Halloween Candy Is Talking To Me Again



Recommended Posts

I feel bad habits creeping back into my world! (late night eating, mindless eating, overeating sugar etc)

With all this candy around, it's hard to focus and on my goals. My kids would kill me if I got rid of the candy (and I don't want to deprive them so that they go crazy later on in life like I did) so I try to remove myself from it. Somehow, when I get back home at night, it is right there again, talking to me....

I am 8 mo post op and have a hard time getting a nice piece of fish down (I gag and get sick afterward) but carbs and sugar go down nicely. I've hit my goal however would like to lose another 5-10lbs for the "just in case I gain some" factor.

Anyone have any great ideas?

Have them remove it from your site - maybe take it to their room.

First, you have very disciplined kids! Mine came home with only wrappers. But, that's what happens when teenaged boys go trick or treating.

Second, have your kids hide their candy. Step out on the front porch while they hide it so you can't see or hear a general location.

At our school they can donate it to the military - have them pick out a few of their favorites and ship it all off overseas...

just a recommendation -

Our dentist will buy it back for $1/lb up to $10 but they quickly decided that wasn't worth it for them. Thanks for the ideas.

That's cool! I've never heard of that. What a neat idea!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
