So I have to confess a purple peep has been sacrificed already. My husband bought me sugar free candy this year but I am limiting myself to 2 pieces a weeks. Anyone else struggling already with candy today.

Not allowing candy in my house. Besides candy makes me vomit and sugar free is to sweet. I have an 11 yr old and bought him a DS game instead. After work we are going to a movie and dinner. You will do fine today.

I am so addicted to sugar that it is so hard to avoid. Sugar is so evil. Lol ;)

I didn't buy my kids candy this year either. I don't want the temptation.

I'm buying some on sale. I've got 2 large bags of Mini eggs already, they've been hidden in my dishwasher (which I don't use) to minimize odds of me getting into them. I've only dipped in the bag once so far, and it's been two weeks!

I'm going to Purdy's (a chocolate place, like a step below Godiva) today to stock up on some fancy eggs they have. Seems like I have decent enough self control to keep things like that in the house now. I love my sleeve!

As far as Easter candy goes...NO YAYYYY! NOT ONE SINGLE EASTER CANDY WOW!!!! I didn't realize it until you mentioned it. Maybe it's because this is the first year I didn't buy my kids a basket :( ...they are 15 and nearly 20 LOL and yes I typically buy them one, but this year I was like nah...it guess worked out for me LOL!

No candy in my house this year. My boys are 14 & 16. Funny thing is my boys aren't really into sweets. Thankfully that is something I didn't pass down to them. Now post sleeve I realize I would be the one eating most of their candy. This is the first year I didn't buy candy for me put it in their baskets lol lol.

I filled eggs for the kids last night and only had a couple Starburst jellybeans. I don't have much of a sweet tooth anyway so it's not a big deal - I haven't been interested in any of the other candy.< /p>

lol....and I thought I was the only one who gave into temptation...lol. I bought a bag of those mini snack size kit kats....ohhhh so good. But i can only have a couple before my body gives me the all to clear sign of "that's enough" But overall, in comparison to last year, I think we all did pretty well.

I confess! I had two reese's eggs. I refuse to beat myself up about it though as I'm staying on track and continuing to lose.

Last year I polished off probably 3 packs of Reese eggs in a weekend, plus jelly Beans, cadbury minis, cadbury creme eggs. I refuse to feel guilty over a few pieces of candy. For me this surgery was a way to lose weight and still enjoy life. I also ran 3 miles and did a stair workout. (my hometown was pretty much knocked out of a mountain so there are stairs everywhere)

I’ve been feeling anxious about the amount of sugar and carbs that I eat yesterday. I had a chocolate bunny and 2 croissants! My eating was way off and all I can say is that I am thankful for this tool, because without it I would have done much more! Back on track today… now I just need to focus and keep off sugar and lower my carbs again.

I feel guilty when ever I eat any kind of carbs due to the fear of gaining weight. Now that Easter candy is just plain evil! LOL I was pretty good, I love the Cadbury mini chocolate eggs with the hard shell. So when I gave in and decided I'd buy some, K Mart didn't carry them! Thank Goodness, I didn't have any and I lost a couple of ozs of weight! Now this is reinforcing. I did eat somewhat unhealthy through out the weekend, so I could of lost some more weight. Hummmmm, time to up the exercise and eating Proteins, veggies, and drinking alot of Water with my Vitamin supplements. ;)

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
