So I have to confess a purple peep has been sacrificed already. My husband bought me sugar free candy this year but I am limiting myself to 2 pieces a weeks. Anyone else struggling already with candy today.

Not allowing candy in my house. Besides candy makes me vomit and sugar free is to sweet. I have an 11 yr old and bought him a DS game instead. After work we are going to a movie and dinner. You will do fine today.

I am so addicted to sugar that it is so hard to avoid. Sugar is so evil. Lol ;)

I didn't buy my kids candy this year either. I don't want the temptation.

I'm buying some on sale. I've got 2 large bags of Mini eggs already, they've been hidden in my dishwasher (which I don't use) to minimize odds of me getting into them. I've only dipped in the bag once so far, and it's been two weeks!

I'm going to Purdy's (a chocolate place, like a step below Godiva) today to stock up on some fancy eggs they have. Seems like I have decent enough self control to keep things like that in the house now. I love my sleeve!

As far as Easter candy goes...NO YAYYYY! NOT ONE SINGLE EASTER CANDY WOW!!!! I didn't realize it until you mentioned it. Maybe it's because this is the first year I didn't buy my kids a basket :( ...they are 15 and nearly 20 LOL and yes I typically buy them one, but this year I was like nah...it guess worked out for me LOL!

No candy in my house this year. My boys are 14 & 16. Funny thing is my boys aren't really into sweets. Thankfully that is something I didn't pass down to them. Now post sleeve I realize I would be the one eating most of their candy. This is the first year I didn't buy candy for me put it in their baskets lol lol.

I filled eggs for the kids last night and only had a couple Starburst jellybeans. I don't have much of a sweet tooth anyway so it's not a big deal - I haven't been interested in any of the other candy.< /p>

lol....and I thought I was the only one who gave into temptation...lol. I bought a bag of those mini snack size kit kats....ohhhh so good. But i can only have a couple before my body gives me the all to clear sign of "that's enough" But overall, in comparison to last year, I think we all did pretty well.

I confess! I had two reese's eggs. I refuse to beat myself up about it though as I'm staying on track and continuing to lose.

Last year I polished off probably 3 packs of Reese eggs in a weekend, plus jelly Beans, cadbury minis, cadbury creme eggs. I refuse to feel guilty over a few pieces of candy. For me this surgery was a way to lose weight and still enjoy life. I also ran 3 miles and did a stair workout. (my hometown was pretty much knocked out of a mountain so there are stairs everywhere)

I’ve been feeling anxious about the amount of sugar and carbs that I eat yesterday. I had a chocolate bunny and 2 croissants! My eating was way off and all I can say is that I am thankful for this tool, because without it I would have done much more! Back on track today… now I just need to focus and keep off sugar and lower my carbs again.

I feel guilty when ever I eat any kind of carbs due to the fear of gaining weight. Now that Easter candy is just plain evil! LOL I was pretty good, I love the Cadbury mini chocolate eggs with the hard shell. So when I gave in and decided I'd buy some, K Mart didn't carry them! Thank Goodness, I didn't have any and I lost a couple of ozs of weight! Now this is reinforcing. I did eat somewhat unhealthy through out the weekend, so I could of lost some more weight. Hummmmm, time to up the exercise and eating Proteins, veggies, and drinking alot of Water with my Vitamin supplements. ;)

      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.
