Oh my gosh! Someone who shares my love of cereal!! I ADORED Cereal pre op. Ate it for Breakfast, ate it for lunch, ate it for dinner, ate it for a snack (not always of course, but always an easy "go to" when I didn't feel like cooking).

Probably why I got up to 235 pounds, lol. I really miss it. And the more sugary, the better. I was eyeing the Count Chocula in the store the other day with fondness....

Hahahaha yep it was eaten many times in a day sometimes.

When my husband worked the eve/night shift I'd have cereal for dinner.

Another cereal that I couldn't stay away from was Raisin Bran.

But I'd have it with cream not milk.

Can't believe I just admitted that.

Lol

My husband doesn't like cereal so there's none in the house so I'm safe. Hahaha not that I'd eat it now anyways but still, don't need it taunting me!

Trust me, you guys definitely aren't the only cereal killers here. I've had a special relationship with cereal my entire life. It started with fruit loops.

In fact, my mom tells me my first ever punishment (for coloring on the wall when I was just old enough to know better) was having my fruit loops taken away for a few days when I was 3 yrs old.

Over the years I grew to love cereal even more. Corn Pops. Life. Lucky Charms. Fruity freaking Pebbles! And any time of day was fine - breakfast, lunch, dinner, snack, 3 am after the bars closed in college.

I definitely miss it. But not enough to trade in the 25 lbs I've lost to get it back.

Love this thread! My hubby also brings it home, and we live in a condo with a security entrance, so NO chance of trick-or-treaters either. Our deal is that he can only buy the stuff I don't like. It pretty much works too. (Yes, you may buy Butterfingers or candy-corn, NO you may NOT buy anything Reeses or straight chocolate!!!)

And @Julie norton I laughed out loud at the chocolate siren! YES - that's me too. Seriously, it's my crack.

Happy to report that other than one small lapse with the snickers I have managed to stay away from the candy. :) Yea me! Just one more day to go and then it is out of the house! (such a different attitude from last year. haha)

I have also improved my attitude on Halloween and am finally getting into a little bit of the spirit. Bring on those tricker-treaters!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
