Eating like a mad woman.

[cescelli 46]

I start my clear liquid diet on the 14th. I have been eating like crazy. Anyone else having the same problem?

Yep I was trying to get everything in I wouldn't be having later. Or for a long time at least. I've heard it called food funerals.

[cescelli 46]

I'm glad I'm not the only one. Lol

you have the "last meal" syndrome. its all in your head..your thinking is eat now because some extreme changes are about to happen. my surgeon warned me off the "last supper" syndrome and he told me to avoid it...i did farely well, and avoided it. whos to say if it helped anything or not

YES I DID! ALL THIS PAST WEEKEND. Started the pre-op diet Monday only to be told I had been postponed another week. So, here I go again. ONLY, this time, I'm not going to do the pigging out this time around. I was miserable Monday morning and had gained 4 lbs.........ugh

I'm too scared to weigh myself. Ugh. I'm going to stop this madness I've never eaten like this in my life.

Pre-opper here...I've been trying really hard to eat well most meals, but realize there are foods that are going to be off limits after surgery. For the most part, I haven't been doing a lot of fatty foods. So...

We went out to dinner last night. At this restaurant, they make a really good sandwich called the chicken Ranch Club (chicken breast, slice of cheese, bacon, lettuce, tomotao and ranch dressing on a bun). I thought "I should get that" because it's something I won't be able to have post-op, probably ever. So, I threw on some tator tots as well.

OMG - I was so uncomfortable on the way home. It was like there was a balloon in my stomach. I felt horrible all night and into this morning.

Needless to say, I can bid farewell to the Chicken Ranch Club and probably never think about it again. I threw up in my mouth a little just thinking about last night's experience.

The dietician at my surgeons office actually told us all (our Optifast class) before we started our Optifast diets to hit our favorite restaurants and everything like that not only as a celebration for making it through the six month diet, but also as a way to get the 'cheating' out of our systems before going all liquid for 2, 4, or 6 weeks prior to surgery.

I am doing the same thing. I feel gross. It's like I feel like I need to get it in before next Tuesday. That's when I start my pre op diet. I just had McDonald's and ice cream . Ughhh.so yes I am having the same problem.

[pjackson0523 158]

I don't know anything about 6 month diet either.

Before starting my pre-op, I did the same if not worse. I felt disgusting afterwards... I had more meals than necessary and stuffed myself whether I was alone or not. But other than feeling disgusted about myself and gaining a few more pounds before pre-op, I don't think it affected me in a bad way, I still did very good in my pre-op

So, you're five days out, how are you feeling?

[cathycnyrs 85]

I have ate everything, and think I am finally full! I'm literally sick of food. I start pre-op, liquids only tomorrow - I'll probably feel different... however, tonight was the Grande Finale!
