I know all of us are food lovers. What was your "last" meal before tou started your preop diet? Mine was fettuccine alfredo from olive garden with a breadstick. After that, my husband and I split a piece of yummy white chocolate raspberry cheesecake from the Cheesecake Factory. More calories in one meal then I have had in the last 3 days. Surgery scheduled for 10/26....just reminiscing....

Grilled tilapia, roasted asparagus and ... yeah ... that's it.

I started my pre op two weeks early and no food funerals were had. I figured I had enough food to get me to 264 pounds and I'd eventually have anything I wanted again.

No need to started my pre op with a crap load of carbs that would only make it harder and why risk (minor) weight gain just to have to lose it?

I was cooking up loin chops to freeze up for my son because I had bought them the day before I found out I was starting a 4 wk preop diet.. So I had pork loin and roasted cauliflower :)

I fully admit I had a 2 week food funeral. Went for Mexican like 4 times, ordered pizza 3 times. Had Italian. Had all my favorite fast food--Sonic, Whataburger, Raising Canes, Jack in the Box. Sushi, cake and McDonalds Breakfast almost every morning

The night before I started my pre-op we went to a cool restaurant in El Paso that served gourmet burgers. I had the "California burger"... marbled grassfed beef, terriaki, avocado, pineappe, lettuce and onion. It was awesome.

I suppose I will have it again someday, just a quarter at a time!

I had quite a few food funerals between my lap band unfill and my pre-op for revision. With my lap band, I lived on sashimi (which is still my favorite food) but eating steak was pretty much impossible for me so I went to Fuddruckers and ate a rib-eye steak sandwich with fried dill pickles. :huh:

It was going to be sushi from my favorite place, but I spent about two weeks splurging and by that point, I had gotten it out of my system and realized that I had basically been celebrating the hold food had over me. So I just had a sandwich at subway and that was it.

I'm scheduled for my Sleeve on November 11th. I have a one week pre op liquid diet coming up and I have to laugh at the term "food funeral"!!! So that's what I've been doing! I'm enjoying the foods I know I won't be eating ever again or anytime soon. It's a little sad, but I'm so excited to start this new chapter in my life and start my 50's feeling and looking better. Thanks for the support and laughs!

I ate anything I wanted for about once I decided to have surgery until the two week pre op. It was pretty glorious. I had never eaten whatever I wanted for more than one meal at a time and without extreme guilt . I gained 10 pounds. Yep. I did.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
