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.

Wish I could go back to my food funeral and eat even MORE! I’m a month plus out on my bypass and I can barely eat 300-500 cals a day and I deff can’t eat the stuff I love but that’s the plan. 30+lbs down in a month

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
