its that time of year again. ghosts and goblins, and candy junkies

my neighborhood has plenty of kids - i have to buy lots of candy

i searched high and low but................i finally found some candy i don't like. i bought these big bags of "smarties" and special type of lollipops. i am "safe" cuz i don't like them!!!

i was wondering around the section of candies at Walmart - baby ruths, milk duds, clark bars, reeses Peanut Butter cups, snickers, tootsie pops, tootsie rolls kit kats, mounds, m&m's, mars bars, rollo's, hershey bars, and who can forget BUTTERFINGERS, (I know i can't!!)

OH NO, all this candy talk

i think i'm having an orgasm!!! :wub:

Oh yesterday at work the ladies had 4 different boxes of chocolate and candy on the back counter. It was torture! I was doing great at home because I didn't have all these temptations! Oh well we will make it :ph34r:

I did the same thing. I bought candy I don't like that way I won't be tempted. I like all the chocolatey, peanut buttery crap. I bought fruity stuff to hand out, kids aren't picky.

I'm with you Ms. Skinniness. My number one strategy is to not have stuff in the house. So I will buy the candy the day before Halloween and do my best to make sure the candy bowl is nearly empty at the end of the evening.

I am at goal, so I do intend to enjoy some candy on Halloween. But not all day for weeks before and weeks after like I did pre-op.

      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.
