Happy Valentine's Day to all of you. I hope that your day is a perfect day. It is OK to Celebrate this day WITHOUT having candy. There are so many other things that you could do for yourself that would make you feel great.

Make something that is sugar free or use Splenda to bake something that you can have a small amount of.

Remember sometimes just having a small amount of something or just a taste will satisfy your need to have it.

I wish you great happiness today along with feeling great about yourself. I want you to feel successful if this is your first Valentine's Day after having WLS. If you are thinking about having weight loss surgery try today to NOT having something that you know is something unhealthy to eat. It is just one day. Remember we do this one day at a time and here is a great place to start.

You can do this, there are a lot of people out here that have done this and we will continue to support you no matter what.

Hugs,

Suzanne

I don't even have a sweet tooth anymore. I didn't much have one before surgery either. I might consider some SF Jello pudding or Yoplait yogurt with some fat free whipped topping ,,, or not. I have the remains of a ribeye in the fridge and it will take me a week to eat it.

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!

:heart: Happy Valentine's Day to you too! :heart:

Man, my family brought chocolate covered strawberries and different assorted cheesecakes! It's hard but it's not impossible. I can open the tray, smell it- the sugar, fake chocolate and preservatives- and close it and eat a slice of turkey deli and feel fine. NSV!!!!!!! Oh yeah! Before the sleeve ALL of that food would have been "missing" around 11 am. I'm just saying. OH and it's my favorite cousin's birthday who I love like the sister I always wanted

Happy Valentine's Day :wub: :heart: :grouphug:

Great post, Suzanne!

That said, I did buy a small heart-shaped blueberry cobbler for the two of us to share after dinner....but it's ok because today I did 70 squats, 70 burpees, 70 pull-ups, 70 push-ups, 70 double-unders, 70 sit-ups, and 70 hanging knee-to-elbows. :biggrinjester:
