I ate a cupcake at work. :-( I resisted it all day and ate it when I was getting ready to go home.

I've come to the awful realization that I don't dump.

I had a jolly rancher candy stick. Look we can not totally deny ourselves we have to be careful how much and how often we allow ourselves a treat of course. I read the package and found the candy with the least calories and least sugar and allowed myself to have the one- guilt free! The difference today from last halloween is that I would have eaten tons more and not even thought about it. Today I ate one candy and a couple of candy corn and that was it and my craving was dealt with and I am all good. Do I do that everyday? NO! But we have to allow ourselves some treats once in awhile in order not to feel deprived and move one. Do I wish I was that person that never craved this stuff and could be totally happy all the time with fruit, cheese and soybeans to snack on (my normal snacks) YES, but I am not, so I need to own it and not let it own or control me. So I think I did good I had a little bit and did not feel deprived and enjoyed watching my family eat the caramel apples and cider I made for them yet did not eat.

Enjoy life with control!

i wasn't tempted, but that is probably because I am pre op and I knew I could have some and nobody would know, or I wouldn't dump or anything. Maybe some of it is KNOWING YOU CAN"T have it that makes it so hard. So what I am saying is, it might have been easy for me yesterday but sure might not be easy for me after surgery. What you says makes a lot of sense Ellie. If we feel deprived we want it more. We can't let one piece mean a binge, and let it say heck I screwed up so I might as well eat the whole bowl. None of us should do that, if we are pre op, post op, dump or don't dump. We have to do something to change our way of thinking and dealing with this. We can do this.

I agree. Just because we had this surgery doesn't mean we can never eat what we want or crave. We just have to do so in GREAT MODERATION. I had a few pieces of candy yesterday and didn't dump. However, I didn't eat as many as I would have in the past. Even though I haven't dumped, I keep in mind that it is still possible. When I endulge I do so in moderation. For instance, I still enjoy fried foods. In the past, I could eat a 3pc in no time. Now, I have a leg or a wing or two and I'm done. And I don't do it often. Will power is a factor, too and I thank God for having it.

I have all this extra left over here. I'm not going to even test the waters!!! :wacko: I won't lie, when I first opened the bag of chocolates and the smell of Reese's came out I almost fell to my knees. After that, I haven't even wanted any.

I have left overs, too. I only bought M&M fun packs. I'm going to keep a few packs and give the rest away. It will probably take me forever to eat them though. LOL. They will come in handy during that time of the month though.

      April Surgery
      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.
