I Am 3 1/2 Weeks Away! I Am Eating Everything

[Nita1019 23]

Did anyone else do this? I am having a hard time with eating everything and more it my sugar is all over the place. I start my liquid diet next Friday and i am ready for that. But food i can't get enough

It's normal I think. I did the same thing and now seven days post op. I even got some friends together and had a food funeral. Doctors would advise against it but I think a lot of us realize you won't be able to eat like that again and start to eat as much as you can.

Yes!!! My last meal was a box of pizza picked up. I ate it while my husband was driving on the way to th movies to get popcorn - i ate all of that too along with a Icee. They are or should i say were my 3 favorite things!!!!

I've been tearing food up! I had my pre-surgery testing yesterday. When I was weighed, I realized why my knees have been screaming lately. The doctors do advise against it, but I take it as a mourning of sorts.

The support team at the hospital said it is normal. They call it the last meal syndrome lol. She did not say anything against it. But i have been so miserable the last two day i dont want to be there again. I only have 8 days till my liquid diet. I did this last mth also so hopefully i am done. Haha prob not!!!

I start my Protein shakes Monday for two weeks and I have been eating like crazy!! I feel like I need to eat all my favorites this weekend before I begin the shakes. Ugh!! Where to begin? lol

I am not looking forward to the next two weeks but I know it will all be worth it! Surgery is Monday, August 13.

Good luck to you all!

I havent really been eating everything, but I haven't really been watching what I eat either. But I don't have an official date yet, though I've been told by Aug. 15

So...i went in for my last appointment and I have gained 10 lbs since DEC when I first started. I too, have been eating away...mourning food. The nurse says she wants me back down to my original weigh in weight before they schedule me for surgery so I have to lose weight, even tho they are applying for approval tomorrow. Sadly I dont even know how to lose 10 pounds, help???!!!

I was thinking the same thing...It sucks, but it should get you where you need to be.

Nita1019, I'm so glad you posted this! My surgery should be in late august sometime and yet I'm not eating everything but I am definitely slacking and my will power to walk and exercise flew out the window. I was wondering if anybody experienced this "pre-op slacking" then I saw your post. Glad to hear it's normal but I hope I don't gain weight before my sugery.

My surgery is 8/10 so this week coming, I want to enjoy but not over do my most favorite foods.
