now. I admit I have dipped into what the kids came home with, but I think I've done well with just picking one or two of the things I love the most, and the rest is just there. I physically just cannot eat A LOT, so even if I feel like I've slipped and eaten something not so healthy.. I still think I am better off than before. I KNOW I am. Good job everyone! All in moderation, yes! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GayleSBennett 0 Posted November 1, 2010 I had had 3 pieces of bite size candy over the past two weeks. Snickers made me higher than a kite. KitKat tasted good and seemed to calm my sweet tooth. Then tonight (Halloween) I had an Almond Joy. The coconut did not sit well in my stomach at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SouthernSleever 228 Posted November 1, 2010 I've had 6 little candies between trick or treating yesterday and today. I so wanted one of the fun size candy bars but I resisted. I'm sending the rest of it to work with hubby tomorrow. GET IT OUT OF HERE! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
