I start my pre op diet on the 25th!!! How many of you shoved food down knowing you wouldn't be able to for awhile? Lol because I'm considering it but nervous because I dont want to gain weight back that I've lost due to having to for insurance.

Lol im on my day 7 of preop! Its easier now than it was. The first few days was the hardest!

Good luck on on yours (:

Oh I did . I don't even eat McDonalds normally but my "last fat meal" was a Big Mac and large fry . I don't know why I picked that out of all the food but it just seemed "right"'. I was having Mini food funerals for about two weeks though. Of course now none of those foods are appealing. I didn't have to lose weight though. In fact I had to gain 8lbs in order to qualify mainly due to my height since I had no comorbidities.

Yep - same here! Before the pre-op diet I ate a big ol' burger with all the toppings and fries. I also had a chinese food funeral, and I forget, I think there was one other food type that I indulged in. But I still lost about 5 pounds in the couple months before pre-op and then about 15 on the 2-week pre-op. After surgery I was really glad I'd done that. It helped me to feel less deprived later.

Ty (: I agree. I also want to have a very safe surgery! Ill def keep posting. I'm so ready for this change! I have been big m whole life. Never had any medical problems so I'm lucky in that sense but I loathe being so unhappy with myself. I looked into surgery for a couple years before I even went to see the doc. And then I got pregnant and after I had the baby I went back right away! And that's how I got approved for surgery because right after I had him my bmi was over 40 but before it was 38 so I was almost there anyways. I'm scared in some ways and ik its going to take time to adjust but I feel it's a great choice to a better life

you can di it!!!!

I found out after lunch on the 25th that my pre-op diet was to start on the 25th. So what did I do? I went out for Mexican food that night! I figured that since I had already eaten two meals that day, I might as well get the last thing off my "have to have it before surgery list" Luckily, my list wasn't too long! I also ate some of the pies that my daughter bought from the culinary school for Thanksgiving. She had picked them up that day. A nice finish to the Mexican food ! Since then, I've been toeing the pre-op diet line!

I'm on day 11 of this pre op diet. It's harder than I ever thought but I'm making it through
