Pigging out before LIQUID DIET?

[jc4444 120]

Just wanna know if I'm not the only one that ate all they could before the liquid diet.

I'm going crazy with food right now, eating out and all that I can. I start my liquid diet on March 13th and get sleeved on the 20th...

I had a 10 day pre-op diet, but it wasn't just liquids. Prior to that, I made a list of all the stuff I wanted to eat before surgery. In the 2 weeks before I started the pre-op diet, I ate stuff off of that list! I didn't binge, but I ate what I wanted with no guilt!

People call them food funerals. And yes a lot of people do them. I had one, I bought a pint of really good ice cream and came home and ate it..

And after? Nothing..it was just gone, nothing more.

You WILL be able to eat again so please don't think that you are saying goodbye to food forever.

Plus gaining more weight will just make you more miserable and leave you with more weight to lose

You are definitely not alone for about a month before we had to start our pre-op liquid diet my best friend and I even came up with a list of what our "last meal" should be! Of course we couldn't decide on just one place so it turned into a month long feast of last meals! haha! Most people will tell you that you shouldn't do it and you need to start improving your eating habits now but to be honest i think it helped me get the craving for those foods out of my system especially those foods that I knew for certain i would never again be able to enjoy because they were just that unhealthy! One thing i do suggest though is that maybe you start to look for healthier alternatives on the menu that you might be able to enjoy post op. Good Luck

I agree with you all! I know I'm not gonna miss these days, bc nothing has really changed for me over the past few years bc of it. Failed diets and overeating until I'm full is the story of my life. I havnt been under 200 pounds since elementary school. My peak was 270, I lost 60 pounds on ephedra back in 2003, but the side effects were driving me insane. I gained 40 pounds back after a bad accident and been fluctuating between 230 and 250 ever since.

My biggest reason for the sleeve was my health. A cholesterol level of 240 for the past 6 years is on a highway to triple bypass and who knows what else.

I walk my dogs 3-5 days a week for at least 2 miles, and I usually get a little run in with 2 German shepherds. But... With eating out of control and never being full it's a loose...loose situation. I left this decision up to God, I prayed about it and God blessed me with the finances to pay for it. I feel no doubts about the sleeve, except waiting so long to get it.

I was scheduled for the lap band last year, but was scared away after hearing a lot of people were not successful with it and the side effects are just a nightmare.

I love this forum, THANK YOU ALL FOR HELPING EACH AND EVERYONE WITH ANSWERS, REPLIES AND SUPPORT!!! Y'ALL ARE EXQUISITELY AWESOME AND IM VERY THANKFUL OF EACH AND EVERYONE OF YOU!

I've been tempted... and I did indulge in a cadbury creme egg lol but I'm trying to do my best to really avoid having any real food funerals. Sticking to a diet that will be similar to a post surgery life. Figure it's best to throw myself in. Full commitment, no negotiating. I'm not giving up food. Just learning to love it in a new healthier way! Plus, any weight I can lose before surgery will lower my risk of complications and ease recovery... So win win!!

[tracyhelen 35]

I am really bad at diets I hope I lose some weight before surgery.

[Kristina J. 581]

I'm horrible at diets!!! Lol I'll probably GAIN... But I'm gonna try. Cadbury eggs are part of a healthy diet right?! Everyone is always talking about how eggs are a good source of Protein. I think I may have this diet thing nailed.

[tracyhelen 35]

Hard boiled egg with salt and pepper is good.
