    For those who have yet to have surgery, keep in mind that you will not feel the same way about food after your surgery. For me after taking a drastic step to have the surgery...I really don't want to put something in my mouth and stomach that is going to undo all of the hard work of myself,the surgeon and the rest of the team of medical professionals that have helped me along the way.

    I am not gonna lie. I am totally having a food funeral. I think it is important for me to do it , like closure. I have until Friday and then I am going to start the pre- op because my sleeve date is 9/12. I am not eating too crazy but I am eating whatever I want for B, L and D. I eat healthy B all the time and always have so I am continuing with that but I am more lenient on myself for L and I get whatever I want for dinner. I still need some surf and turf and Indian food. Gotta lay them down to rest !! I know I will technically be able to eat whatever I want in small portions in the future but I am not planning too. Once I start slipping it can be a bad road for me .

    I did the exact same way that you are doing....I feel like it helped me. I am 2 weeks post op today. Those last few yummy meals I had before starting liquids helped me look ahead to the days when I won't be eating as much. Food funeral was great for me. To be honest I really have not had any cravings at this point. I have been researching healthy recipes for when I do start back eating. Best wishes to you!!

    Got about a week to go a little nervous but I did very well pre surgery with diet lost about 35 lbs now after nutrition class it almost makes you want to eat a few things cause u wont be able to for awhile. Dont want to indulge but did anyone like go out to dinner or something prior to the 2 day liquid diet prior to surgery? I havent endulged at all within last 3 months kind of feel like its now or never lol


    I admit I did have one of my favorite meals a few days before I started the liquids....to be honest I am so glad I did! I am one week postop at this point.

    How long does the whole procedure take? Everyone is saying something different. Some say two hours some say an hour some say right in the middle. How did you feel right after it????


    It can vary due to your recovery in the post o.o area, it took me longer to get awake so my family was away from me for a total of 4 hours where it been stated it would have been 2 hours. When I arrived to my room I was still a bit out of it but knew what was going on. I got more awake about 3 hours after that and the nurse walked with me in the hallway...my surgery was afternoon. Hope that helps some.

    Wishing you all the best today! Keep in mind to walk as soon as someone ask you too...the first couple of times will be a bit rough but you will be glad you did. Also, remember that your weight will go up initially due to the I v solution they will be giving you, it may take several days for your body to flush that out.

    I'm scheduled for surgery tomorrow. Check in is at 11:20. I was lucky and didn't have to start a liquid diet until today. So far it's G2G and chicken broth. Good vibes to all.

    Congratulations on your surgery!! I had surgery this past week, so the best advice I can give you other than sip sip is walk anytime someone ask you about getting up and about.
