Anyone feel like they've been eating uncontrollably since deciding to get the surgery, almost like i'll never be able to eat like this again so I should enjoy it now.

Still going through it? Snapped out of it? Please share your experience/tips on getting out of this mindset

Well I have taken a huge step. I have listed my food for the next 21/2 months. If its in my planner it happens. As I am writing it all down I know sugar free jello and pops are unlimited. But is it really. I look at the diet and am concerned about the evenings. It's usually a really hard time for me.

I struggle the most on the weekends. My funerals are 1st there is a place here in Springfield called Cody's and their ribeye steak ssandwich with homemade fries and my 2nd is Casey's pizza.

Can someone clarify the process? Once u decide on the surgery with your doctor then what... Tests or a diet come next??? I gear people say 6 months supervised diet and others say 2 weeks... Very confused

My insurance required a six month supervised diet as well. My doc only required a 2 week pre-op diet and a 2 day liquid diet. I can't imagine doing a two week liquid diet. It was hard doing 2 days.

After the mandatory informational session, I met with the doctor, who gave me a shopping list of tests and appointments I had to get through......and I had to meet with a nutritionist 3 times during a 3 month period.....some people have a 6 or 12 month requirement (depends on your insurance)

once I got through that, we applied for appoval to the insurance, almost 2 weeks later, it was approved, and I was able to get a surgery date 2 weeks later.............the surgery date is dependent upon your schedule and your doctor's schedule.....your surgeon may not have openings for a month............everyone's experience is different......

I was not put on a diet by the nutritionist....we only discussed post op diet....the surgeon put on a 2 week preop Protein shake diet

If you haven't already, call your insurance company and get a copy of their requirements for WLS approval.......good luck!

I am 4 weeks out from surgery (Oct.22) and I have an appt. on the 10th to get all the pre-op tests and instructions. However this weekend I said goodbye to foods I liked. Hamburger with cheese and bacon and apple pie. Saturday I had steak, baked potato w/sour cream & Brussels sprouts. Sunday I had lobster bisque, fish, red-skinned mashed potatoes. chocolate cake & Hagen Das dulce de leche ice cream.

Now I am trying to follow the soft food portion of the post surgery diet. I want to practice getting 50 grams of Protein and 64 ounces of liquid in a day. This is my training for the actual new way of eating and drinking.

I actually stop at popeyes about two weeks ago. I did not feel guilty because I ate small portions and ate one bite of biscuit ...the rest went straight to the trash. I was so happy on my small portions. I decided to go walking and i love walking so much. I have not thought about any funeral food.

I have lost 15 lbs and I have 2 months to go. I've been eating my favorites on the weekends. Not every weekend though.

Pequods....mmmmmm!

My two week pre-op diet starts tomorrow. We grilled cheeseburgers for dinner tonight, I'll consider that my version of food funeral. I'm ready for this!

My insurance required a six month supervised diet as well. My doc only required a 2 week pre-op diet and a 2 day liquid diet. I can't imagine doing a two week liquid diet. It was hard doing 2 days.

My Dr. requires me to do a 14 day liquid diet. This will be hard on me because state fair is coming to town and my son and I love college football games. No turkey leg. No funnel cake. No corn dogs. No popcorn. Whew! This will be the most greatest challenge I've ever experienced. I'm prepared for this game because I want to lose!!!!!
