Mmmmm. I've never had in-n-out before

A food funeral is basically when you eat shit before the surgery. Well, maybe not shit, but stuff you won't be able to have after. A lot of people think that food funerals are bad, but I feel like they're good because you'll be less tempted to cheat

I haven't had surgery yet but I had some mini food funerals before my 6 month supervised weight loss started. I mindfully ate steak, bread and red wine one night, Pasta, bread and red wine another night and the next week had mexican food with lots of nachos and margaritas. I actually didn't eat much more than normal but I just knew that it was the last time I would be able to eat so much food at once. I said good-bye to eating like that forever (well almost forever) I will probably have one more "bad" meal between the end of my 6 month supervised weight loss and the start of my 2 week liquid diet. It helped me now that I am on my 6 month diet because I feel like I said goodbye to that stuff and now I am focused on eating healthy and low carb. So far it has helped me feel less tempted to cheat.

I've had a few must have, before I say bye bye...I totally am having food funeral

I had tres leche cake over the wkd. Had to get my last cravings in... I felt horrible afterward but I know i will not touch it after the surgery

I think it's I'mportant to have a "I'll see you later" instead of a funeral... thinking about some of your old favorite foods as "This is goodbye I can't ever have this again" will be a really hard thing to overcome later on after surgery... I did go out for a last huge meal before my surgery diet began but I did it mindfully knowing I'll come back and have hibachi again.. it just won't be with such a huge portion Now some people have to avoid tempting foods altogether to avoid slipping back to bad habits but for me at least.. I do intend to eat everything I once liked.. just with a lot more good food and in a lot more moderation
