Pre-op face-stuffing food funeral



Recommended Posts

What the heck is wrong with me? I lose almost 20 lbs pre-op, have a final weigh-in on Monday, and I just sat down for my first facestuffing contest with chips, licorice, and soda? Who is this person? I've been going so strong for a month now!

JITTERSSSSSSSSS

Don't be too hard on yourself. A lot of us have done the same thing!

Don't worry I did it to. I will this weekend too. I have lost 23 pounds. Every time I do it I feel like I am sabotaging myself. My pre-op diet starts next Tuesday, I figure if I gain anything I will lose it during that week. I haven't been weighed at the doctors office since April. I am pretty sure I will be weighed at my pre-op on the 19th.

Nothing is wrong with you! As soon as I got my date, I literally planned a food funeral! My coworkers cooked and brought in all of my favorites and we had a great time with it! Doing so accomplished two things...1) it let everyone that I work with know that my process had begun and after the food funeral I would need their support in my efforts to be healthy. 2) it let me mentally and physically put to rest all of the foods that helped me get into the situation that I am in (morbid obesity). Not to say temptation won't come, but having the formality of it really helped me. And oddly enough, I couldn't eat nearly as much as I would have liked to!

      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.
