I realized that i will not taste eat solid for at least 3 months. I am on day three of my 2 wk liquid diet after this i will still be on liquids because my surgery is in two weeks. i didnt get to say goodbye to food i should of had a steak and seafood dinner before liquid diet but he wanted me to start right away. OMG

But just think in 3 months you will be on the road to healthy happy and skinny!!! You can do this!!

There will be plenty of time for solid foods after... It's temporary and worth it. Keep ur eye on the prize:)

I had a whole food bucket list and my surgery was moved up two weeks and I had a weekend. It say goodbye it didnt feel like enough... so i cheated twice. The first time was just i felt deprived but the timeout cheated two days ago was awful my body rejected the solids and bad things happened from there. I think my main problem is I felt like I was divorcing food. I mourned the loss. We will make it together and you will get into that sexy holiday dress you've been excited about! You can do it!

Mourning food

I'm glad to hear someone say they too feel like they are mourning food! Don't get me wrong I am so ready for this journey and I know there will be hard times but I also know it will be worth it. But I do feel as though the ones around me have no idea what I'm fixing to go through. My surgery is sch for 9/12/12

Oh yes, mourning food is a big part of this process. I went through it. It's bitter and difficult, but you get over it after a while. I know it seems scary now, but you'll look back and be amazed at how much your outlook on food has changed so much for the better.

Some people have a food funeral before they start the pre-op diet. I tried that myself but it didn't help at all. In fact, it made me sad and I just wanted to eat more.

I guess that's what I've done this week. I have been to all my favorite restaurants to get my "last meal" in. Tonight is my final one as meal replacement shakes start tomorrow!

My surgery was Monday. I feel great. I don't miss food and boy I had a food obsession before. I did get all my favorites in before. Now I am happy with chicken broth. I have no hunger and needed to remember to feed my daughter (9 yrs). She is fed. Don't worry. But I used to live for what my next taste would be. Good luck

Hey that's my surgery date too. Good luck with yours!!!!

And too you also

Funny How they say not to have a last supper though most do. How can you not? had a cheese steak at the fair fully aware it is my last cheese steak for a long while, maybe ever and I'm okay with that. But since I only have those cheese steaks once a year at that fair, I would felt deprived if I didn't have it.
