Is anyone having a food funeral?



Recommended Posts

My surgery is March 19, I have been on liquid pre-op since Jan. 10, I have lost 26 pounds even though I was never told to lose any weight. To begin with I was barely a 40 BMI which is what my insurance requires. Now that my surgery is right around the corner I have been breaking the diet periodically. I plan on getting back on track tonight for dinner and then all tomarrow. Monday is my bowl prep day so I surely wont break it that day. I, of course have been feeling guilty but at the same think I should live it up while I can. Am I wrong?

I'm scheduled for April 1st, I've thought about it, but afraid if I gain any weight my doctor won't do the surgery....well I did have a coke with my dinner last night instead of Water, but surely that doesn't count haha.

I did my food funeral before starting my pre op diet.. I was on that for a week.. so the day before that started.. I went to texas roadhouse for a nice prime rib lol... but the beauty of it all.. I can only now eat a 1/3 of that if even that.. still will be tasty..but just will have lots of leftovers for sure.. havent been out to eat yet.. still enjoying the fact I cannot eat much at all..and how much food doesnt interest me at all anymore...

I wish I knew then what I know now! I went crazy before my pre-op diet and gained 12 pounds because I was freaking out about never eating again like I want! Fettuccine Alfredo,pizza ,chips, some more chips LOL subs... I'm 3 months post op and If I did it all over again I would have not done it like that. Today I can eat fettuccine Alfredo,pizza,chips the only difference is the amount! congrats on your upcoming surgery this is gonna be the best thing you have ever done for you self

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
