Anyone else binge before they had surgery?

[Sadlers1999 169]

I am less than two weeks from surgery and find myself trying to eat everything that I know I won't be able to after surgery... am I mental? Of did anyone else feel this way or do this?

Feedback...

Keep it real please. Thank you.

I only had a three day liquid diet with surgery tomorrow. The dietician told me that the thing people miss most post-surgery are fresh fruits and vegetables, so on Wednesday, I had a Greek salad with shrimp. I ate grilled fish tacos on Thursday (day before liquid diet) because that is another favorite. I love the crunch of the cabbage on the fish. I also ate one dessert on Thursday night. I think I was pretty restrained, but what you are saying is what I was thinking. "I'm not going to have ____for a long time if ever, so I would like to enjoy it one more time." The only thing I did not eat that I love is pizza. l wish I could have had one more slice.

In a way, I felt like a prisoner having his "last meal."

I am currently on a very strict 3 month diet (or until I have lost 60 lbs). After this diet I will meet with my NUT to start a 4 week pre-opt diet. I have decided that I am going to take one day to enjoy each of my favorite meals. For Breakfast I want a breakfast burrito, for lunch I want cheese sticks, and for dinner I want pizza. I have a feeling I'm probably going to feel bad after that (physically because I'm putting things in my body I haven't been use to lol).

I still think that all food can be made in a healthy way. None of the things have to be forever off your eating list, but you may need to make them a little differently. I really love raw fruits and vegetables. I think normally it takes a long time to work back to things like that (with all the chewing, etc), but I still want to believe that I will be able to eat a Tomato again. The main reason I feel like I need surgery is the hope that I can re-learn how to eat smaller portions of things.
