Hi everyone, I know this is on our list of 'don't take' but has anyone ever taken any, in small doses, since surgery? I have so much trouble sleeping at night with my knee pain and I take vicodin, but I sort of want to stop taking them. I know I'm pretty anal about what to take, but .... thanks for your help love donna

Hi donna, yup, totally can understand. I've gotten to where, since I do like to support fundraisers, I just buy the stuff and then give it back to them to sell to someone else!! Sometimes I just am afraid to tempt myself. I don't' think I'm strong I have not had any sugar since my surgery, and that was always a big problem for me, so it's lilke I don't want to open the flood gates. If I could use common sense control I wouldnt have gotten myself in this situation. Good job cutie!! love donna

So proud of you!!!! that is too funny. You are so right. Only we would understand. How many times have I bought junk (pre surgery)- eaten either all or most of it and then making sure I threw away any traces of it. Of yes. Would stuff myself silly before supper and then have to pretend to be hungry. LOL. Only we can understand. Koukla

Shelly you are so lucky. It sounds like you have someone who is trying to be very supportive of you in there own way. I hear you on the changes. If something doesn't happen soon I am gonna scream. donna

I just had to post myself a big old pat on the back. One of the guys here had to sell cookie dough for his kids fundraiser.... well being the nice person that I am I bought a bucket. I had completely forgotten about it. Yesterday, it just so happens that it is that time of the month and when I left work I was starved. I had planned on having a liter of ice tea to drink hoping that I wouldn't pig out the minute I got home. As I was leaving my buddy hands me the bucket of cookie dough and I almost died. Now what.... me and this dough in the car together for 1+ hour..... not a good thing. I was really stupidly kind of floored, I knew that I could eat the whole thing and would given the chance. I keep thinking about this dough and the ride... when I got to the car I kind of grinned a sad little smile.... opened the trunk and dumped it in. It worked I never touched the stuff... I was so happy I could just Only you guys would understand this.... in the past I would convinced myself to have a few bite and ended up downing the whole thing, throwing away the container so that nobody would know..... this time I even had my youngest take it out of the car and throw it in the freezer. I haven't even seen the stuff since. donna
