Bndtoslv 292 Posted October 21, 2015 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.

Dub 9,922 Posted October 21, 2015 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....... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chuck415 89 Posted October 21, 2015 (edited) 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. Edited October 21, 2015 by chuck415 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wannaBthinsoon 1,634 Posted October 21, 2015 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! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Babbs 14,681 Posted October 21, 2015 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!

dhrguru 1,238 Posted October 21, 2015 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.

jaxmom1974 53 Posted October 21, 2015 Luckily I'm not tempted by nerds and suckers and skittles. I'm more of a chocolate girl. So, I just bought all the stuff I'm don't care about. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BestDayEver 418 Posted October 21, 2015 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tssiemer1 549 Posted October 21, 2015 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! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mommy319 31 Posted October 22, 2015 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pixieredhead 79 Posted October 22, 2015 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.

ames269 0 Posted October 22, 2015 I got Halloween shaped pretzels. There are little bags to hand out. Easier than candy that I would eat if there were leftovers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
