My husband and I are having a "farewell to food tour". He had me pick 5 of the top restaurants I wanted to eat at before my surgery. I have already done my 14 day liquid diet and will just have to be on another liquid diet 3 days before surgery.

I told my dietitian about having food funerals... She flipped on me. I kept doing it but I always used position control. No more then a cup

It's important to be strong. You'll never be about to have anything carbonated like soda. Just follow your instructions of the pre-surgery diet. My taste buds actually changed after surgery. Sugar, Pasta, and bread made me sick. Plus my favorite steak isn't my favorite anymore.

Sure did! The very day that I made the decision to have WLS, my S.O. and I went to The Fishery in Keyport and had platters of the freshest seafood (raw, broiled, and fried), complete with sides. It is a fond memory for me. Every time I remember my food funeral, I smile. I don't have an inkling of regret about having it. Not one.

I had a big ol steak dinner with baked potato and soda. Im glad I did because steak or beef dosent agree with my tummy anymore. I wish I would have eaten one more deli sandwich. bread dosent feel good either in my belly. Enjoy what you really like because you may not enjoy it later. I missed eating after surgery, it depressed me a little too, but thats all in the past. I still miss the deli sandwich when I see my co workers eating them. Good luck on your surgery.

Nope. Personally i dont like the idea of thinking that any food is off limits or forbidden. I say all things in moderation. If you want some mac n cheese have a few bites. If you want ice cream have a little

I was sleeved in september an have lost over 150 lbs

This sounds wierd, but I'm enjoying the heck out of chewing. I know I'll be not chewing for 3-4 weeks, so I'm enjoying it all I can. I went to my fave place for my favorite meal-sized salad yesterday and enjoyed every bite. I just won't be able to eat that volume any more. And it was a half-size! Tonight I made grilled lamb chops and braised fennel for dinner. I don't know how grilled lamb and beef will work postop, but I do know it will be a while before I even try.

I had my food funeral at Artie's in Fairfax, VA at 7pm on February 24th. They have the best burger in Northern Virginia! After almost two weeks without anything substantial I can't wait for mushies, I need a little bit of variety in my life! Luckily my awesome wife has been sprucing up chicken broth for me, she has made it a lot easier to deal.

My dr said not to... But mine was an open face turkey sandwich with mashed potatoes, stuffing and gravy (extra gravy)

I have been eating a ton of raw veggies because it feels like it will be soooo long before I will eat them again.

There is no need for a funeral. food didn't die, you can eat everything you did before the WLS at the proper phase, just in smaller quantities and for some foods, less frequently.

I did have some of my favorites before surgery but I am really hoping to be able to eat some quantity of them after. Although now that I am 2 weeks post op and just starting pureed I really feel as if my tastes will change. I am full so quickly and do not crave the high calorie, fried or overly sweet foods as I used to. Maybe this will change but right now it is all I can do to eat what I need. Couple things that worry me that I'd like to get back to are popcorn, nuts, an occasional 1/2 bagel and cream cheese, occasionally a few chicken wings. Just to name a few. But I am in no hurry. Anyone have these same concerns. or know of my fate with these favorites?

I repeat. If some of you don't get it, then you just don't get it. For those of you that do...

I enjoyed my food funeral as well and no regrets. 3 days before surgery. Has a cocktail too! Mine was French fries, wings and a fresh local tuna steak sandwich. Now that I am healed (4 mos) I have wings and tuna steak (no bread) in very small quantities. No fries. But you will eat wide variety foods after you are cleared by your doctor.
