For those of you who did not have "food funerals":



Recommended Posts

This wasn't your last Christmas dinner, restaurants will always be around, food will always be here. I decided before my pre op that I had to get my head in the game and commit to this. I did my pre op 12/16-12/26 and I kept telling myself that it's food, obviously I've had it yes some food smells really good but so does my car air freshener and my perfume and I don't have to eat that! I take it one day at a time. I'm 1 week post op and have no cravings. I'm glad I didn't have a food funeral. Food has always been my crutch and I'm glad I've decided to drop it like a bad boyfriend and move on. Good luck on whatever you decide. Keep your head in the game, find a new hobby and you'll do great!

No regrets here.

I did not have a food funeral, but I did have one of these bad boys from Chick-Fil-A a couple days before starting the liquid diet:

I'm on full liquids, so right now my cravings change from hour-to-hour, but I've not had any problems seeing them as just that - cravings.

      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.
