HELP I want Carbs..
Are you really craving carbs? Is your body telling you it needs that m&m cookie? My guess would be no... is your mind wanting you to eat the cookie? more than likely yes....
Its not easy post-op to break bad habits... but take each day as it comes. Is that cookie worth it? No... is it worth everything youve been thru? naaah. Do you want to risk getting sick over it? surely not.
Go give the rest of the cookies away... heck toss them in the trash... oops they fell on the floor :-) temptation is hard.. sometimes it not being there makes it a little easier! You are stronger than that cookie... so dont give in.

I have to disagree with what Annie said... the majority of RNY'ers do not dump, of those that do its off different amounts of sugar/foods. I personally dont dump. I could eat a few of those cookies and be fine :-)
Food being around is life... wait until the holidays! :-) When I was first post-op I worked at a Drs office... I had to quit because it was too much food... they had a full kitchen and people were always cooking... plus we had fully stocked snacks in addition to the lunches they catered every day... ugggh!!
Fruit and veggies are always good and whole grains :-)

Hi Kelly,
As usual, Jennifer is on the money. What you are experiencing is often known as head-hunger and it's definitely something that we need to learn to discern, recognize and manage. If you haven't already gotten a copy of the 'Beck Diet Solution' I would seriously suggest that you get a copy. I found it (and still do find it) to be very helpful in learning to identify and manage things like head-hunger.
Hang in there!
