It was easier for me the first and second year sleeved. The first year I had no candy because I was only 2 months post op, last year I was at goal and I think I had 1 peice. This year in maintenence for a year it's been hard. I've had several Kit Kats. But I'll be running them off tomorrow and detoxing off sugar again for sure!

I have been wearing it all month to get my money's worth since hopefully it will be too big next year!

HOPEFULLY!?!?!!

GIRL! Did you just feel me roll my eyes at you? By this time next year, you'll be stuffing it full of tissue and wearing it as a pumpkin costume. I have NO doubt.

I've had four or five minis between yesterday and today. They were yummy, but not exciting. I am definitely PMSing or I'd probably only had one or two. This is the only time of the month I really want chocolate.

Four or five isn't great, but considering that pre-op I would have massacred the whole bag, it's great. At three and a half years post op, I also know what I need to do to counter that chocolate. :)

Nope, not tempted too much by candy...on the other hand my hubby is sitting across from me eating a huge bag of freshly popped buttery popcorn. I'm staring daggers right now. Popcorn is my kryptonite. I could live on popcorn alone. Oh I could seriously kill him right now....then take his popcorn...

I am a huge advocate of allowing yourself to eat some junk sometimes, and Halloween seems like as good a time as any to have a few pieces of candy. I didn't have any candy at all, and it didn't occur to me that I might want any. I tend to stay away from sweets because they both make me gain weight and make me feel sick, but it took probably about 2 years post-sleeve to get to a point where I can really say that I don't much care about candy anymore.

I had a couple of pieces yesterday. I figured it was Halloween so go ahead and have a treat. But today is November 1st, not Halloween anymore, so therefore back on the wagon I go! We didn't get many trick or treaters this year, so tonight I did up bags of candy to take to my co workers tomorrow. If it's not in the house there's no temptation for me to eat 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.
