Easter candy!



Recommended Posts

Why do all holidays seem to involve food? The kids don’t even like candy that much and now we have baskets of the stuff. I’m not super into sweets, but having pounds of candy laying around isn’t helpful to the cause!

It would be so much easier if those plastic eggs were just filled with hard boiled eggs.

I usually don't crave sweet. But, I have my chocolate or carb weak moments . I tell my husband to hide or take to work any temptation foods when I'm struggling.

I do dip strawberries in hershey's chocolate sugar free Syrup or have a Quest chocolate flavored Protein Bar to kill the craving.

How would you like to be allergic to chocolate like me? No true joy there in a cocoa world. Alas I still have a few nemesis left -like Reeses pieces and Payday bars.Whipped cream, Maraschino cherries and Caramel Syrup. Lead me not into Blondie Brownies and Iced Sugar Cookies. I have food-dar, I'll find them on my own![emoji497][emoji512][emoji511][emoji513]

I bit a Cadbury Egg. i'll admit it. They're my favorite Easter candy. One little bite...and it was freaking wonderful...and disgusting...all at the same time.

Handed it off to my daughter immediately to keep from re-offending. And did not do it in my house.

For some reason, I feel better about a bite of a "special occasion treat" when I don't bring it into my house. How weird is that? Also...there have to be support people present. LOL. I have a lot of weird rules about consuming naughty things I need to be kept accountable for.

It's like....I think drinking is worse when done alone and secretively at home. If my family sees me bite that egg...and quit after a bite....it's safe. (weird new safety parameters for a weird new life)

      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.
