... begins and ends today. I really want sauerkraut and pork!

Did anyone else have an "official" food funeral? An unintentional food funeral? No food funeral at all?

Tomorrow I begin my preop diet. I plan to focus on a very regimented and structured preop diet to maximize my efforts.

Wish me luck!

For about a week before my preop I ate things I knew I could maybe never eat again or at least it would be quite a while. Im 6 weeks post op now and can eat pretty much anything just not much of it at a time so i I eat my Protein first then veggies I didnt go through this to eat junk and be unhealthy still.I nhaven't tried anything sweet and really have no desire for it right now.

I did indeed have a food funeral. For a week or two after I scheduled my surgery, I also ate things that I knew I would likely either never eat again (because they're trigger foods for me) or at least not for a long time. I went from 238.8 the day of booking to around 245 and now I'm working on getting back down again before my surgery! doh.gif

You can do it! I need to drop about 50 lbs by March.

I lived a big part of my life as if every day was a food funeral, so I think by the time I actually booked the surgery it was just relief, so I didn't do one. HOWEVER. My surgery was originally supposed to be at the end of October and on the day of surgery my flight was cancelled and I couldn't get to Mexico due to Sandy. On THAT day, after starving myself on yogurt for 3 days combined with the HUGE disappointment of not having surgery that day, I did say screw it and ate some bad stuff. And it wasn't even GOOD bad stuff, it was DENNY's people. UGH. It was the closest thing to the airport and I was huuungry.

I guess that's sort of what I had today :(. I was just filled with a mix of overwhelming emotions. This is getting really real and there's no turning back now.

kinda sorta... I work in a convenience store and there were some new Snacks that I was really wanting to try but I had been resisting them, telling myself "oh you can have that later if you really want it" .. so the day before I started my diet, I just went ahead and tried them because I knew it would bother me not knowing what they tasted like.

Also I'm allowed salads right up until my 3 day liquid starts so I'm going to REALLY take advantage of that since it might be a while before my tummy can handle greens!

      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.
