No candy for me...

@@christinah Wouldn't even consider it! I have a huge bag of mini snickers and other candy waiting for Trick or Treaters - even though we usually get less than 10 kids. I was never a candy person anyway - but at 2 weeks post-op - I have no interest at all.

I don't plan to. But if I do it will be a small piece.

Since I can actually buy clothes off the rack now, I bought a Halloween sweater this year. I have been wearing it all month to get my money's worth since hopefully it will be too big next year!

Nope... but sweets isn't my vice anyways. So I hadn't even thought about it at all today.. until now but I'm still like meh... no thanks.

BTW... Candygyrl is a nickname I received in jr high. Part of it has to do with my actual name... the other part of it is I always had candy. Always. My grandparents would give me like $20 bucks everytime I visited so I would blow it all on Candy. So much in fact I used to sell it and earn every penny plus an extra $10. Sometimes when I was bored I'd throw it all up in the air and watch kids scramble for it just for kicks and giggles. But eventually I got away from eating candy as much when I graduated high school so... mainly because I wanted to keep my teeth for as long as possible and my family had a history of decayed teeth.

I have shamed myself, everyone. I ate a Reese bar yesterday.

I had a Reeses Peanut Butter cup last week when we were giving out candies to the kids at work. While it tasted pretty good, after having gone so long without much in the way of sugar, it actually made me feel a little ... I dunno, gross afterwards. Kind of like you might feel if you had eaten something particularly greasy.

So, back to work today and that jar of chocolates is still there. I had some almonds instead. Much more satisfying actually.

Nope. I have no desire. I'm going to be glad to hand out the bag of candy tonight, get it out of the house! I'm not huge on sweets anyway.

While I was at Walmart picking up candy for trick or treaters I picked up some sugar free jolly ranchers and Peanut Butter cups by Russell Stover and they are really good. I still don't eat much being 2 months post op 11/1 but for something once in a while this will work...1 Peanut Butter cup

Honestly, I have Protein Bars so frequently that I never crave candy or candy bars. The Protein bars completely satisfy that crave. And the protein cakes I make take care of the dessert cravings. It's been a saver for me for sure!

I'm skipping the candy today so I can have a cute costume next year. lol!

[KristenLe 5,980]

I just opened the bag of snickers to hand out and the smell was incredible! I just about drooled - and I'm not even a candy person.

I'm on the purée phase and I hard a hard candy. I sucked it so it turned to liquid before it reached my stomach.
