As anyone found that in the time between finding out you are having the surgery and the start of your pre-op diet, at they suddenly start wasting just for the sake of it? It's almost like I subconsciously am eating everything possible because I know that in a couple of weeks I will be unable to. I've gained so much weight, so very quickly. I'm also drinking a lot of alcohol too . But I just can't stop!!!

Darn auto correct!!!! It was meant to read "eating just for the sake of it" NOT "wasting"!!!

I'm right there with you....and I told myself I wouldn't do this! I'm not drinking alcohol though... I'm not really a drinker so its not something I will miss. But, I've been eating so much! I cannot wait til surgery!

I didnt gain weight but I did have what I call a food funeral, I chose one thing a day and tried to control eating just one serving of it..... all my favorite foods...... but the weird thing is that now being a month and a half out what I miss the most is vegtables/ salad and fruit..... I eat very little of it cause I mostly eat protien....

just ate nuggets and fries.....

I am right there with you!!! Alcohol and all. My surgery date is the 13th, so I start my pre op diet on Tuesday. I didn't realize it until just the other day, it was 2 or 3 days after I got my surgery date. I am hoping that I am able to get it under control and calm down. Good luck! I can't wait to see u on the losers bench

You have five children and you don't drink. geeze woman you must be a saint

I went bonkers for a while - ate everything in sight.....put on a few extra kgs very quickly. Now I'm finding I'm not really interested in food. No idea what's going on with that!

I'm due to be sleeved in about 2 1/2 weeks.

I did the same.

On my liq diet now. Yet, my Dr allows one meal a day with 2 shakes.

Suffering because I waited till the last minute to wean off Soda. The withdrawal headache is killing me.

I'm so glad to hear its not just me!! I'm popping out of my FAT clothes ughhhh. I feel like I am sooooo out of control. I HATE it

I ate a lot of favorites two weeks prior to surgery, but also knew that I had to drop some lbs. I was told that my doctor would be very displeased if I gained, and he is no bul!$. It was a balancing act to enjoy some things while not going crazy. Food had such control over my life that I couldn't reconcile limiting access to it. At the same time I was giving myself some tough love going through with the surgery. It was a leap of faith. You are the only one putting things in your mouth. That doesn't mean to be forever perfect, just make much better choices most of the time. I'll be going into my 6 th week and it is ok. I have yet to shed a single tear over food. What is challenging is working on the mental and emotional aspects of an addiction to food. I'm learning and growing and everything will be alright. It will be for you, too as you develop and work towards targets and goals. Be good to yourself in the process by thinking about what you are eating and why. For me, the further away from simple carbs I got, the easier the process became. Carbs are my crack.

I am right there with you, I have gained about 7 pounds in the last 2 months since seeing the surgeon and about 30 in the last 6 months going through the process...just cannot get it together.

A fatty liver will cause some surgeons to decline your operation. More fat weight usually means a much larger, fatter liver that can more easily be damaged and/ or make the surgical process more difficult working around it.

I ate at every fast food joint I could find the week before the liquid. It was a farewell to junk. Don't feel bad. Hope you enjoyed every bite:)

I thought I was alone, I'm trying really hard to get it together and do 1 treat a week of my favorite foods

Yes I did this...fell hard into last meal syndrome before the preop diet. My nutritionist saved me because if my surgeon would have been notified of the big gain he would have cancelled the surgery! :-( I reigned it in for the pre-op diet because I was soooo scared my liver would be too big for them to operate.

Thankfully it's been smooth sailing post op, but I'm honestly upset with myself for doing it because all it did was leave more weight to lose post op. I have a LOT to lose...I just added to it. For me especially, I feel silly because I haven't had any bad reactions to any foods and have no taste for most of the crap I was worried about missing.

Anyway, it definitely seems normal....lots of people post about it. Just be careful that it doesn't postpone your surgery.
