Many of us had food funerals before surgery. Mine wasn't a crazy binge load up of food. Just pizza and coke.

I had something like four final meals: two were fettucine Alfredo, one was steak and baked potato, and one was a cheeseburger--if I'd been hungry enough, I would have made onion rings.

Tonight's meal was a cheeseburger, too, and I'd definitely eat steak again. But I don't plan on having fettucine Alfredo again. Although, to be fair, I've discovered high-protein Pasta made with lentils, so I could probably make something pretty similar without feeling too guilty!

I had so many food funerals. Went to burger king, had that 2 for 6 whopper thing or however much that thing is, with 2 fries and an onion ring with a soda. Lol

Then I made homemade Mac and cheese. Ate that. Had shrimp and scallop Alfredo with garlic bread. Ate that. Made me some chocolate cake, went to Walmart one week, got them big double chocolate muffins and tore them up. Ate all but one of them. Some other time before that, I got cheesecake. A whole thing of it. Ate it. Lol

I was a mess and miraculously only Gained like 5 lbs. I made everything I loved within the 5 months I went through the process. A few days before my surgery, I completely stopped all of that and just ate light.

You could definitely say I loaded up. I have no shame in admitting I did because whatever I did eat in those 5 months, I told my surgeon about it. I don't lie about what I eat, not even to this day. 🙂

I had 2 food funerals before I started my preop diet. I had a dominoes pepperoni pizza with cheese stuffed crust and garlic and herb dip. The next night I had a rare steak in blue cheese sauce with seasonal veg, mashed potato with butter and onion rings followed by crème brulee with shortbread biscuit. I absolutely don't regret it. I enjoyed every mouthful and I know I will not be able to have these things again - certainly not in the quantities or the fat/sugar levels I had before.

I only had a 24 hour clears diet pre op. I had about a weeks worth of last meals. Luckily I had already changed enough of my eating habits that I had a small portion of each, but got in all my favorites I wouldn’t eat in a while. Steak, greasy Mexican, pizza...

Had my surgery right after the holidays, so thanksgiving and Christmas were my final "bad" meals. I skipped dessert but didn't skip the gravy, potatoes and stuffing!!

No I didn't. Before liquid diet. I had a crustless chicken and mayo sandwich. Now 7 months post. I'm glad I didnt have a food funeral because I'm in Control. I can eat what I want but don't want what I shouldn't. But if I do I'll have it. I had the skin of a KFC drumstick not long ago. Lol sounds funny when I think about it.

I went out to pizza with my family and had three big slices and a large salad from the salad bar. It was a pleasent evening and I went into the liquid diet feeling good.

      Sometimes reading the posts here make me wonder if some people just weren't mentally ready for WLS and needed more time with the bariatric team psychiatrist. Complaining about the limited drink/food choices early on... blah..blah...blah. The living to eat mentality really needs to go and be replaced with eating to live. JS

        We have to remember that everyone moves at their own pace. For some it may be harder to adjust, people may have other factors at play that feed into the unhealthy relationship with food e.g. eating disorders, trauma. I'd hope those who you are referring to address this outside of this forum, with a professional.


        This is a place to feel safe to vent, seek advice, hopefully without judgement.


        Compassion goes a long way :)

        Seems it would be more compassionate not to perform a WLS on someone until they are mentally ready for it. Unless of course they are on death's door...

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.
