Having been able to buy size 4 clothes made it a lot easier to pass them by without even a second thought. Even bought my niece pretzel wetzels and was okay with the smell in my car. Lol!!

Good for you. I haven't been to the mall once since surgery (I am 11 weeks out) because of pretzel bites and macadamia nut Cookies...I don't think I have the control yet.

Good job! Congrats on a size 4 - that's tiny! I want to be a 14!

I can't wait to get to that place, mentally. For some reason my family decided to

I wish I felt this way. I was at the mall last night and almost wanted to throw a tantrum in front of Cinnabon. Okay, not quite. But I was close. I'm happy with where I'm at, but some food is soooo appealing. Sometimes I have to work really hard at this. Btw- I didn't get a Cinnabon. ;)

Do you still have the occasional treat?? (maybe Cinnabon isn't worth the cals) but do you not have anything that satisfies the 2 year old tantrum in you?

Oh- also.... Way to be strong!!! haha

Sadly having an occasional treat turned into a nightly thing. I kept my cals low and didn't gain but I was making poor food choices. I think it has a lot to do with the fact that i run consistently. So, it's back to the drawing board. I found that right now I needed to "detox" from sugar and processed foods. I have a sweet and salty tooth like no other! It's scary. Right now I'm satisfying my sweet tooth with oranges and smoothies. I will keep fighting the fight! Lol!

I'm jealous! I'm 3 1/2 months out and have had more stalls then I care to mention. I don't really have a weakness for any junk food but I am not sure if I'm eating the right amounts. I'm not complaining though. I'm down from a size 22 to a 14 already!!!

I was at the mall today and oh my Annie Anne's pretzels looked so good....but I knew if I even got one I could only take two bites and be full, so I passed by all the yummy food too!

I still have occasional treats like 4-5 almond m&ms instead of half the bag or some sherbet instead of a pint of icecream. It satisfies my sweet tooth. Congrats on your self control :)

Congrats! I have bouts of self control and then my poor habits start to rear their ugly head. I am trying to detox myself. I am down btwn a 4/6. I probably would have a Cinnabon bite or something.

      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.
