Food and I broke up
I didn't have a "food funeral" before my pre-op diet started. I don't think it felt right to me. I am on Day 11 of my preop diet.
Last night I went and had "drinks" (water with lemon for me) with some really good old friends that I haven't gotten together with in a long time. I had my protein jello before I went. They all enjoyed delicious plates of food.
I admit, it was ok at first the longer the food sat there it just seemed more and more appealing. I said oh, I can have that caprese salad, or when offered chicken fingers I thought, I could just peel the breading off and have the breast meat. But I KNOW me. It would turn into so much more because I wouldn't have been satisfied. I told myself, you can do this, you can have a delicious protein shake when you get home. (LOL)
Made it through with NO FOOD! Then got home and didn't even feel like I needed that shake anymore. Made a cup of broth and called it a night.
I cannot tell you how good I feel. I could have made a million excuses for instance: I never really said "goodbye" to food. You know what? Unhealthy relationship with food and I need closure. We don't need to do the "can you come over and then tomorrow we'll break up thing." We are done. Monday is the day. I am not turning back. It's over done, Food you've been dumped.

I admire your strength - that couldn't be easy!!! Keep that mindset and you will do fantastic after surgery.
It's just a temporary separation - you'll have to eat again, but this time, you will call the shots, not the food :)
I wish I could kind of break of up with food and never have to deal with it lol.
