Easter candy!



Recommended Posts

Why do all holidays seem to involve food? The kids don’t even like candy that much and now we have baskets of the stuff. I’m not super into sweets, but having pounds of candy laying around isn’t helpful to the cause!

It would be so much easier if those plastic eggs were just filled with hard boiled eggs.

I usually don't crave sweet. But, I have my chocolate or carb weak moments . I tell my husband to hide or take to work any temptation foods when I'm struggling.

I do dip strawberries in hershey's chocolate sugar free Syrup or have a Quest chocolate flavored Protein Bar to kill the craving.

How would you like to be allergic to chocolate like me? No true joy there in a cocoa world. Alas I still have a few nemesis left -like Reeses pieces and Payday bars.Whipped cream, Maraschino cherries and Caramel Syrup. Lead me not into Blondie Brownies and Iced Sugar Cookies. I have food-dar, I'll find them on my own![emoji497][emoji512][emoji511][emoji513]

My kids got nuts in their plastic eggs this year (Easter Bunny pranked them for April Fools)

I bit a Cadbury Egg. i'll admit it. They're my favorite Easter candy. One little bite...and it was freaking wonderful...and disgusting...all at the same time.

Handed it off to my daughter immediately to keep from re-offending. And did not do it in my house.

For some reason, I feel better about a bite of a "special occasion treat" when I don't bring it into my house. How weird is that? Also...there have to be support people present. LOL. I have a lot of weird rules about consuming naughty things I need to be kept accountable for.

It's like....I think drinking is worse when done alone and secretively at home. If my family sees me bite that egg...and quit after a bite....it's safe. (weird new safety parameters for a weird new life)

      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!!
