Pantry/Fridge/Freezer Purge - Does everyone do it?

[SimoneMonet 62]

So I'm almost done with the Purge. Got rid of almost everything in the pantry, fridge and freezer (donated to the local bread pantry and friends) except that which I will continue to be on for the remainder of my pre-surg liquid diet and what I will be on post-op.

I left microwave popcorn - although my gut told me not to...LOL. But my husband asked pretty please. I just requested that he NOT make it while I am at home and not pre-surgery. I don't think I can take the smell. It's too tempting!! 🤣

I also left what my husband will be eating. Basic staples, etc.

Did all of this while I ate my sugar free popsicle - which btw was pretty tasty.

I'm on the pre-op diet and literally just sat down from cleaning out the fridge and pantry! You also reminded me that I forgot to get popsicles at the store 🤦‍♀️

Get them when you can. I would say that I was in a moment of ARRRRRRGH and it was the popsicle that saved me...LOL. SAVED me.

I was hoping to have one after dinner tonight and now I'm going to have to settle with some Crystal Light. I'm making a trip to the store just for them tomorrow 😂

When I purged my home I did not eat anything, I donated to neighbors and charity.

Good for you for doing it now—- better to not be tempted.

sugar free popsicles are a lifesaver— never run out lol

I gave away all of my no-no foods right before surgery. Leaving me with just Protein Shakes, essentially. LOL. I had to go to the grocery store a week out to do the fill-in. My house is 100% bariatric friendly. I live alone, fortunately.

I have 2 teenage boys and I only WISH I could have purged all the bad stuff!! I will say though - at 11 weeks post op the only “cheat” I had was 6 Scoops. Any they were worth it - lol!

I put all the food I can have right now for my pre-op diet in a separate cabinet. That way, I don't have to look at all of the food I can't eat. Doesn't stop me from seeing the frozen burritos and pizza in the freezer, but it helps a little 🙂
