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.

We don't get the girl scouts selling Cookies where I live. Thank goodness for that.

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.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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!
