I've found that one disadvantage of letting folks know I'm have wls is now everyone wants to take me on one last hurrah. I'm getting comments like oh you won't be able to have this and that anymore. While its okay that folks want to socialize it is starting to become an issue to try and accommodate the request. It's gotta a bit political at work and folks I'd like to see I might not be able to since preop starts next Wednesday. Oh well if I don't get to eat with folks it's a good prep for postop times.

Anyone else getting the let's eat for goodness sake?

It's like offering a lung cancer patient one last cigarette.

You will be able to eat again. I would decline.

At 10 months, there's nothing I can't eat. I just can't hold as much. So you won't have to give up your favorite foods for very long. But you might be surprised, like I was, that you no longer want those old foods and actually crave healthier options.

Here's my video on food funerals.

I have to tell you that this video made me feel so relieved. In going to use your method. As I listened to the video I did exactly as you told and was able to feel my chest loosen. Thanks so much for sharing

I went to my pre-op appt yesterday and the doctor says to me " do you know what you'll be having for your last meal?" And I told her that I won't be having a "last meal" because I'm ready for change..... I'm ready to get healthier and don't want to go crazy... U know?

      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.
