Oh Halloween Candy I hear your siren call



Recommended Posts

Yep, it's finally in the house, but still in sealed bags. I hear it "Lyyyynnnnddddaaa eeeaaaat meeeeee" but I will not fall off the wagon. I'm still 5 lbs 9 ounces over goal and I'm allowing myself ONE day of candy, popcorn, cocktails, and chili. Tomorrow. My size six jeans thank me.

Thank you BP for being here for me, through thick and thin, and here's hoping there's never thick again in my future.

I have already enjoyed a carmel apple cider (sugar free cider mix with a splash of SF caramel syrup), apple slices with PB2, and a graham cracker after dinner. Yes, that's enough. But I might have a pumpkin Cream (Soy milk with a splash of SF pumpkin Pie syrup) before bed.

Vets, I salute you as we march through another holiday season. This year, as last year, my Christmas present to myself will be to arrive at New Years at goal.

I love this post unfortunately I'm in Singapore and there are next to none of those fantastic S/F flavourings here. I take a day trip to KL as often as I can to get the Syntrax nectar other than that the basic chocolate or vanilla Protein powder. Not a lot going on here with Bariatric surgery and those that are doing it charge crazy prices. So we had to go home to have our surgery over 12 months ago. I get jealous when ever I read about some of the great products you guys can get so readily. Good Luck sounds like you had a plan and stuck to it.

      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.
