I am going to be starting my preop diet on Monday. I have surgery on May 7th with Dr. Garcia in Tijuana. I am starving all the time and it gets worse the closer I get to my preop diet day. Did anyone feel like they had to eat everything they see or think of before their surgery. This is ridiculous and it is starting to make me extremely mad at myself. I am eating until I am miserable anything and everything. My husband thinks I have lost my mind lol. So someone tell me have I lost my mind or this normal for the pre vsg patient?

My surgery is June 10th

I will pray that your husbands stops feeding you lol. Good luck with the surgery June will come quicker than you think.

Thanks what worries me, is how im going to break gim of this habit! He's already expressed worry about me "getting skinny" and leaving him...I told him he wont get that lucky lol I lost a lot of weight 2 yrs ago, and that issue never came up. Hmmm

I wonder if he knows this time the weight will stay off and you will get to a healthy and attractive weight at the same time. The thought of dieting is always knowing in the back of your mind that it will eventually come back. The thought of surgery is the odds are it won't ever come back. This is probably a worry for him. Your changing your lifestyle so he is worried he will be one of the things that are changed. That is my psychological advice and thought for the day thank you lol

This is a food funeral happening. Once u get sleeved, no worries bc the weight will come off. You food tastes will change. U will be ok. Thank u for sharing.

I agree it is little food funerals lol.

It is official I have eaten everything I can get my hands on but it might be for the best. I am so sick of food that the thought of eating now makes me feel sick. This could be a good start to a preop diet with little food. I do not want to eat anything else I am done. I am miserable and I do not like lol.

BMJ were you still hungry after surgery? I sure hope I am not hungry at all.

To be honest right after surgery I was starving, I was on Clear liquids for 1 wk and thought I was going to die, but I made it and did not cheat I thought for a second my dr. didnt remove enough of my stomach or something i had no feeling of fullness just an empty hungry feeling so it was hell in my opinion, but after that the second week i moved up to pureed foods which i really didnt puree i just chewed really well and found out the hard way I have a new stomach couldnt even eat a whole scrambled egg after that I've been fine ever since!

Wow that is scary. I do not want to be hungry and starving after surgery. I hope the wanting feeling goes away. That would be pure hell to be so hungry. I am so glad you are doing well now though. Good luck with the weight loss and I hope it keeps falling off.

I have been eating some foods, knowing I will not eat them after surgery... or at least in the quantities I am consuming them!

On Saturday I had a cheese, onion, potato pastie, it was soooo good! LOL

Then Sunday we went to a sushi buffet!

Then last night I just had penne vodka! LOL

I start my pre-op diet on friday, so just enjoying my last week!

I started my preop yesterday. It is not very fun lol.

I know you've probably heard this a thousand times, but it gets easier about the 3rd or 4th day. It's still the hardest part of this whole surgery process. If you can make it through that, the rest is easy.

It took nine days for it to get easier for me. I had a complete meltdown on day 9....then calm.....everything's been good since that day.

Thanks everyone.

A friend of mine who recently had sleeve surgery called it her food bucket list. I hadn't really thought of that and didn't think I wanted to go that route because eating has not been a friend to me....but I did find a week or so ago that I bought a couple things to eat that I would never have allowed myself before. I guess it's part of the process.

Yeah I called it food funerals. It was kind of liberating though because I could actually eat something without the guilt behind it. Then it just became to much then I still felt guilty.
