OMG Hold Me Back the Girl Scouts are Coming!



Recommended Posts

I know, I know, I can do this. After all, I survived Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years Eve, and the Super Bowl with my new Band.

But when I saw the billboard today that said, "The Girls Scout Cookies are Coming" it freaked me out. :tongue: OMG, my favorites are coming back. :thumbup: You think I'm crazy don't you? But I love those darn cookies and they are only here once a year. It is going to take all my Band will power and the support of my LBT buddies to get me through this.

I buy, freeze, and dole them out. Works great.

I used to buy the Trefoils, freeze them, then eat a sleeve of frozen Cookies. The Thin Mints are just as delicious frozen. Yum. This year, I purchased cookies and then checked the option to donate the cookies to the food bank.

They are putting less cookies in each box this year so you will get less calories per box at least!!

Well, I plan on making the thin mints I bought last several weeks in stead of finishing them off in days.

sigh. I am a girlscout co-leader and I am about to be in cookie HELL

OMG how will you ever do that? I love supporting Girl Scouts, their programs rock! Those Cookies rock!

I just have to be strong and not consume a whole box in one sitting like my pre-band days. I don't think I can physically eat a whole box now that I am banded, but ohhhh the temptation. :angry:

i bought the one box that i can do w/out (hubby's fav) - thin mints. in the freezer; he calls them his junior mint Cookies.< /p>

i'm not a cookie person, but if the girl scouts got in the chip business - they have a customer for life!

They are a killer, especially the classics, the thin mints and the plain sugar kind.

I can't resist buying them from those cute little girls, but now have an outlet for eating them. I send them to the troops in Iraq or Afganistan. You wouldn't believe how well recieved the Cookies are by the troops AND the locals.

It feels even better than eating them to give them away to a just cause!

I intend on eating a box of Cookies with my kiddos. One day of junk food wont hurt me at all. Might give me a tummy ache, though.

      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.
