did anyone have a food funeral?



Recommended Posts

I am not a big sweet eater, but ever since I was told to replace two meals with Protein Shakes starting Monday. I have been eating sweets like crazy. Mainly Cookies. Has anyone else been through something similar? Did you have a last meal? I said goodbye to the unhealthy stuff by eating some shrimp and grits.

I didn't think of it as a food funeral but in a way I guess you are right. Yes I did for me it was nachos, wings, deep fried pickles and beer. I said good-bye. I had the meal with a friend of mine that we have been through so many of life's challenges together. We discussed those times and what we could to as substitutions for eating. It was an enjoyable evening, but we both agreed we look forward to trying out some of our other possibilities. I had to laugh when out to lunch with a couple other friends earlier in the week. In jest, one said "instead of eating you can take up knitting." We got a good chuckle out of that. As I appreciate the talents and creativity of those that can knit I am not one of those people. I'll will be searching for alternatives.

I'm still 37 days out but I have a "bucket list" of foods and restaurants I want to hit before I have surgery. It's probably a bad idea but I figured it's saying goodbye to a good friend :-(

I did. but i didn't go nuts because I was afraid that I wouldn't loose enough and be denied for my insurance.and the day my insurance approved me was the same day that I had to start my two week diet. There are a few things that I'm dying for a bite of now but don't want to go in that direction.

I went through the same thing for almost a week I ate everything I love because I felt like a prisoners last meal. Looks like this is pretty normal from the sounds of the other posts. glad I am not the only one who got a little out of control at first.

I did but didn't go overboard because that would only add on more weight for me to lose before my surgery on the 26th. I started my liver shrink diet on the 12th and this is day three. I am down four pounds already.

Well, my food funerals are over, I had to start my preop diet. I started it on 3/10 and have already lost 7 pounds. Good luck to everyone on their preop diets.

It's going pretty good. I cheated tonight, cause my hubby got off work really late. I know that's no excuse, but I am human. Tomorrow will be a new day and I can start the process again. The last time I weighed I had lost ten pounds. I don't want to become obsessed with the scale, so I try to stay off it. I go back to see the doctor and dietitian on the 7th of April. I will be happy if I just lost a couple of pounds. A little is better than none. I have learned that this process isn't going to be easy. I have issues with "head hunger". Plus I think I have eat when I am bored. I can get thru this though. I know I'm not alone in this battle. How are you doing?

I am having the dilemma with watching what I'm eating vs is it really worth it? We are going on vacation in June and all I keep thinking about are the places that I love to eat! My 6th month of the 6 month diet is June. So, of course, I don't want to go nuts. However, at the same time I am quite certain that my willpower may have some faults that week. Sometimes it's so hard to say no. I'm thinking moderation is the key. A couple bites will ease the craving but not kill my weight loss. No more larges for me!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
