Let me know what moderation is for you.

Specifically around this Halloween candy. Is it a tiny piece each day? One day where u indulge?

Im so newly post-op n candy in the house is such a big temptation. I was hoping i would be repulsed by it. I hope, as i get time under my belt with no sugar ( 1 goal i set for myself), i will feel less drawn toward it.

I dont want to be the sole failure of the world with this surgery. I know some peeps eat what they want n the restriction keeps their weight in check......

Your thoughts?

First, we are sugery twins :-) YAY! I am really struggling with the candy in the house. I started a thread boasting about my willpower, and yesterday I broke down and ate a Resees PB cup. It was the first piece of candy I had. It was the first piece of food I have had since my surgery and after hosting a Halloween party for teenagers filled with party food of every sort. The candy is still calling my name and it won't shut up. I told it to get out of my house but it didn't listen. We have a wheelbarrel full of it due to over-zealous trick-or-treating kiddos from my house. I gave a bag of it to a lady at the park today, made my son go home and get it LOL. The struggle is real. I have also pondered this question and hope I am not the poster child of failure either. What I have come up with is this: as soon as I am allowed, I will work in a treat for myself, ..and maybe even everyday, a very small one albeit, because, just that 1 Resees peanutbutter did wonders for my morale, (lol), it was enough, made me happy dance,, AND...::wait for it::: and I didnt want anymore!!! and that made me happy: a win win.

So for me, treats will not be out of the question. For me, I am grateful to be able to eat 1 and feel satisfied, a completely new sensation lol.

Thank you! Your feedback is very helpful

Better lay off the Halloween ? don't want you looking like the Thanksgiving Turkey, although a Mini-taste is so so good for the Soul, and Glory Glory your new installed Appestat did Work! ? from me in Central Ohio to YOU!

I am pre-op (in the 6 month hoop jumping phase) for me (so far) it has been one peice, and a bite off one of my daughter's.
