I was weak, ate Halloween candy. Luckily, Sleevette came to the rescue and I'm still under 1000 calories for the day. It's almost 9 and I'm eyeing the turkey meatballs in the freezer...I think that's a good sign.

I'm on day 2 of my pre-op diet.

My husband and son went out late this afternoon to buy the candy and I haven't seen it. I don't know where it is. I don't want to know where it is. I told them there should be no candy in the house after this evening...dispose of every last little Butterfinger (my personal favorite).

Instead for my meal tonight, I will have a fillet and some green Beans. And I will dream of the Butterfinger.

McButterPants, when you get to the point of making your own Protein shakes, I found a great recipe for a Butterfinger flavored Protein shake. It's a little spendy in terms of calories and carbs so I only make it once a week, and budget carefully in terms of calories and carbs that day, but it's so good!

1 c. Hood Calorie Countdown nonfat milk

1 scoop unjury chocolate splendor Protein powder (or similar)

2 T. PB2 with chocolate

1 T. sugarfree, fat free instant butterscotch pudding mix

Blend & enjoy!

Numbers: 205 calories, 30 g. Protein, 20 g. carbs, 1 g. fat, 2 g. Fiber.

I read an interesting article from a trainer... It was titled PERSPECTIVE. She once had an eating disorder and goes on to say how workouts should not be used as a punishment for the foods we have eaten, and we shouldn't feel guilty about the food we eat. This is a different perspective but one that rings quite true. We have after all punished ourselves for years over the foods we have eaten and where did it get us? This is my food for thought today.

Ok I don't care! Because I must shout it from the roof tops!

I ATE NO candy LAST NIGHT!!

None not even when left alone with it after everyone went to bed. It wasn't even a struggle.

I am VERY proud of myself :D

I am a secret binger so this is a major victory!

      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?
