Can we talk about Halloween candy?



Recommended Posts

For those of you with kids ... How do we deal with the huge amounts of candy? I haven't had a piece since surgery or any dessert for that matter but it hasn't been in the house either! I wish I could skip the entire night except I kind of love everything else.

We're going to get the usual treats and I'm going to make sure they all are given out.

The last bags will be sugar-free chewing gum so just in case it gets leftover.......

What about the candy collected by your kids?

Oh crap! I just realized I will be on my pre-op liquid diet on Halloween. My kids will be happy I'm not raiding their stash.

We don't get many kids at my place, so not worried. The hard part is all the Halloween candy at the office! I walk a mile out of the way to avoid it!

My kids are grown, but we decided to give out the crappiest candy we could think of to give out. There's a bag that has Tootsie rolls and pops, along with some other "meh" candy. I figured if I broke down and had a Tootsie Pop, no harm :)

There will be no Snickers or Kit Kat's in my home, dammit!

We don't have enough trick or treaters to bother with candy. Lights we'll be off at our house. My kids don't trick or treat.

That being said, I have bought candy for the house and I have eaten a piece or two. For me learning to coexist around sweets is as important as avoiding them.

I've been thinking about this dilemma four about a month now. Before surgery I would buy tons of our favorite snack sized candy and eat them all month long. I just want to buy suckers and other candy I don't care for and won't be tempted to eat. My daughter was not happy about this plan and tried some emotional blackmail to get me to purchase some twix and snickers lol. The jury is still out but whatever I do buy will be purchased right before Halloween and leave my sight once the door closes for the night.

Just today I bought sugar free weathers, mints and lemon candy for my office at work. Not even going to bother with it in my house. I'm going to a wedding on Halloween. I'm pre op. I don't have kids but my friends do so I'm sure something will come of that lol.

Be strong!

I love candy! Im staying away. Im only 3 weeks out and i tried it. Put a small taste of chocolate on my tongue and felt sick. I think it was all in my head since im not supposed to have it. I wll not be buying or giving out candy. We dont get enough kids to even bother.

For me i plan on having a couple pieces but to leave it at that. And we have 2cbags of candy in our house right now that I've hidden from me and my husband. Of course i know where they are cause i "hid" them, but if i don't see them then i forget about them. And we'll be giving out extra candy to get rid of them.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
