WooHoo! I made it through Halloween! [emoji23]



Recommended Posts

Yesterday was my four week mark, and I was very nervous because I knew the candy situation. I’m a teacher, and we have Halloween parties, kids bring me special treats, and then there is trick-or-treating at night.

Not only did I make it through alive, I didn’t have one bite of candy. My cravings didn’t exist. I wasn’t even interested when people brought me my own bag of Snickers. This is the most amazing feeling! I can do this!!!

Have a great day, all!

I am right there with you! So proud of myself!! I handed out candy AND had my annual chili dog and nacho Halloween dinner for the kids and their friends!! I just ate my pureed tuna and while everyone else ate the goooood stuff and I was fine. Another huge victory for me was going to the movie!! The best part of the movie for me is the food and I made it just drinking Water with everyone chowing down around me. Super stoked :)

I made it through, too, with nothing, but there is still a 5 gallon bucket of candy sitting here. MY kids get to eat some tonight and then keep a small container and then it must GO. Sadly, not only do I still have full hunger, but I have full on interest in eating chocolate! I'm hoping if I do ever cave, it makes me horribly sick :)

      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.
