Food funerals are not fun



Recommended Posts

Preop here guys. I’ve made a huge mistake. I had my last weigh in, got my surgery date and insurance approved it. Then I went a little nuts this week. I’ve had onion rings, greasy sandwiches, hot dogs, chips, sugary cocktails, root beer, pizza, chicken strips, ice cream..... and right now I’m paying for it. My stomach hurts. My body is saying “WTF are you doing?! Why would you stop eating this crap for 6 months only to turn around and binge on it?”

I hope I remember how this feels a week, a month, a year from now. That crap food and sugar was not worth it.

Sometimes you've just gotta get it out of your system. But, my goodness, you were enthusiastic! Hope you feel better soon.

A little Masonic,maybe some Tums, but most important a resolve that this kind of sin against yourself, and did you notice. those onions rings and ice cream isn't suffering, but you are?
Say KCGirl WE ARE NOT GOING THERE AGAIN and hold yourself to the promise. This proves your stomach was willing to stay "in training" even if your mind was weak. You(and me also) have come so far,neither of us wants to turn back to blimpdom-Forward to the finish! Do you agree? Good because I'm marching right along side and we can be strong together! Surgery Ho the Wagons!🙆& 🙆

You're not the only one that's done this... most of us have. Now, get back on track and meet us on the loser's bench.

I've been there too. Currently on the second day of my liquid diet. I feel like the food funerals were a learning experience for me. Like you, I got sick and didn't feel pleasant afterwards. I just thought to myself "Was eating whatever I craved worth it?" and I can always say no. Now while I'm doing this liquid diet and wanting to cheat I just remember how sick that my last binge made me.

Don't worry, you'll get on track again. Just learn from this and use it to your advantage.

Wish I could go back to my food funeral and eat even MORE! I’m a month plus out on my bypass and I can barely eat 300-500 cals a day and I deff can’t eat the stuff I love but that’s the plan. 30+lbs down in a month

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
