Would you say cut some slack to a person who brought in alcohol when there was a recovering alcoholic in the house??

I'm not saying they can't eat it, there's plenty of places other than the house they can have it.... just don't bring it home.

sorry just had to comment i live with my fiance he is skinny can eat w.e he wants. Even though im not banded yet im not allowing any of this bad food in my mouth so yes the temptation is there when hes stuffing candy and sodas and all the delicious fatty foods down his face( i hate his metabolism)!!... either way i let him eat what he wants which is hard but to yell at someone is not nice and i feel is one of the issues people lose connections in a relationship is because we are more restrictive on what they eat too.

and also it is unrealistic to say they can eat these things at other places. Supportive yes Controlling no

sorry just had to say it i feel strong about this.

Not sure what to do this year about candy. I live in a very rural neighborhood with only like 8 kids. First two years I bought a box of full size candy bars from costco. I don't want to be that old witch on the corner! Last year NOBODY came. ZIP. Returned my unopened box to Costco. Last Easter I had a bag of Snickers on the counter that sat there for 3 months. I wanted to toss them figuring they were stale. My mother said "You are not throwing those away." She brought them to her church's fellowship hour. Not sure if they were stale or not!

LOL, okay "outside", what do you mean by your kids got "boo'd" and why do you have to buy more candy so your kids and "boo" other kids???? LOL I've never heard of this, but it sounds fun -- for the kids -- lots of candy to be bought. LOL

Please explain. :smile2:

To be boo'd is when a bag of candy and note mysteriously shows up at your front door (dropped off by a neighbor kid who sneaks up, knocks and then run away like their pants are on fire before you get to the door). Along with the bag of candy is a note explaining that you have been "boo'd" and you need to in turn "boo" three other friends. There is also a picture of a ghost to hang on your door to let other kids know that you have already been "boo'd".

I have been a little bad, I must confess. I had a couple of the mini candy bars on Friday, and Saturday then last night and today! I only had one or two but I really wanted more! I know I am getting ready to enter "that time of the month" which is the hardest time for me because I want to eat everything in site! I know I was bad for eating it, but I have been doing well, and I keep thinking I'll just have to walk an extra 1/2 mile tonight! I just have to remember that everyone has a time when they get off track, and before my surgery I wouldn't have rebounded. But now I am diffrent and I will get right back on that track! So for those of you who have "cheated" don't fret and freak out, get right back on that track and keep going!

OMG...Halloween candy sounds so good! I came home last night and a Reese's cup was staring me in the face, it took all my will-power to not just take one little bite. I didnt do it, but I am not going to lie, I was so pathetic, thats what I was thinking of when I went to sleep. But I didn't do it, I keep telling myself that I didn't go through the pain of this surgery just to ruin it. Although my nutritionist did say that once a week, a small treat won't hurt. Eventually I will treat myself to something, I am just to scared to do it now. I feel like an alcoholic...one day at a time.

I do the same thing.

There's lollies and junkfood stashed around the house now because I've asked everyone to hide theirs. :rolleyes:

There's no shame in trying to help yourself.

We're lucky to live in Australia where it's not as big here. I turned the music in my living room up so I couldn't hear the door. I'm sure there was only a couple of them anyways.

1 King Size chocolate candy bar (Snickers, Hershey, etc.) 500 calories!!!

GEEZ LOL.

I wouldn't be able to eat any of that stuff - it'd send me into a sugar craving spiral of doom.

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

        I'm in Houston so kind of near you and had the sleeve in Dec. Down 61 lbs. Feeling better. Was definitely worth it. I hope the everything is going well for you. Update us when you can!

        I am back home after my bypass surgery in Tiajuana. I'm post op day 4. Everything went great! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have not encountered much pain at all, no nausea thus far and I'm having no problem keeping down broths and water. Thank you for your well wishes. I cant wait to keep up this journey and have a chance at better health and simply better quality of life. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead, and everything won't be peaches and cream, but at least I have a great start so far. 😍

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜
