I'm sure many of us began the labor day weekend 2 days ago but by it being the holiday most people are having their final farewells to summer cookouts and outings.

Is anyone struggling with food choices? So far I'm not... could change tomorrow. I've been busy getting kids ready for back to school. So I've been preoccupied. The hubby and I grocery shopped today and will cook early tomorrow.

Then I'm back out to the stores for labor day sales and back to school shopping.

What are you doing to get through the holidays? Especially you fresh post ops... i remember the struggle. I was sleeved 3 days before July 4th. It wasnt easy.

No. I grill most days. I grilled yesterday, grilling again today. I have sugar free BBQ sauce and sugar free BBQ rubs.

If you can cook, I really don't see holidays being a struggle as far as food.

I made some delicious garlic shrimp and deviled eggs made with low fat mayo and splenda.....Can't keep my husband out of MY food!! LOL

I'm on the liver-shrinking diet and really struggling. I'm really hungry all the time and it makes me grumpy. My family's not doing anything for Labor Day, but the 3rd was my birthday, and it was hard not to Celebrate with food.

this is I think the hardest part but I just want to tell you IT WILL BE WORTH IT ALL.

Tonight I grilled some fat NY strips, served with a house salad' complete with blue cheese', bacon and reduced balsamic, and bread. I skipped the bread.

I make a lot less carbs now and it's not affecting my family in a negative manner at all.

Had surgery 8/22 bypass, and I ate a pickle half today. I couldn't help myself does that count?
