Food Funeral......glad It Has Happened!



Recommended Posts

Well....I have finally gotten sick of eating all the stuff I probably will never eat again......I had a food funeral this week and am so glad I got to do it....

I can't wait until Monday to start my 2 week pre-op liquid diet......

It feels okay to say good bye to all the past and leave this old me in the past...when I read on here about others having food funerals...I did not understand...but I do now and am happy to have gone through it.......I planned carefully every thing that I wanted to taste one more time.....it was good.......but I am so glad it is over.....

The first time I was booked I did not get a chance to deal with the last meal and possible missed foods I would never eat again......the last thing I ate before that pre-op diet started, was a toasted Tomato sandwich.....I was really upset about that..never got the chance to Celebrate the good news or choose my last bad habit meal......( Head still not screwed on right then...)

A few days later I got the new date and even though I have been careful about my intake...I have eaten food that I probably will never eat again..salt, sugar, greasy you know the stuff I mean.....

I feel even more ready now and set on my decision to sleeve.........

      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.
