... begins and ends today. I really want sauerkraut and pork!

Did anyone else have an "official" food funeral? An unintentional food funeral? No food funeral at all?

Tomorrow I begin my preop diet. I plan to focus on a very regimented and structured preop diet to maximize my efforts.

Wish me luck!

For about a week before my preop I ate things I knew I could maybe never eat again or at least it would be quite a while. Im 6 weeks post op now and can eat pretty much anything just not much of it at a time so i I eat my protein first then veggies I didnt go through this to eat junk and be unhealthy still.I nhaven't tried anything sweet and really have no desire for it right now.

I did indeed have a food funeral. For a week or two after I scheduled my surgery, I also ate things that I knew I would likely either never eat again (because they're trigger foods for me) or at least not for a long time. I went from 238.8 the day of booking to around 245 and now I'm working on getting back down again before my surgery!

I lived a big part of my life as if every day was a food funeral, so I think by the time I actually booked the surgery it was just relief, so I didn't do one. HOWEVER. My surgery was originally supposed to be at the end of October and on the day of surgery my flight was cancelled and I couldn't get to Mexico due to Sandy. On THAT day, after starving myself on yogurt for 3 days combined with the HUGE disappointment of not having surgery that day, I did say screw it and ate some bad stuff. And it wasn't even GOOD bad stuff, it was DENNY's people. UGH. It was the closest thing to the airport and I was huuungry.

I guess that's sort of what I had today . I was just filled with a mix of overwhelming emotions. This is getting really real and there's no turning back now.

kinda sorta... I work in a convenience store and there were some new Snacks that I was really wanting to try but I had been resisting them, telling myself "oh you can have that later if you really want it" .. so the day before I started my diet, I just went ahead and tried them because I knew it would bother me not knowing what they tasted like.

Also I'm allowed salads right up until my 3 day liquid starts so I'm going to REALLY take advantage of that since it might be a while before my tummy can handle greens!

I love salad and veggies. Roasting some Brussels sprouts now.
