Ok... my surgery date is June 20th. I know some people will tell me and warn me.... but I'm eating a bit like every meal is the last supper. What was you experience pre-surgery with eating?

I did eat several meals like that too but didn't overdo it. If u want it, have it but remember u still have to lose I started the pre op diet a little early to get used to the portions so I wasn't she'll shocked

I called in November to make my surgery appointment for February 13th. Before I got to the pre op diet, I gained 10 pounds. I KNEW certain foods would haunt me if I didn't have it ONE more time. Krispy Kreme, a Mc D's double cheese (a few of those over that time), fried chicken, biscuits and gravy, Rio Grande Mud Pie from Flying Star (here in ABQ.) to name a few. I only have ONE thing haunting me. I saw a multi layered red velvet cake just OOOOZING with cream cheese frosting (one of my FAVORITES) sitting in the case at Flying Star, and I was going to go back and get some and never did. I still see it sitting there looking oozy and delicious. I think I made myself sick a couple of times during this sorta manic phase I went through. It was not the best thing I could have done, but i don't completely regret it because it made me see the need for change even more so.

I don't even think about those foods anymore, really. (just that red velvet! Even that is not a big deal though) Talk about your food funerals. SHEESH. I really outdid myself!!

I can't say "NO, DON'T do it!" Because you have to do what you have to do to make yourself ok with this. I lost 15 lbs on the pre op liquids, but only 5 was "new" loss. Oh well. I'm on the downhill now, and life is new again!

I have a box of that darn red velvet in my pantry that's been haunting me too! Someday...sometime right?

OMG I thought I was the only one!!! My surgery date is April 27th and although I mentally want to start eating right I physically cant... This is the time that i knew I was an addict becuase now they told me to watch what I eat and prepare for life after surgery my mind wont let me! I mind keeps playing tricks on me LOL. but maybe when it comes closer My mind will let me start with a healthier path, well at least I hope so!!!

Hehe. In the two weeks prior to my surgery (I didn't have a pre-op diet), I basically enjoyed what I could. I didn't grossly overeat but I treated myself out to a few dinners and ordered dessert just so I would get my "fix" in. Ironically, I ended up losing about ten pounds doing that. Don't know why but I'm still laughing about it.
