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.

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
