My surgery is Jan 17 and today I'm regretting not having a food funeral. Not a massive binge just some extremely spicy street tacos with rice and Beans. And a side of salsa and chips. ????

One of my friends is a general surgeon.. had 2 abdominal ultrasounds done during my preop. Just to be sure.. cos I ate some nigerian food some 5 days before surgery.

Not approving of cheating.. just admitting wrong-doing. That being said I had lost 36 before my pre-op and another 8 during my 2 week preop.

It was clear as hell what the purpose was of the liver shrink diet.

I comprende'd and complied.

I'm too scared to cheat. Plus it's like a personal challenge for me to see if I can do it. I think it kind of sets the mind tone for post op.

What videos???

You CAN do it and your mind tone (great phrase) will be enhanced.

I reached my surgery goal weight in October. I have a protien shake for Breakfast, protien for lunch then whatever I want for dinner. I've been eating all my favorites. I'm 4 lbs below surgery weight now. I'm throwing my best friend a 50th birthday party on January 21. I plan to eat, drink and be merry next weekend. I start my pre-op diet on January 26th.

I have enjoyed eating my favorite foods but not at the expense of putting on more weight.

I had a food funeral and enjoyed it. I also cheated up to two days before surgery. Did a full liquid diet though after. My bmi was 41 before surgery and.i guess I wasn't too concerned ant fatty liver. Not that I'm advising anyone to do the same, but now I'm 5 days post and 1) I don't miss food and 2) don't regret letting my old lifestyle go

Arrrgh! I tried so hard. I put crackers in my soup today.

I didn't have a food funeral but yes, I did cheat but I figured as the purpose of the liver diet was to draw out as much glycogen as possible, I could have a little more protein (which I was craving) and less of the carb portions. Worked out perfectly, the surgeon even gave me a specific mention for having a 'lovely and perfect' liver. Makes a change for a man to be noticing my 'inner beauty' haha

I was told I have to lose 12.5 # I'm afraid to have a food funeral because I'm having a hard enough time losing the weight.

I was told a story of a pt that had steak the day before surgery and when the dr went in with EGD scope prior to surgery and found whole food that hadn't been digested completely they cancelled the surgery and had to reschedule.
