So, I think I can count on one hand the number of times I've eaten a piece of candy since my surgery almost 11 months ago.
I LOVED chocolate!
Over Christmas someone gave me a few Godiva Gems, I looked at them for a couple of days and decided I was going to try one (the fear being I'd eat every piece in the box as before). I put it in my mouth expecting that almost sinful feeling that you get from something decadent......it tasted like wax and I spit it out!!
Then I guess I was bound and determined to eat a piece of chocolate so last night I had a piece of Ghiradelli Peppermint Bark staring at me. I decided to break the small square in half and give it a try. UGH, non-flavored wax. In the trash.
Woo hoo, my Weight Watchers Latte Bars actually taste better than chocolate.

Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.

Thats incredible! I hope it turns out the same way for me after surgery.

Meanwhile, I ate a piece of pumpkin pie today... *sigh*

brownies used to be my biggest downfall - I LOVE brownies.... our office received a baked good tray from a vendor for Christmas.... one day, I took a cookie, took 3 small bites and threw the cookie away - it was just too much...

the next day, I took one of the brownies - 1" square, so little brownie.... took 2 small bites and threw it away!

couple days later, we got Dancing Deer baked goods from the building manager - loaded with cookies, brownies and a cake.... I haven't been tempted ONCE!

a guy in the office down the hall gave me a 'gift' for my kindness to him (just being me) - a box of chocolate truffles.... haven't wanted one.

my office gave me a box of chocolates - it's still wrapped in the gift wrap....

all the candy in my Christmas stocking (that was only put in it to fill the stocking) went into a communal candy basket - no desire to eat any of it...

I've had a bag of Dove dark in my desk drawer for over a month - I think I've had 3 pieces.... I really need to break my boss of buying me chocolate when he goes to CVS!

and I haven't even had surgery yet!!!

Cindy, that's fantastic! Good for you! I happen to like CT's chocolate peanut butter protein bars better than anything else I've taken a dangerous nibble at! Hugs
