Halloween Candy



Recommended Posts

Anyone else like me sitting here on the internet instead of plowing into the "easy to go down.....Halloween candy" at their front door!?!

I love candy!! When we got home tonight, as always, my son and I poured all of his candy in the floor. We separate the chocolate, the really cool candy, the suckers, and the not so good candy. Now he has 4 neat little bags of candy. I know, it's a little obsessive. I didn't even eat one bite, but now that everyone is in bed and I am the only one up, I am having a hard time not eating a peice.

candy was everywhere at work today. It was hell. I'm on full fluids after surgery and between my pre-op and post-op diets, I haven't had much in the way of sugar recently.

I let two little chocolates from a small package dissolve in my mouth as a "treat". Some treat - I was sick as a pooch and high as a kite.

I licked the rest of them and threw them in the trash so that I wouldn't eat them. (Fearing that simply throwing them in my trash bin, in their package, wouldn't make them unpalatable enough)

I had a goal yesterday on Halloween... that goal was to not eat one thing sweet - candy, Cookies, cake - NOTHING...

My office was full of goodies, of course we had candy at home to give out..

I DID IT!! :whoo:I did not put one thing sweet in my mouth :clap2: YIPPY!

I had a little Almond Joy last night while handing out candy. It wasn't nearly as good as I remember. I did feel a little guilty but am proud of myself for staying away from the Peanut Butter cups!!

(Next year I'm buying candy I don't like - not sure why I didn't think of that this year. Old habits die hard I guess)<!-- google_ad_section_end --><!-- / message --><!-- sig -->

Thank God we don't have Halloween or most of those brands (yet?)

Sounds like an obvious question but what specifically is candy? In Australia, I would divide sugar-laden junk food into three categories. Lollies (sweets?), chocolate and biscuits (or even better- chocolate biscuits).

I googled this but couldn't find an answer. Is a Snickers considered candy or is it called chocolate bar?

To me candy is.....lollipops; chocolate; candy bars (definitely Snickers!!!); jelly Beans....basically anything yummy and good!

I sent all our leftover candy to my husband's office....far out of my reach!!!!

I didn't have anything last night. I made my DH hand it out so I wouldn't even have to smell it. And I also sent some of the left overs to his work and took a bag to mine to be put on the front counter far, far, far away from my desk.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
