Food funerals are not fun



Recommended Posts

Preop here guys. I’ve made a huge mistake. I had my last weigh in, got my surgery date and insurance approved it. Then I went a little nuts this week. I’ve had onion rings, greasy sandwiches, hot dogs, chips, sugary cocktails, root beer, pizza, chicken strips, ice cream..... and right now I’m paying for it. My stomach hurts. My body is saying “WTF are you doing?! Why would you stop eating this crap for 6 months only to turn around and binge on it?”

I hope I remember how this feels a week, a month, a year from now. That crap food and sugar was not worth it.

Sometimes you've just gotta get it out of your system. But, my goodness, you were enthusiastic! Hope you feel better soon.

A little Masonic,maybe some Tums, but most important a resolve that this kind of sin against yourself, and did you notice. those onions rings and ice cream isn't suffering, but you are?
Say KCGirl WE ARE NOT GOING THERE AGAIN and hold yourself to the promise. This proves your stomach was willing to stay "in training" even if your mind was weak. You(and me also) have come so far,neither of us wants to turn back to blimpdom-Forward to the finish! Do you agree? Good because I'm marching right along side and we can be strong together! Surgery Ho the Wagons!🙆& 🙆

You're not the only one that's done this... most of us have. Now, get back on track and meet us on the loser's bench.

I've been there too. Currently on the second day of my liquid diet. I feel like the food funerals were a learning experience for me. Like you, I got sick and didn't feel pleasant afterwards. I just thought to myself "Was eating whatever I craved worth it?" and I can always say no. Now while I'm doing this liquid diet and wanting to cheat I just remember how sick that my last binge made me.

Don't worry, you'll get on track again. Just learn from this and use it to your advantage.

      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.
