Brenda,

I know right where you are at, last September when I was six months p/o I bought a cake fro my granddaughter's third birthday. I had every intention of eating that one small piece, yes I had good intentions, just a taste, then send it back up here with my daughter. She forgot to take it. My husband had a couple pieces and my son and I ate the rest over a three day period. It was 1/4 sheet I guess. I have a large family! I gained three pounds! I lost that as soon as the cake was gone. and went on to lose more. Yesterday, no matter how hard I tried, I could not go to sleep, I had worked all night, and had run up the stairs a few times. My first time in a long time. I think it gave me enogh energy to fight fatigue, that and the one hour nap I had in the car right after work. So I finally fall asleep at 1530. I usually leave for work between 1600-1700 hours. I let myself sleep til 17, so I didn't have time to stop and I grabbed what I could on my way out the door. A small 1/2 cup can of ravioli, a bag of popcorn, a packet of oatmeal, a large orange, and 3/4 of a hashbrown and cheese burrito from my local haunt, what I had left over from my trip home from work. I couldn't make any of those things, and by the time I got to work it was 1900 and I was hungry, but can't eat anytime soon at work, so there was the new box of seas candy again. (New dad's love to bring the nurses Seas candy). Sigh and oh yeah, I did it. I had 6 pieces of that candy from 19 - 04 hours, like two pieces every three hours, and that would set it off. I ate the ravioli, I ate a few bites of my hashbrown burrito, 2 crackers with my ravioli. Oh I forgot I did put 1/4 cup of cottage cheese in my bag. I ate that first after the first two pieces of candy, and the ravioli after the second set of two pieces. I popped the popcorn ( i never eat that stuff, lol) I shared with the other nurses, we each had at least 1 1/2 cups. I ate my large orange. Had a bag of lays potato chips, ( I shared a few) I never ate those even before surgery. I had apple juice, coffee with choc creamer, tea with choc creamer, on the way home I got a small blended iced mocha, then got a kids meal for Lei Lani, and her and I shared that this morning, and I had a bite of her oatmeal and a couple bites of her eggs, a piece of her bacon, that has been 4 hours. I ate all that from 7pm to 9am and called myself pig all night long! Sigh. 14 hours, non stop eating.

Good luck Brenda,
