Pre-Surgery Benders

Someone please tell me I'm not the only one to experience this. It's like I have to have all the bad foods before I start my pre-op diet. I feel like it's my way of saying good bye to the things I like to eat....

Food Funerals. Lots of people have them:)

Been having them and they are pissing me off as it's holding back my weight loss. Find I'm eating things I normally wouldn't eat as well.

I’ve been saying goodbye to a few of my favorite foods. So your definitely not alone! I’m looking at it as a positive, if I say goodbye now maybe it will help me through my journey. In moderation of course.


I never did a good funeral, but many folks do. It’s common since you know you can’t eat a lot of foods for a while. Just don’t overdo it and get it out of the way we’ll before the pre op diet if you can, otherwise it makes it that much harder.

I bought Brown Sugar Cinnamon Pop Tarts. I’m 67 and had never had a Pop Tart in my life. I ate one and threw the rest out. I threw away a lot of food. It’s like I just needed a taste. Now I’m well into the 2 week pre-op diet and doing fine.

I have thought about doing that several times, and what stops me is 1) I don't want to have extra pounds to loose pre op and 2) Me personally I would have a guilt trip to live with. My surgeon said don't look at this as a diet, you have been there and done that, look at this as a new start to a new you:778_heartbeat: That is what keeps me going....

lol my last Goodbye was a 25 wing order of which I ate 18 of them and a full pitcher of Amberbock...

I miss beer more than food but down 35lbs since that Cheat meal and Feel so much better about myself, so enjoy yourself and get focused on the task ahead.

Honestly once sleeved its pretty awesome you eat for Example you eat 1 Chicken tender and you feel like you at 12 of them, Saving money and chickens :D

We chickes? thank you very much for your kind cosideration. Life is rough when you have to scratch for,your next bug, you never know if Farmer Brown or his wife will show up with any feed for,you! And they wonder why I'm squawking all the time!

I totally did this the week before I started the pre-op diet. I didn't go crazy overboard but I did have a couple of my favorite foods. You are not alone!

My friends threw me a party last weekend lol (then got extended 6 days longer) but one of my other friends and I have been going to a lot of fun restaurants that I normally wouldn’t go to [emoji847] it’s been really fun! To top off my last day I had sushi with my momma for lunch! Tomorrow will start liquid....say a prayer lol
