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

      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.
