Completely and totally...yes I did. Not that I am recommending it.

I don't have a surgery date yet..still waiting for insurance approval...but I have been pigging out at the thought of it..lol. I really gotta stop!!

Of course!!! I called it my last supper lol...however, I'm 3 days into low carb diet and I'm doing well a little tired of vegetables but loving the meat. Next Thursday I start full liquid with surgery sch for March 26th. I can't wait!!!

I'm doing some "food funerals" now to begin preparing myself. I'm saying goodbye to foods that I really should not and probably won't be able to eat after surgery. :)

Yup, count me in on that one!

It's taken me a few weeks, but I have started to come to terms with what the future holds and I'm ready to get started with eating healthily even if the liquid diet is still a few weeks away. I think I needed to say goodbye.

Started my liquid diet yesterday, I definitely ate at all my favorite restaurants within the last week!

I really didn't have a food funeral. My problem is Diet Coke. I stopped that the day before surgery. I just found 6 cans of soda I had forgotten about. They are still where I put them.

They are there for company, not me.

I will give you some advice. Before the pre-op started I said I'll have to hit all my favorite spots and have my farewells. Well that said and done I really wish I hadn't. It made me miserable the first week. When you make a sudden drop in calories going from 2,000+ and go to say 600-800. It really shocked my system. Day two I had the worst headache. Spent a good amount of time face down in the bathroom. Then from there felt very weak and like I had low blood sugar. I tested my levels and they weren't. If I could do it again I'd reign myself in and try to ween myself off progressively slower. Just a forewarning for all of you thinking of making it your last hurrah.

@@TheMuse2 I totally feel you ! And that feeling your talking about I am definitely going through it right now! I feel like a drug addict going through withdrawal! Ugh and it's only day 3 of pre op

I didn't get that chance????I was called on the 10th and told my surgery could be the 26th if I wanted and of course I did????so I took my grandsons to McDonalds for my last supper lol and then started on low-carb, gave up soda and sweets????. I'm on my second day of full liquids and go to my pre-op visits on 23rd then surgery the 26th...I'm very excited for this new chapter in my life!! And I hope we all heal quickly and meet our goals!! Prayers for you all!!

Yes lol....I only have to do clear liquids the day before surgery but I plan on doing more than that. ....I'm currently waiting on a date.

that doesn't sound bad at all...Good Luck!!

lol, I sure did, I begin my Optifast diet tomorrow the 23rd of march, I have my operation scheduled for the 23rd of april I have also been having like a last supper to say goodbye to all my old favourites. So from tomorrow my whole life will make a change for the better, I cannot wait
