Food Funeral: Justine's Definition...



Recommended Posts

.... The period of time between being told surgery is approved until I meet with the doctor again OR until pre op starts.

Just so happens to be my favorite part of the pre surgery phase. Mind you me- I will be happy to give it all up when the time is here.

As a refresher: the worst part of pre surgery: waiting for approval.

I dont' really get the 'food funeral' thing - but I have had a few meals that I know I won't have anymore...not 100% sure why I did it, I guess becuase I could....as I certainly won't miss anything about food. I don't get the concept that you can't live without diet soda - or certain foods... please don't flame me - I just don't understand that mindset that food could be a 'friend'. food is food, nothing less and nothing more - to me that is. I just have an issue with finishing my plate....or eating a whole burger when 1/3 of it would just be fine - because I can - not because I crave it.

thank goodness I had the 6 months or prep time for this surgery - as I started incorporting these eating behaviors in advance so I hope i don't struggle after the surgery.

I just used the term because I see it on here a lot. By nature - I don't take things too seriously - love to have a good time and am usually pretty opimistic. That being said- I think you are totally entitled to your opinions. Quite honestly I find it comical on here that so many people get so upset by people'a posts. It Sounds like you have developed a healthy relationship - yea relationship- with food. I, on the other hand, do not :)

Here! Here! I figure if I had that healthy a relationship with food, I wouldnt be desperately seeking Sleevie. But alas, food has been my lover( dont tell DH...I'm sure he has his suspicions, lol!!)

I love to cook it, eat it and smell it. It will be like saying by to a old flame and hello to a new hot lover I hope. I want to cook it. Smell it. Enjoy it.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
