Food Funeral For Real!

[612belly 32]

My surgery is August 16 at 7am. I start my pre op diet on August 6. I am cooking all my favorite things tacos, apple turnovers, grapes everything!!! Is this happening to anyone else?! I see the nut tomorrow and have my pre op physical...I bet I've gained 4 pounds! I also had a cheeseburger last night! Damn

I did the same thing before my lapband surgery! I think I had "my last meal" about 15 times! I wanted to be sure I got in all the foods I wouldn't get to have again. Looking back it probably wasn't the best idea, because I did gain some weight before surgery. I think alot of people do this....maybe not as many times as I did though.. lol Good luck on your surgery!!

yeah I did the same thing and I did gain weight before my surgery.

I didn't have enough time to, because the month ahead of surgery flew right by me. I did have maybe one dinner here or there. From what I've read though, it's very normal. Just make sure you stick to the pre-op diet if your doctor prescribed one. I think like 2 days before my surgery I just about had a panic attack thinking about all the stuff I'd 'never get to eat again'. Now that I'm post-op, it doesn't even sound appealing, and I've realized that at some point in my life I'll still probably be able to have a small portion of them, but for the time being, they're not really even on my mind.

I was with you last week... got my favorite birthday cake and ate about 1/2 of it over 3 days. Then 2 days later was liquid fasting to prep for my first surgery consult.... good thing because he gave me a cancellation spot that opened up for just 5 days away. Been behaving since but have had 6 months of funeral food so it's about time I buckle down. Wanted to break the carb addiction before surgery and that is done. A small bit of sushi tonight (final funeral) and then final regular food tomorrow.....liquid only on Tuesday and Surgery Wed. excited- freaked out- thankful to finally be here- hopeful for the year ahead

man oh man, did i see right? you gained 4 lbs.

only kidding about your small weight gain,don't kick yourself in the tush too much don't beat yourself up about it either

i am now hanging head down very low

i had two weeks prior to WLS, that i went food crazy

My dr. didn't require a pre- op diet op before WLS. i wish he had, that might have prevented me from eating too much. so its the dr.s fault, right?

i don't think so, he didn't force food down my throat

i didn't need any help with that

I gained weight pre-surgery. mmm don't seem to remember how much i gained oh yeah, for my ears only

its true, other people go through this longer food funeral too, so you're not the only one

good luck, you'll be fine

I think it is very common. I ate everything in sight , and a lot of it, before my preop diet started.

I had 3 meals 3 days before my pre op started mums lasagne was the sat, then I had roast pork potatoes and veg sun and Monday day before I had mums homemade chicken and veg pie.

That was it for me they were the 3 things I wanted and mum was like we can go anywhere or order any food you want they were my choices!

I lost weight during my pre op diet even when I had to switch from my first choice to food on doctors orders.

They know we do the last supper thing and what I was told is as long as you do it at least a week before the op then its not so bad what they find is people stick to the pre op then the 1-2 days before op day they panic and do the last meal thing ruining the point of the pre op diet.

Which isn’t for weightloss at all its to shrink the liver.

I have not been sleeved yet but I have to be completely honest when I say that I don't see anything wrong with it.

It's a finale. A closure. Your way way of hopefully saying that it's all good. A silver lining sort of if you will in that you will soon enough be able to enjoy things again.

A peace of mind if you will. It may be a kind of weird way to think of it but I don't worry about that. I really don't. I have made up my mind to have the surgery and I know that I will probably have a few days of stuff that I shouldn't and wouldn't normally do even with the changes I have made...

All is well. Don't sweat it. Do it if you feel like and don't if you don't. You have to have some peace of mind from somewhere and it's odd the thoughts and the places where these things come from.

Rambling maybe but it's all good in my mind lol!
