Food Funerals

Had one today at Mandarin. Surgery date nowhere in site but I need to get this stuff out of the way. If only to remind me how much I don't like it when I'm done.

It wasn't even that good.

Anyone else have food funerals before surgery? Should I not have them? Is this behaviour bad? That's a dumb question, I know it is. I want to get them all out of the way before orientation. 3 weeks to go.

I can't wait to learn new habits.

I never had them.  Never even had a 'last meal' over 27 years of trying to diet. I had 1 too many last meals.  

Good luck!

I am on Optifast now and in a way I guess I did.  Over the holidays I had some of my favourite foods like spicy thai and my dad's garlic loaded prime rib.  I know that would be the last time I enjoyed those things.  But I minded my portions as I knew with days I would be on nothing but shakes.  What I told myself is that any indulgence would create a higher weight and prolong my journey to my goal weight!  Hang in there!  One day at a time

I'm sure some poutine will happen .. and I'll savour it and say goodbye :)

Poutine! That's one thing I didn't think of. *puts it on the list* Great name btw Helena.

Christmas was a funeral of sorts, I hovered over mom to make sure things were cooked exactly to my liking knowing that this was probably my last real Christmas dinner. Of course I helped, there are some things mom can only do right ya know?

You will enjoy many Christmas dinners to come.  I had surgery over 9 years ago and still enjoy Christmas dinner and even have poutine now and then.  I might only get two bites in before I am done with the poutine but honestly *****ally taste anything after 3 bites so I enjoy the few bites I do eat off hubby's and am good to go.  There is nothing that I can't eat in small quantities and never did the food funeral thing as I knew one day I could eat anything I wanted to if I chose to, not the quantity of pre-op but could still eat it.  No need for funerals once you realize that.
