I start my one week liquid pre-op tonight at 12. I've been burying my favorite foods since I received my date. Tonight I say good bye and lay to rest my favorite dish from Carrabas... It's rather therapeutic & symbolic for me... I'm excited about my new chance at life. Praying for everyone who will undergo procedures for the next two week. I dont know if my whole food funeral concept is normal lol but i Just wanted to share... Blessings

Good luck to you on your pre-op diet and surgery!

I will admit to having lots of food funerals. I don't regret it.

I enjoyed my food funeral too. Didn't go too crazy but didn't deny myself one thing that last day. I think it's a noble tradition. ;) I'm glad you enjoyed it. Good luck as you begin your preop diet. It's a crazy time but you'll do great!

Our minds tell us we will never eat those foods again so we have to have them. Food funerals are totally normal. I had a few of them before starting my liquid diet.

I didn't regret my food funerals, I feel like I would have regretted if I didn't have them! So have fun tonight and enjoy!

Have some Lentil and Sausage soup for me! Carraba's grilled chicken is the best, since I'm on chicken now I guess I could have some too, thanks for the idea!

I'm pre-op and have a food funeral every time I leave the surgery center. Saturday I was there for support group and made my third visit to my favorite FF spot afterwards. I noticed my visits to the spot are becoming less urgent. On the first visit, that's all I could think about during the WLS seminar. By the third visit, I'm noticing the taste of the food more. I still mourn it, but the thought of never having X again is not as scary. This is such a head game. This forum is helping me to realize that when I lose the weight it's possible my view of food as my good friend and comfort may actually change to fuel for my body. This is still very scary, but seems a bit more manageable. Does anyone post-op continue to mourn their old comfort foods? How have you dealt with this?
