Any Easter Bunnies Cheating?



Recommended Posts

I've been doing terribly! I bought a couple bags of milk chocolate eggs for my kids baskets, and opened one and ate some every day the week leading up to Easter. Should never have bought them!!! My kids aren't even eating them. What was I thinking???? Note to self for next year - kids will be happier with a basket full of crabby patties and I will be happier having no temptation b/c those things are disgusting!! ;) Needsless to say, no weight lost the past two weeks!

Yes I indulged in 3 pieces (small hershey's kisses) of chocolate and a another good handful (all of this was spread out over the holiday weekend) of jelly Beans and malted milk eggs. If I am comparing Halloween (the month I was sleeved) to Easter (6 months post-op) then YES... I did STELLAR back in Oct. when nary a single piece of candy crossed my lips for the entire MONTH!

I totally agree with the philosophy that this is for life and not a "diet" and sometimes you need to indulge. I truly am better off with NOT eating junk/sugar/carbs because usually when I START I want MORE. But this weekend, over the course of 2 days (Fri & Sat.) I enjoyed the candy that I listed above. And when I was tempted to reach my hand back into that bowl for more, I told myself NO. "You had your fun it's time to move on."

We actually celebrated on Sat. due to family being in town and having to leave on Sun. so by Sun I was back to my normal routine that does NOT include SUGAR. So I'm counting this a victory because I really COULD have eaten more junk, but I had my fun and enjoyed it and I'm back to my regular plan.

I had some little chocolate eggs my mom brought to dinner. 2 of them, and I have two more plus a cadburry egg in my junk food drawer. I may eat them, or give them to my hubby. I did not feel like they were CRACK, like I used to... just a nice flavor... I didn't feel desperate to have more right after. I went to dinner at Sizzler... I don't eat meat, so I had the salad bar... some cottage cheese, fresh pineapple, a few pieces of spinich with chopped egg and the BIG indulgence, blue cheese dressing. I have to say I could hardly make a dent in it... I watched my family eat what appeared to be gallon plates of food piles.... like I used to.... How in the heck did I do that before? For desert, I had three broken pieces of oreo Cookies from the ice cream sundae fixings table.... that was it. I must say I felt a little green afterwards... I think it might have been the salad dressing... or maybe the chocolate eggs... but I got away pretty well all in all....gained .8 lb... prob from the salt.

I had a good 2 hanfuls of peanut m&m's, but i paid for it dearly, I posted it on another thread called "Do not do what I did" Today in the UK is still holiday, Easter monday, we were invited to a BBQ, i was fine, just a beef burguer and some salad, but I did have a tiny portion of chocolate cake and I was OK. I don't think of it as cheating, but from tommorrow I will detox and go low on the carbs!

I did have a few of my kids small chocolate eggs and one Dove Peanut Butter and chocolate egg. It was okay. But, I wasn't all in heaven or anything! This morning I took a bunch of excess candy to work to put in the break room!!! I only feel slightly guilty about fattening up my co-workers!

      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.
