the first temptations of me

OH my goodness. it has been a bit crazy. i am at 2 weeks post op. and there has been temptation everywhere but i have been soooo good.

on Saturday i bought pizza for everyone at my mums to thank them for all there support of me and my mom. then yesterday, Monday, My godmother and her fiance came from Australia, so we went out to dinner to celebrate. i had french onion soup strained with no crouton or cheese. so broth. and water. tonight i chopped the sausage for dinner. not my dinner mind you but for there dinner. i am having leftover soup. they are having jambalaya, i am eating soup.

the world is a cruel and unusual place but i have not cheated, bitten or snuck.

although i did have a coffee today. and that was because i forgot i wasn't supposed to have caffeine. so i am sorry about that. i should have had decaff anyway. i was a bit hyper after. i dont know the problem with having caffeine post surgery so if anyone knows please let me know. i wont be doing it again just in case. i hate to break the rules

but thank you for all that have followed along with me i will keep you up to date when i can.

i have had some pain lately and there is as i mentioned company so i dont have a lot of time to just chat. but when they are gone on friday, i will feel better or have more time.

Cheers

Congratulations!! You're doing great. Amazing in fact!!!

I don't know the rules about caffeine. I haven't wanted a coffee yet... so no angel hanging over my head. No doubt someone else will chime in!

Seriously though, you're doing amazingly well! Keep on keeping on!!!

Caffiene can cause ulcers which is why decaf is recommended. I havent have a caffinated coffee since dec 1 2016 and dont miss it. Most days i dont even have decaf now ? Mostly because i have an ulcer and because im pregnant.

Good job at not giving into temptation - its not easy

First congrats.. I know temptations suck eh? But you did so well!! YAY you!

Uhm TWH .. I never saw a real restriction on caffeine but it does dehydrate you. And I think I heard one is allowed but... as I said before it does dehydrate.

Yes. Apparently for every coffee you have you should have 2 glasses of water.

Way to go. Temptation will always be there. You are doing great. My surgeon said no caffeine for 6 months as it can cause ulcers.

I remember being at the stage and just hating it, but I promise you it will be over soon and a distant memory. Good for you for staying on track, keep up the great work!

You're doing great! Coffee can cause ulcers, so it's good that you're not going to have any more this early out.

I was told decaf is OK but it may vary from centre to centre, so best to ask.

I'm so lucky I don't have to cook for anyone; that would drive me batty, lol. If it gets to be too much of a temptation, are your family members old enough to fend for themselves?

Congrats on being strong and cooking for others at the same time. I don't know what I am going to do when I have to cook for my daughter. I totally respect that you were able to keep to the Opti in what seems to be a very hard time.

I hope you will keep us updated in your journey!
