Final Food Goodbyes

[twsport 45]

So am I the only one, or are there others that have decided to eat the few things that they are truly going to miss before starting the pre-op diet? I have gone out and got things like cashews, Madelines, Hawaiian Maui Onion chips, Broccoli and Beef... I am not a big foodie, but there are a few things in life that I love very much. I know there will come a day where I will get to eat, even if in small doses, some of things that I like. Some people call it a food funeral, but I just call it a goodbye to a few friends.

I did that too. I didn't think I overdid it that much but I gained 7.5 lbs in about a month! I did have fudge my last weekend so it is mostly to blame.

I'm being really good about a low carb diet to loose weight pre op but I allow myself one cheat meal a week and I make it worth it. I don't go out and consume 3000 calories by any means, but I shared my favorite Pasta dish and Tiramisu with my sister in law last night. What's funny is during my "fork soft" (which runs week 2-10) I joked that my nut said "the fork has to go to the plate" and it easily did that with the tiramisu.

I went and had spicy chinese the other night, though we really only eat it once every few months I wanted to have it one last time in-case I can't eat it in the distant future. I've read a lot of people have a hard time with both chinese food and spicy foods (I will be so sad if I can no longer stomach spicy foods) post-op that I wanted to enjoy it while I could. I plan to have fast food one last time, one last meal where I have a beer/appetizer/entree/dessert/coffee with my fiance at Longhorn Steakhouse and I'll probably have some m&m's and a pepsi before I start my pre-op diet at the beginning of July.

I too am eating some of my favorite things. Cheeseburger, check. Rib Eye steak, check. Mexican, check. Just leaves Chinese, that'll be this weekend. No real pre-op diet required here. Just a really strict liquid diet for the 24hrs prior to surgery. I am scheduled for this coming Monday. I don't see it as a food funeral either. For me it's sort of like the day I dropped my daughter off at college her freshman year. So long for now, while realizing that what is about to happen is a life changing event and things will never be the same. Onward and upward I say. Excited about personal growth opposed to physical growth. YAY!!!

I was dieting so I didn't really do that but I am on my preop for a week more (1 week down) and I want the food everyone else is eating....

Oh we'll... I am trying to lose what my surgeon wanted to if I had eaten some f the food I might have set myself back. *sighs*
